Hedgehog Gutterbrush Competition

Tuesday, June 25th, 2013

THE HEDGEHOG GOES DOWN UNDER

Hedgehog Gutter Brush has launched a competition to win a fantastic holiday for two to Australia including air fares, accommodation and spending money worth up to £5,000.

Hedgehog Gutter Brush is a simple yet effective device that helps protect and maintain gutters by preventing leaves, twigs and other debris from entering the gutter – while allowing rainfall to flow freely through them.
The competition has been launched to highlight the importance of preparing and protecting your property for the onset of autumn and winter when blocked gutters and drains can result in expensive fees if professionals are required to clear them.
Hedgehog is manufactured from hard wearing UV resistant polypropylene brush filaments spun around a steel wire spine. It’s virtually indestructible, requires no maintenance and will keep gutters clear year-on-year.
The clever device automatically adapts to the shape of almost any type of gutter, fits around corners and over down pipe outlets and can be simply and quickly fitted in just minutes – without the need for specialist installation.
Hedgehog Gutter Brush retails at just £14.99 for a standard 4mtr x 100mm brush and is available in black, brown or white. The product comes with a 10 year guarantee and is available from most good Builders Merchants and DIY outlets nationwide.
The competition is available to enter until 31st December 2013 with every purchase of a genuine Hedgehog Gutter Brush. Proof of purchase is required and the competition can be entered by simply logging on to: www.hedgehogcompetiton.com
The winner will be drawn at random and announced on talkSPORT Radio in January 2014.
