Just went outside to clean our leaves off the front path and some bloke called DH over and said that he comes to our street every year offering to clean people's gutters. He reckons he had done 9 houses in the street today and that he has seen our gutter and it's half full of sludge. He offered the "bargain" price of a tenner for the front and 15 for the back and dh accepted.
I was fuming and told Dh there was nothing wrong with our gutters - the ones lower down on our garage and porch occasionally get leaves in which dh clears himself but no-one has ever had to clean the roof gutters in the 11 years we have been here. We have never had a problem. There are no trees nearby that are higher than the house so quite what they were supposed to be blocked with I don't know. He also said he could see the sludge in our gutters while he was doing other people's gutters. Really? I fail to see how he would be able to see in them.
I told dh it was probably the quickest 100 quid he'd ever made for a couple of hours work and that was only one street and that if he didn't go back and tell the bloke not to come then I would NOT be happy.
Give him his due, he went back and told the bloke his wife wouldn't let him have it done.

I am assuming this is a scam? I am annoyed that other householders have been duped into it - is it worth reporting it to the council do you think?
