Anyone got advice on clearing vegetation from very high gutters?
Is there any kind of robot that goes round gutters cleaning them?
Or anything else short of hiring a "cherry picker"?

Next time I do mine I will spray weedkiller
as some of them have roots in wall...
which is best done in dry weather
as rain washes the weedkiller off before it's been absorbed.

Thanks.
Anyone got any experience of this kind of tool?
I couldn't actually make out how it is meant to work.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Timothy Murphy
saying something like:

A long pole with a hooked-over profiled scraper.

Drain rod set with a 'drop scraper'. Means you don't have to move the
ladder much once up. The scraper doesn't fit all gutters that well, but 5
mins with an angle grinder would modify it to suit.

I did see a gadget once for gutter cleaning with a pressure washer, never
tried it though.
