Question 1

Do you clean gutters on strata and body corporate buildings, or just houses?

Accepted Answer

Crows Nest is heavily apartment and townhouse country. ABS figures show 61% of homes here are flats or units and another 26% are semis, terraces or townhouses, with separate houses making up just 11%. Yes, I take on strata and body corporate jobs. Same as everywhere else, I'm happy to deal with the owner, the owners corporation or the building manager, or any combination, whichever gets the quote moving.

Question 2

How do you quote a job when there's no front yard to stand in and look at the roof?

Accepted Answer

I still come and look in person rather than quoting off a photo. What changes in a place like Crows Nest is access — whether it's a ground-floor roofline I can get a ladder to, or a higher section that needs different gear. I'll tell you on the spot what's involved and what it'll cost, no call centre quoting a price before anyone's seen the roof.

Question 3

My block has a mix of old low-rise units and a newer tower next door. Does that change what you can do?

Accepted Answer

It can. Crows Nest has a lot of older two and three-storey walk-up blocks sitting right alongside newer developments, including the towers approved for construction around the new Crows Nest Metro station. A low-rise walk-up with a standard pitched roof is a straightforward job; a taller tower several storeys up is a different kind of access altogether. That's something I'll talk through with you at the quote stage rather than set a fixed cut-off, since it depends on the building and the access itself.

Question 4

Will I get any proof the job was actually done, especially if I'm not around to watch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I take before and after photos on every job, no exceptions. In a suburb like this where a lot of owners are renting the place out or at work during the day, that matters more than most — you get to see exactly what came out of your gutters without having to stand on the ground watching me do it.

Question 5

Do you clear the downpipes too, or just scoop out the gutter itself?

Accepted Answer

That's something I'll confirm with you at the quote, since it depends on the building and how the downpipes are set up.

Question 6

How do I pay, and do I need to be home?

Accepted Answer

I take invoice or cash, whichever suits you. If you're not going to be home when I do the job, that's fine, the before and after photos mean you're not relying on being there in person to know it's been done properly.
