Gutter cleaning in Radford, Old Radford and Bobbers Mill
Gutter Cleaned is a Nottingham gutter cleaner run by Stephen Fudge, a former Local Authority Cleaning Inspector. We clean gutters across Radford, Old Radford, Bobbers Mill and the streets either side of Radford Boulevard from the ground with a SkyVac, film every job on GoPro, and fix the price before we start — terraces and bungalows from £95, semis from £120, three-storey houses from £160. Radford is the closest area to our New Basford office and one where the SkyVac earns its keep: 11 jobs on its streets in the last year, a good share of them for landlords, and a lot of them three storeys up on streets where there is nowhere to put a ladder.

Three recent Radford jobs, exactly as the customer saw them
Every clean gets a GoPro before-and-after sent the same day. Here’s what that looks like on real Radford houses — a three-storey terrace cleared from the pavement, a courtyard close under its own trees, and a Victorian building with its original cast iron — what we found, what we did, and what the customer said afterwards. All our Google reviews are below.
Three-storey terrace, Birkin Avenue NG7
A gutter nine metres up that had turned into a lawn
- ●What we found
A tall Victorian terrace with attic rooms, chimney stacks and a front gutter nine metres above a road with cars parked nose to tail along it. Nobody had been up there in years because nobody could, and the moss from the slates had rotted into soil deep enough for a mat of chickweed to green over the whole run.
- ●What we did
SkyVac clear of the full run from the pavement with the reach poles — weeds, roots and the soil under them out — then the outlet and downpipe flushed until they ran. While the camera was up there we turned it onto the roof itself and sent the customer close-ups of the slates and the stacks, so he could see the state of a roof he had never seen.
- ●Result
Gutter clear the full length of the terrace and draining, three storeys up, with no scaffold, no drone and no ladder against the brickwork. GoPro footage of the gutter and the roof sent the same day.
“Steven was most helpful and not only supplied me with photos of the clear gutter, he also turned his camera to the roof so I could see close ups of the tiles. Very good value and and no messing about with scaffolding or drones.”
Modern house, Fisher Street NG7
Spiked guards for the pigeons, nothing for the leaves
- ●What we found
One of the newer courtyard closes, where the trees planted when the houses went up are now tall enough to fill a gutter every autumn. The run was packed solid with dry leaves, and the row of spikes along the edge — fitted to keep pigeons off — had done nothing to keep the leaves out.
- ●What we did
SkyVac clear of every run from the ground, working round the spikes, then the outlet and downpipe flushed until they ran clear. A quick job on a two-storey house, priced at the terrace rate.
- ●Result
Gutter clear from end to end and carrying the rain again instead of holding it. With those trees it will fill again next autumn, so the customer knows when to book. GoPro before and after sent the same day.
Victorian building, Seely Road NG7
Grass growing in the cast iron between two steep roofs
- ●What we found
A handsome Victorian red-brick building on the Lenton side of Radford, with steep clay-tiled roofs, decorative tile courses and the original cast-iron gutters. The run between two roofs had filled with moss and silt and a clump of grass was growing out of it — the kind of gutter that gets left because the only way to it is a ladder on old tiles.
- ●What we did
SkyVac clear of the full run from the ground — grass, roots and silt out — then the outlet flushed until it ran clear. Nothing leaning on the tiles, nothing touching the cast iron except the vacuum head.
- ●Result
Original cast-iron gutter clear along its full length and draining. Booked quickly, done in one visit, footage sent the same day.
“Responsive and efficient service at a good price. Would recommend.”
Gutter cleaning services for Radford homes
From blocked terrace gutters to three-storey rooflines and rented houses — all done from the ground with SkyVac and GoPro footage on every job.
High-Level Gutter Cleaning
Radford has more three-storey terraces than almost anywhere in Nottingham — the tall Victorian houses off Alfreton Road, Ilkeston Road and Hartley Road, built with attic rooms for the lace and hosiery workers. The SkyVac reaches four storeys from the pavement, so nobody goes up a ladder, out of a dormer window or onto scaffold to get at the top gutter.
Learn more →Landlord Gutter Services
A large share of Radford is rented — student houses near the university, HMOs on the terraces, and family lets on the estates. We arrange access with the tenant, send you the GoPro footage as your record, and price several houses on the same street as one job. A blocked gutter is the cheapest damp problem a landlord will ever fix.
Learn more →Blocked Gutter Cleaning
The most common job we do in Radford. On the terraces it's moss off the slates and roof grit settled in a shared run that backs up next door; on the newer closes it's leaves from the courtyard trees in plastic guttering. We clear it, flush every downpipe and restore full flow — with GoPro evidence of every run.

Owner & Operator · Former Local Authority Cleaning Inspector
When you book Gutter Cleaned for your Radford clean, you deal with one person from start to finish — no call centre, no subcontractors. The person who quotes the job is the person who does the work and answers the phone afterwards.
