    Overview

    What it is, who it's for,
    and when it's needed.

    What it is
    Full removal of leaves, moss, silt and debris from gutters and downpipes, with a flush-through to confirm flow, plus a free visual check of the surrounding roof and flashings.
    Who it's for
    Any homeowner — particularly those with overhanging trees, moss-covered roofs, or visible overflow during heavy rainfall.
    When you need it
    Annually as a minimum. Twice a year for properties with overhanging trees. Immediately if you notice overflow, plant growth in gutters, or staining down external walls.
    Why it matters
    Blocked gutters cause more damp and timber damage than almost anything else on a property. A yearly clean is one of the highest-value preventative jobs you can book.

    Don't Wait

    What it costs to leave it.

    Gutter blockages don't announce themselves — until you've already paid for the damage. The signs are subtle, and most homeowners notice them only when it's too late.

    Risks of ignoring it

    • Overflowing gutters saturate external walls, leading to internal damp on the inside.
    • Backed-up water rots facias, soffits and the ends of roof timbers.
    • Frozen blocked gutters can crack the gutter itself or pull it off its brackets.
    • Standing debris encourages plant growth — roots can lift and split UPVC gutters.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • Climbing a wobbly ladder yourself to save the price of a clean — a leading source of DIY injury.
    • Cleaning the visible muck but not flushing the downpipes — blockages remain hidden.
    • Skipping years between cleans on tree-shaded properties — moss builds up faster than you think.
    • Hiring un-insured services that damage tiles or guttering and disappear.

    Our Process

    A clear, honest path
    from quote to guarantee.

    1. 1

      Safe Access

      Roof ladders, towers or harness work as required — never an unanchored ladder against the gutter.

    2. 2

      Hand Clearance

      Debris removed by hand into bags — not blown into your garden or the neighbour's.

    3. 3

      Downpipe Flush

      Each downpipe flushed through to confirm clear flow. Blockages rodded if found.

    4. 4

      Visual Roof Check

      Free visual check of tiles, ridges, flashings and chimney while we're up there — we'll flag anything that needs attention.

    5. 5

      Tidy Up

      All debris bagged and removed. We leave the site cleaner than we found it.

    What a thorough gutter clean includes

    Gutter cleaning sounds simple, but the difference between a half-job and a proper clean is significant.

    • Hand removal of leaves, moss, silt and debris into bags
    • Brush-out of remaining residue along the full run
    • Flush-through with water to confirm flow rate
    • Downpipe rodding where blockages are found
    • Check and re-seat any loose brackets noticed in passing
    • Visual check of roof tiles, flashings and chimney
    • All debris removed from site — nothing left in the garden

    How often you should clean your gutters

    For most properties in County Durham, once a year (typically late autumn after leaves have dropped) is enough. If you have overhanging trees, conifers or a heavily moss-covered roof, twice a year is sensible — once after spring moss runoff and once after autumn leaf-fall.

    Why DIY gutter cleaning isn't worth it

    Falls from height are one of the most common causes of serious DIY injury in the UK. Even at single-storey height, a missed step or a slipping ladder is enough to do real damage. Booking a properly insured pro for an hour or two of work is one of the easiest decisions you'll make.
