Repairs and extras
Most faults found during a clean are small, and the crew can usually fix them on the same visit once you agree the price.
Leaking joints resealed
Dripping joints and end caps cleaned, dried and resealed, so the water stays in the run instead of staining the wall.
Per jointfrom $25
Sagging gutters rehung
Loose or snapped brackets replaced and the run set back to a steady fall towards the downpipe.
Per runfrom $85
Blocked downpipes cleared
Packed leaves and silt pushed through with rods and water, including the bend at the bottom where blockages hide.
Per downpipefrom $45
Gutter guards fitted
Mesh guards that keep leaves out and let rain in, cut to each run. Worth having under tall trees or pines.
Per metrefrom $14
Fascia and soffit wash
Green streaks and grime washed off the boards behind and under the gutter with soft brushes and plenty of water.
Whole housefrom $95

How often gutters need clearing
The trees around a house matter far more than the house itself. Use this as a guide, and let the photos from the first clean set the pattern for yours.
| Around your home | What ends up in the gutter | How often we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Tall leafy trees within a few metres | Leaves, twigs and seed pods | Twice a year, after leaf fall and again in late spring |
| Pines or other needle trees nearby | Needles that knit into a mat | Twice a year, with guards on the worst runs |
| Open garden, nothing overhead | Moss, roof grit and windblown dirt | Once a year |
| Birds nesting under the roof edge | Nest material and droppings | Once a year, after the nesting season |
| Flat roofs or valley gutters | Silt and standing water | Once a year, plus a check after big storms |
Nesting birds are protected in many countries, so an active nest is left in place until it is empty. The rules vary by country, and we follow the local ones.
What happens on the day
Most cleans take one to three hours, and nobody has to be home if the crew can reach the back of the house.
Book by house size
Pick the house size, a day and morning or afternoon. The office confirms within one working day.
Weather check
If high wind or heavy rain is forecast, we ring to move the visit before the crew sets out.
Clear and flush
Every gutter is emptied and the waste bagged, then each run is flushed with water while we watch it drain.
Photos and a note
Before and after photos of each gutter arrive by email, with a note on anything that needs repair.
Feet on the ground wherever we can
On most houses up to three storeys, the gutters are cleared with a long reach vacuum that has a camera on the pole, so the crew stays on the ground and you see the inside of every gutter. Ladders go up with stand offs that keep them off the gutter itself, and a tower is used for the highest runs.
Rules on working at height differ from country to country, and the crew follows the local ones on every job.
- Insured for work at height
- Two people on every ladder job
- Sheets laid over beds and paths below

What homeowners say (example reviews)
The front gutter had been spilling onto the porch for months. The crew found a ball wedged in the downpipe, cleared it, and the photos showed water running straight through.
Booked for a Tuesday, then the office rang on Monday about high winds and moved it to Thursday. Careful people, and the photos of each gutter were a nice touch.
Pine needles had matted into every gutter on the house. They cleared the lot, fitted guards on the back runs and left the patio cleaner than they found it.
Gutter questions
Does someone need to be home?
No, as long as the crew can get to the back of the house. Leave the side gate open, and the photos and the invoice come by email when the clean is done.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not stop a clean, and it helps show the gutters draining. High wind, heavy rain or ice make ladders and poles unsafe, so the visit moves to the next suitable day at no charge.
How do you reach the gutters on a three storey house?
With a long reach vacuum and a camera on the pole from the ground, or a tower where a run needs hands on work. Ladders are never leaned on the gutter itself.
Why does a gutter overflow when it looks empty?
Usually the downpipe is blocked lower down, or the run has lost its fall towards the outlet. Both show up when we flush the gutter with water, and both can normally be put right the same day.
Do you clean roofs or scrape moss off tiles?
Moss that has dropped into the gutters is cleared, but roofs themselves are not cleaned. For the tiles, we suggest asking a roofer, since moss scraped off a roof ends up back in the gutter.
How is the clean paid for?
The invoice comes with the photos once the work is finished, and you pay us directly. Repairs agreed on the day go on the same invoice.
