OK, I'll play along for a bit.
Man puts ladder up against front of house. He climbs ladder with bucket and trowel and clears out guttering.
He then goes round the back, puts ladder against back of house, climbs ladder with bucket and trowel and clears out guttering.
He comes down ladder, probably after around 30-45 mins, I give him fifty quid and off he happily goes to his next job.
Or he stands on ground with long pole and flushes out guttering, which takes even less time
So
1, You say I have a duty to care for workers on my property. What exactly do you want me to do, hold the ladder? Quite happy with that
2. Someone on here said it's a half day job for two people probably worth about £150. If that is not taking it what is?
3. Most people these days who do jobs like this are on their jack to keep costs down, so what should my gutter man do, hire temporary staff, and if so what would their role be?
All I did was open a thread on here and ask if anyone thought £80 was a reasonable quote. What I have received since then, is quite frankly a load of what is sitting in my gutters.
