i had an old pal who used loft hoovers. bought and delivered from Boddy & Ridewood . when he gave up he had 4 in a shed all in a state of dis-repair.
i have seen Karcher advertising one which looks very good . if i remember rightly it had a 3 year gaurantee . i would try that one if i was looking to buy Phil. good luck.
did it affect anybody on site ? we have just got a temporary generator installed . had no electricity or heating since Friday. Scottish power hope to replace the power lines in the spring ! had 100 trees down over our lane , we and 5 neighbors couldnt leave . so we removed a section of our fencing on 2 fields and made a temporary road out for all . crane to remove the trees and chainsaws on the go daily . all as a result of the 105 mph winds ! the place is a darn mess , will be "tidying up" for months .
