Could do with borrowing a tall ladder to clear a gutter

I have a 2-3' section of gutter on the corner of my Victorian semi (I'm in a flat) that's blocked. It seems crazy to pay ?200 to get someone out for 10 mins of work I can do myself...


If anyone near Tritton Road has a ladder I can borrow I can leave a deposit/show you my driving license or whatever makes you comfortable in return for a bottle of wine!

I don't know if this would work for you. If you can drop a long string with a weight down from your window you could then tie the string to the end of a hose and pull the hose up. Then get someone on the ground to turn on the hose and you can clear the gutter without a ladder. This is what we have done several times in the past but obviously you need access to a hose and water tap at ground level.

    • I'm thinking of going to India at Christmas and it's been 18 years since I last visited. So long ago, I can hardly remember where I went (I was there for 8 weeks...). Has anyone been to the South recently? I'm thinking Kerala, as we fancy some beach action. 
    • If it's not bolted down it gets stolen, terrible. Some people have no respect for others property.  Hope you reported it to the Police and got a crime reference number, what did they say? 
    • Try pavement, this is London, not the US. The Mayor increased his proportion of council tax in 2025/26 to pay for "more" haha PC's but my understanding is they were cut not increased. A rouse by the Mayor to take more and give nothing in return.  Troubling and far too common here.  Just be careful where you get it out
    • Just saw one of them on lordship lane scanning the area on the sidewalks in a hood and mask on an e-bike.  I just pointed at them pretending that I was on the phone with the cops and he darted away.  Absolute scum. Hard problem to solve. I'm hopeful there are strategies in place to keep our community safe for this but it's troubling.
