Gutter Cleaning with Specialist Equipment

Gutter problems are some of the most common high access drainage issues. Gutters can easily get clogged with autumn leaves and other falling debris, leading to the gutters becoming blocked and overflowing with water.

Gutters becoming clogged is just one of the reasons why you should have your gutters cleaned and maintained, as blocked gutters can cause damage to your property and the guttering itself. Flooding, leaking, damp and gutters pulling away from the wall are just some of the issues blocked guttering can cause.

We use specialist equipment such as the SkyVac Gutter Cleaning System to quickly, efficiently and safely clean gutters that have become blocked, clogged or just require regular maintenance. The system uses poles and a range of attachments to ensure that the gutters are cleared safely and efficiently, and the camera ensures that you and the drainage experts know the job has been completed to the highest possible standards.

Gutter Cleaning FAQs

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Gutters should typically be cleaned around at least twice a year to maintain their efficiency and prevent potential damage to your home. Ideally, gutter cleaning should usually happen during the spring and autumn seasons, as this will help to remove any leaves, twigs, and other debris that can collect in the gutters over time. Doing this will ensure proper water flow in the gutter and minimise the risk of potential water damage to your roof, siding and foundation. 

Why is gutter cleaning important?

Gutter cleaning is important for the structural durability of your home. Properly functioning gutters direct rainwater away from your roof, walls, and foundation, avoiding water damage that often leads to costly repairs. Clogged gutters can cause water in them to overflow, creating larger issues like roof leaks, cracks and mould growth on your home exterior. Cleaning your gutter regularly makes sure that the water flows through correctly, protecting your home from these potential issues. 

How long does gutter cleaning take?

The duration of gutter cleaning usually ranges from around a few hours to half a day, but of course, this can vary depending on a number of factors. These factors include the size of your home, the complexity of the debris build-up, and whether any repairs are needed. For reference, a small, single-story home with minimal debris may take only an hour, while a larger home with multiple stories and large debris buildup could take several hours. 

How can I tell if my gutters need cleaning?

You can identify if your gutters need cleaning by just a few simple observations. During rainfall, overflowing water from the gutters indicates that there is a blockage that needs to be removed to allow for water to flow through. Additionally, sagging or drooping gutters also demonstrate a gutter that needs cleaning, due to the amount of debris and leaves weighing it down.

What are the benefits of professional gutter cleaning?

Professional gutter cleaning offers a number of benefits that help to ensure the proper functionality and longevity of your gutter system. Our professionals have the expertise and correct equipment to thoroughly clean and inspect gutters, removing all debris safely and successfully. Our professionals can also identify and address any structural damage that your gutter may be causing to your home, such as leaks, corrosion, or cracks, before they become major issues.
