Gutter cleaning costs can vary depending on the type and size of your property. Factors such as the length of the guttering and the job’s complexity come into play. Situations, where the guttering is over an extension, can add considerable time and effort to clean guttering effectively. The average 3 bed semi-detached house would cost £150 for a clean out and wash over of gutters if access around the property is good.
Additional costs can be incurred if there are accessibility issues. Other factors such as the height of the guttering make the job more of a challenge to clean as the control of the cleaning object from the floor is much more difficult.

It is recommended to clean gutters at least annually – however it depends on where you live and what kind of nature surrounds your property. For instance, if your home is surrounded by many trees from which leaves could accumulate in the gutters, a more regular clean would be recommended. Some properties we clean are done on a quarterly basis because of their environment. Each situation is different and we can help advise you on what regularity might be beneficial for your property.
Blocked gutters can have serious consequences. If gutters are not cleaned, they will become blocked and start to leak or overflow. If water overflows from the gutters, it will almost certainly lead to damp in the property which could be visible with mole appearing on the internal walls but in more extreme cases it might lead to foundation cracks or even structural failure to a building. If mould is apparent this can cause serious health problems.
A regular gutter inspection is advised to make sure they are not blocked. If you notice any of the following, you may have clogged gutters:
– Water overflow
– Animals and pests by the roof
– Plant growth
– Stain marks
– Cracked or damaged walls
– Sagging gutters
– Long time since gutters were cleaned
If you’ve seen any of the signs that your gutters might be clogged up, it is time to call the professionals.
Gutter guards are a good investment for homeowners with lots of leaves or who want less gutter cleaning. While they don’t completely remove the need to clean gutters, they reduce debris buildup, help water flow better, and prevent clogs. Costs vary by material and installation, but they save time and money by reducing how often you need to clean.
The best times to clean gutters are in spring and late fall. In spring, you clear out winter debris like branches and pine needles to prepare for spring rains. In late fall, you remove leaves and debris before winter, so they don’t freeze and block the gutters.
How often you need to clean your gutters depends on your environment, especially the trees and weather nearby. If you live in a leafy area, you may need to clean every few months. In less leafy areas, once a year might be enough. Waiting too long can cause blockages, overflow, and damage. Check your gutters regularly and adjust cleaning based on your property’s needs to keep them in good shape.
