Gutter cleaning

We clear gutters with a gutter vacuum, working from the ground where possible and to working-at-height rules where not. Because we are roofers, we also photograph the gutters and roof edge and tell you if anything needs attention.

Signs to look for

How do you know you need it?

Water spilling over the gutter

In heavy rain, overflow usually means a blockage at an outlet.

Plants growing in gutters

If something is growing, the gutter has been full for a while.

Damp patches on outside walls

Overflowing gutters soak brickwork and can lead to damp inside.

Our approach

How do we do it?

  1. 01

    Vacuum clear

    High-reach vacuum removes moss, leaves and silt without anyone leaning off a ladder.

  2. 02

    Check downpipes

    Outlets and downpipes tested so water actually drains away.

  3. 03

    Photograph

    Camera photos before and after, so you can see the result.

  4. 04

    Roofer’s eye

    Any slipped tiles, sagging gutters or failing fascias noted for you.
