Gutter Cleaning & Maintenance

Blocked gutters are a common cause of damp and water damage. Leaves, moss and debris build up over time and stop water draining, so it overflows. Gutter cleaners typically clear gutters by hand or with a gutter vacuum, and many will check downpipes and fit leaf guards if you want them.

Why Consider Gutter Cleaning & Maintenance?

  • Helps prevent overflow and damp walls
  • Vacuum or hand clearance
  • Ask whether downpipe checks are included
  • Optional leaf guards can reduce future blockages

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Once a year is a common rule of thumb, ideally in late autumn after the leaves have fallen. Homes near trees may need cleaning twice a year. As a guide, cost guides put gutter cleaning at roughly £50–£120 for a small terraced house and £165–£300 for a three-storey house.
