🛠️Service FAQs
What's included and what to expect from our service
What's included in your gutter cleaning service?
Every job includes: vacuum clear of gutters, debris removal and bagging, downpipe unblocking (where accessible), visual structural checks, before/after photos, and a water flow-test where access permits. We also tidy up and take all waste away.
Do you provide same-day service?

Do you offer commercial gutter cleaning?
Yes—we service shops, offices, schools, and apartment blocks. Method statements, RAMS, and insurance certificates available upon request. Flexible scheduling including out-of-hours and weekends.
Can you handle difficult access?
Our high-reach vacuum system covers most awkward areas up to 40ft (≈12m) including over conservatories, extensions, and tight spaces. Send a photo and postcode—we'll confirm the best approach.
Do you clean conservatory gutters?
Absolutely. Our ground-based system reaches over conservatories safely without climbing on the roof. We also clear any debris that's landed on the conservatory itself.
Can you handle 3-storey properties?
Yes—our professional high-reach system cleans up to 40ft (around 3-4 storeys) safely from the ground with camera inspection to verify completion.

🔧Maintenance FAQs
Keeping your gutters in top condition year-round
What details help you quote faster?
Your postcode, property type (bungalow/semi/detached/townhouse), number of gutter runs, and a quick photo of any problem areas. With these, we can usually provide a fixed price within 30 minutes.
Will you check downpipe flow?
Yes—flow tests are included where access permits. We run water through to verify clear drainage. Underground drain issues are flagged if suspected, though these require specialist drainage contractors.
Do gutter guards mean I never need cleaning?
No—guards reduce bulk debris (leaves, twigs) but fine material (moss, seeds, silt) still builds up over time. Periodic vacuum clearing keeps flow optimal and extends gutter lifespan.
Can you unblock downpipes?
Yes—we clear accessible downpipes using high-pressure vacuum and confirm flow with water test. Stubborn blockages may need drain rods. Underground drain blockages require specialist drainage services.
Do you repair gutters or just clean them?
We focus on cleaning but can re-seal leaking joints, realign sagging sections, and replace worn rubber seals during our visit. Major repairs or replacements need roofing specialists—we can recommend trusted partners.
What if I haven't had gutters cleaned in years?
No problem—heavily blocked gutters are our specialty. We'll vacuum out compacted soil, moss, and vegetation. Severely blocked gutters may take longer and cost slightly more, but we'll confirm pricing before starting.
🛡️Safety FAQs
How we keep you, your property, and our team safe
Is gutter cleaning safe?
We primarily work from the ground using high-reach vacuums (up to 40ft) with on-pole cameras for verification. Ladders are used only when necessary and safe to do so, with proper stabilization and fall protection.
Are you insured?
Yes—£5M public liability insurance covering property damage and personal injury. Our technicians also hold IPAF and Working at Height certifications. Insurance certificates available on request.
Do you work in bad weather?
Light rain is fine and doesn't affect our vacuum system. We'll reschedule during high winds (35mph+), thunderstorms, or icy conditions to keep everyone safe. We monitor weather and will contact you proactively if needed.
Do you need to use my electricity?
No—our vans carry onboard power generators and water tanks. We're completely self-sufficient, so we can complete the job even if you're out or power is unavailable.
Are your staff DBS checked?
Yes—all technicians are DBS-checked, uniformed, and carry photo ID. Essential for schools, care homes, and customers who prioritize security. We can provide DBS certificates upon request.
What safety certifications do you hold?
Our team holds: IPAF (powered access), Working at Height certification, First Aid training, and Health & Safety training. We follow HSE guidelines and provide RAMS for commercial sites.
