  • Gutter cleaning a DIY job or not?

    I’ve lived in my two-storey house for 6 years and I’ve never had the gutters cleared. My friend said I should get someone in to do it for me but I don’t know what the state of them is. I’m worried I’ll be wasting money hiring someone. Are there any tools I can buy to clear them from the ground (not good with heights) or should I bite the bullet and get someone in?
