From £70 — fixed-price quote Ground-level vacuum clearance Up to 12m reach — no scaffolding Downpipes flushed and flow-tested Fully insured Service Overview ## Understanding gutter clearing & maintenance ## What it is Gutter clearing is the complete removal of leaves, moss, roof grit, silt, nesting material and standing water from rainwater channels and downpipes — followed by a flow-test to confirm every drop reaches the drain. ## Who it's for Any property with overhanging trees within 30m, any home that has not had gutters cleared in the last 24 months, and every house older than 5 years with concrete tiles (which shed grit). New-builds with poor pitch are equally affected. ## When you need it Late autumn after leaf-fall is the textbook window, plus a spring check if you have nearby evergreens. We work year-round, including emergency callouts when overflow has already started damaging walls. ## Why professional help matters DIY ladder work is the single most common cause of householder serious injury. Window-cleaner gutter clears typically reach only the lengths visible from one ladder position — the corners and downpipe drops stay blocked. Vacuum systems clear the entire run from one ground position. If left untreated ## The cost of doing nothing. - Overflowing gutters saturate the wall cavity, leading to internal damp and blown plaster within one wet season. - Standing water rots timber fascia from behind — invisible until paint blisters or boards drop. - Frost in blocked gutters expands and splits the joints — a cheap clear becomes a much bigger replacement bill. - Moss runoff stains render and brickwork permanently if left dripping for months. - Overflow at ground level erodes foundations and tracks water into the underbuild. Common mistakes ## What we see go wrong. - Leaving it 'one more year' — the cost of damage always exceeds the cost of clearance. - Hiring a window cleaner who only reaches the front elevation. - Power-washing gutters from above and driving the debris into the downpipes. Our Process ## A predictable system, from first call to clean-up 1. 01 ### Inspection We walk the property and assess every run before we set up. 2. 02 ### Vacuum Clearance 40ft industrial wet/dry vacuum extracts leaves, moss, silt and standing water from the ground. 3. 03 ### Downpipe Test Each downpipe is flushed and timed — confirms no blockage between gutter and drain. 4. 04 ### Tidy & Sign-Off Debris bagged and removed, ground left as we found it, walk-through with you before we leave. The Benefits ## What you actually get for the money. - ### Zero ladder damage to walls Ground-level system protects render, paint and window sills. - ### Faster than ladder cleans Most semis cleared in 60–90 minutes vs half a day on ladders. - ### Catches problems early We flag loose brackets, split joints and missing end-caps before they cost you. - ### Free quote Quoted on linear-metre basis, not by the hour. No clock-watching. - ### Optional yearly contract Set-and-forget annual visit at a discounted rate helps keep gutters flowing year after year. Deep Detail ## The technical bit — for the people who like to know ### Equipment we use Industrial wet/dry gutter vacuums with 12m carbon-fibre poles and a range of heads to handle dry leaves, wet silt and waterlogged moss from ground level — no ladders, no scaffolding. ### What goes in your gutters Concrete tile grit (continuous), wind-blown leaves (autumn), moss from algae mats (year-round in shaded postcodes), bird and squirrel nesting material (spring), and atmospheric silt (everywhere). Each requires different vacuum settings. ### Common gutter problems we catch Negative falls (gutter pitched away from downpipe), failed slip-joints, snapped fascia brackets, missing leaf-guards, perished downpipe shoes, and tile slip blocking the drop. We'll let you know — no commission, just information. ### Why vacuum beats blow Leaf blowers shift debris but leave wet silt, send moss into downpipes and scatter material across roofs, drives and gardens. Vacuum captures everything into a bin for disposal. ### Commercial gutter work Schools, offices, industrial units and warehouses cleared on planned-maintenance contracts. Out-of-hours scheduling available. FAQ ## Straight answers to common questions How much does a gutter clean cost?