I spent years as a Local Authority Cleaning Inspector, checking other people's work was done to standard, on top of 25+ years in professional cleaning. That trained eye is what I bring to every Radford gutter I clean — and it's why every job comes with GoPro before-and-after footage, so you never have to take it on trust.
Cleaning your Radford gutters, step by step
Every clean follows the same routine — entirely from the ground, no ladders against your walls, no one on your roof.
Fixed quote
Tell us your property type and Radford postcode — we reply with a fixed price, no call-out fee.
GoPro before footage
We record every gutter run before we start, so you can see the condition and the debris level.
SkyVac clear
Vacuum poles draw out moss, silt and leaves from the ground — up to four storeys. On Radford's terraces that usually means moss and silt in a shared run three storeys up; on the newer closes, leaves in plastic guttering.
Downpipes flushed
We clear and confirm every downpipe is flowing before we finish.
Anything flagged
Cracked joints, sagging runs or loose brackets spotted on the way — photographed and pointed out. On the Victorian terraces that's usually a cracked cast-iron joint, a downpipe pulled away from the wall, or worn pointing where the gutter has been overflowing for years.
Footage & tidy
Debris taken away, nothing left on your drive, and your GoPro before & after sent over the same day — easiest by WhatsApp.
If we find damage
We report it, we don't repair it. If a joint has failed, a bracket has gone or a downpipe is cracked, you get a photo and a plain explanation the same day, and it goes in your report so you have it in writing. We don't do gutter repairs, so there's no reason for us to find problems that aren't there — you decide what to do next, and you can use the footage to get a repair quoted properly.
What we find on Radford jobs
Three storeys up and no way to get there
The tall terraces off Alfreton Road, Ilkeston Road and Hartley Road were built with a third storey for the lace workers, and their gutters sit nine metres above a pavement with cars parked nose to tail along it. Nobody has been up there in years, because nobody can. Years of moss from the slates rot into soil, weeds root in it, and the first anyone knows is a damp patch on an attic ceiling. The SkyVac reach poles get there from the pavement with the GoPro showing us exactly what's in the run.
Shared runs on the terraces
A terrace gutter is one continuous run serving six or eight houses, with an outlet every so often. When one outlet blocks, the water backs up along the run and overflows at a neighbour's house, which is why the house with the problem is often not the house with the blockage. We flush every outlet on the run and check the flow at both ends, and tell you if next door's section is the cause.
Leaves in the courtyard closes
The newer housing around Radford Boulevard and off Alfreton Road was built with courtyards and young trees, and twenty years on the trees are big enough to fill a plastic gutter every autumn. Spiked guards fitted to keep pigeons off do nothing to keep leaves out. Plastic bows between brackets as it ages, so the leaves settle in the sag and set into compost by spring.
The property types we clean in Radford
Radford was a lace and hosiery village that the city swallowed in the nineteenth century, then half-cleared and rebuilt in the 1960s and 70s — so its gutters come in three distinct eras, and each one blocks differently.
Three-storey terraces and town houses
The tall red-brick terraces with attic rooms, bay windows and decorative stonework, many now student lets or HMOs. Cast-iron or replacement plastic gutters at nine metres, shared runs, and chimney stacks that shed mortar and moss into them. We clean them entirely from the pavement — no ladders against 130-year-old brickwork, no one leaning out of a dormer.
Two-storey terraces
The two-up two-down terraces that survived the clearances, mostly slate-roofed with shared gutter runs and a back addition with its own small gutter that everyone forgets. Front and rear done from the ground, every outlet flushed, and the back addition checked as part of the job.
Post-war council housing
Low-rise flats, maisonettes and terraced houses with flat or shallow roofs and long runs of plastic guttering. Moss and grit collect in the sag between brackets, and the gutter on a flat-roofed block is often the only thing stopping water getting into the top-floor flats. Landlords and housing associations book these as a block.
Modern infill housing
Brick houses on courtyards with young trees and plastic gutters, usually two storeys. Easy to reach but easy to ignore — the leaves build up for years because nothing overflows until the outlet is solid. Quick to do and priced at the terrace rate.
From our office to your Radford gutters
We're based in New Basford, so Radford is the next neighbourhood along. Here's the run our van makes most weeks.
Radford sits on the west side of the city centre, between the Boulevard and the River Leen, and takes its name from the red ford across the Leen that is in the Domesday Book as Redeford. It grew from a village into a lace and hosiery district in the nineteenth century, which is why so many of its terraces have a third storey — attic workrooms for the framework knitters — and why John Player’s built its tobacco factories on Radford Boulevard. Large parts were cleared and rebuilt in the 1960s and 70s, so the Victorian streets now sit alongside post-war estates and newer courtyard housing. For gutters that means a mix of tall shared terrace runs, flat-roofed blocks and plastic guttering under young trees, often on the same street.
