Do you take the moss away?

Bagged and removed from site as standard. It doesn't end up in your borders.

What's the camera for?

It mounts on the pole so you can see the inside of the gutter before and after. No more taking it on trust.

What if my gutters are blocked solid?

The vacuum will still clear most of it; a small amount of really compacted growth occasionally needs a manual hand scoop, which we'll quote on top if needed.

Will you spot fascia damage?

Anything obvious — staining, sag, rotten board ends, lifted gutter brackets — gets photographed and noted in the invoice email.

Yes — £5m public liability. The whole point of working from the ground is that it's safer, but the cover is there.
