Why clean the gutters?
Blocked gutters can't carry water away. In heavy rain it backs up and can be forced into the roof cavity and the house, damaging your roof and costing you a lot more to fix than a clean ever would. Debris also washes into the downpipes and, if you're on tank water, towards your supply.
How we clean gutters
Our telescopic lance with gutter nozzles reaches the gutters of a double-storey home from the ground, so the job is quick and there's less climbing. If it's safe enough, we also access the roof. Heavy debris is cleared out and the gutters are flushed clean. If we're washing the roof we clean the gutters and blast down the downpipes anyway.
Got solar panels up there too?
Most people forget about them because they're out of sight. While we're doing the gutters we can clean the solar panels as well, so you're not losing power to salt and grime.
Best done with the roof
Gutters are usually done with a roof wash and treatment from autumn through to spring, or on their own once the leaves have dropped and before the winter rain.
“They soft washed it, 2 storeys high, cleaned out the spoutings and cleaned all the windows. They did a fantastic job, were on time, polite and respectful.”
Common questions
Can you clean gutters on a two-storey house?
Yes. Our telescopic lance with gutter nozzles reaches double-storey gutters from the ground, and we can also work from the roof where it is safe.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
It depends on the trees around the house. Autumn is a good time, after the leaves have dropped and before the winter rain.
What happens if I leave blocked gutters?
Water backs up and can be forced into the roof cavity and the house. That can damage your roof and cost a lot more to fix than a gutter clean.
Can you do the roof at the same time?
Yes. Gutters are cleaned as part of a roof wash and treatment, on the same visit.