We set off from Chelsea House on Chelsea Street in New Basford and come down Alfreton Road, past the old Radford Baths and the Forest Recreation Ground on the left, or along Radford Boulevard past the Player’s buildings. Ilkeston Road runs west towards the university and the Lenton border, Hartley Road and Churchfield Lane climb through the tall terraces towards Bobbers Mill, and Radford Bridge Road crosses the Leen to the Aspley side.
Door to door it’s under two miles and ten minutes, which is why a Radford overflow can usually be dealt with the same week and sometimes the same day, and why there are no travel charges anywhere in NG7.
The Victorian streets
Alfreton Road, Ilkeston Road, Hartley Road, Birkin Avenue, Churchfield Lane and the terraces of Old Radford and Bobbers Mill — the tallest roofs, the shared runs and most of the rented houses.
The estates and the newer closes
The post-war housing around Denman Street and Forster Street, and the courtyard closes off Radford Boulevard and Alfreton Road — flat roofs, plastic gutters and young trees, all at the same fixed pricing.
Radford streets and postcodes we cover (NG7 1, NG7 3, NG7 5)
We clean gutters across the whole of Radford, Old Radford and Bobbers Mill, and the streets either side of Radford Boulevard. These are the roads and areas we work in — if yours isn't listed, we still cover it.
Plus the whole of NG7 1, NG7 3 and NG7 5. No travel charges anywhere in Radford.
Gutter cleaning in Radford, answered
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Radford?
Most two-storey Radford terraces are £95. Semis start at £120, standard detached houses at £145, and the three-storey terraces and town houses at £160 because of the reach involved. All prices include VAT and are fixed before we start — conservatory, extension and garage gutters are quoted separately.
Can you reach the gutters on a three-storey terrace in Radford?
Yes — it is the job we do most in Radford. The SkyVac reaches four storeys from the pavement with carbon-fibre poles, and the GoPro camera on the end shows us, and you, exactly what is in the gutter. Nobody goes up a ladder, onto scaffold or out of a dormer window, and the cars parked along the street stay where they are. See high-level gutter cleaning for the tallest terraces.
How do I find a reliable gutter cleaner in Radford?
Ask how they reach the gutter, whether they send footage, and whether the price is fixed before they arrive. Radford is three-storey Victorian terraces, most of them rented, so the second question is the one that matters: a landlord needs dated footage for the file, not a text saying it is done, and a gutter cleaner who cannot reach the top run from the pavement will either skip it or go out of a dormer window. We work from the ground to four storeys, film every run, and fix the price from your property type.
Do you clean gutters on student houses and HMOs in Radford?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents across Radford and Lenton. We arrange a time with the tenants, need only a socket just inside the door, and send you the GoPro before-and-after as your record. Several houses on the same street are priced as one job. See landlord gutter services for how it works.
How long does a gutter clean take in Radford?
About 45 minutes for a two-storey terrace, an hour for a semi, and up to two hours for a three-storey terrace with a back addition. That includes the GoPro before and after and flushing every downpipe.
My gutter is overflowing but my neighbour’s looks fine — why?
Because a terrace gutter is one shared run. If the outlet at your neighbour's end is blocked, the water backs up and overflows at the lowest point, which is often your house. We flush every outlet on the run and check the flow at both ends, and tell you if the blockage is on somebody else's section.
Do you cover all of Radford?
Yes — the whole of Radford, Old Radford and Bobbers Mill, NG7 1, NG7 3 and NG7 5, from the Alfreton Road end down to the Ilkeston Road and Lenton border. If you're nearby in Lenton, Hyson Green, Forest Fields, Basford or The Park, we cover those too.
How often should Radford gutters be cleaned?
Once a year for most houses, after leaf fall in November. The three-storey terraces are worth doing every year without fail, because a blocked gutter nine metres up does a lot of damage before anyone notices it. Rented houses are best put on the Gutter Health Plan so they are done on a schedule without anyone having to remember.
How soon can you clean gutters in Radford?
Usually within the week, and often sooner — Radford is ten minutes from our office. Send your postcode through the form or call 0800 086 2887 and we come back the same day with a fixed price and the slots we have.
How do I pay for gutter cleaning in Radford?
By card on the day — we carry a SumUp tap-and-go machine and you get a receipt straight away. Landlords can pay by bank transfer on invoice. The price is fixed before we start, so what you're quoted is what you pay.
Do I need to be home for the gutter clean?
Someone does — the SkyVac runs off mains power, so we need an outdoor socket or a plug just inside the door. For a rented house that's usually the tenant, and we arrange it with them directly. We send the GoPro before-and-after footage over the same day, easiest by WhatsApp.
