Gutter Cleaning Services Sale

How do you clean the gutters?

We tend to use a purpose-built “gutter vac”. This is an eighty-litre wet and dry vac with very powerful motors. We attach a hose and lengths of carbo-fibre tubing with a variety of tools at the end. The vac sucks all the contents of the gutters out leaving them completely empty.

From time to time we still use the ladders to push back slipped tiles or do a minor repair but most of the time, the vacuum is able to do the job 100%.

We have gutter guards, so don’t need our gutters clearing, do we?

Gutter guards can cause more problems than the one they were designed to solve.

Silt, sludge and general debris build up beneath the guard, and then grass and weeds begin to grow up around and through the guard. So, although whole leaves and twigs are kept out, you can end up with a more extensive job a little further down the line.

The bristly guards are the best option when considering gutter guards.

The water from the gutter runs down the outside of our downspouts. Why is this?

The water from the gutter runs down the outside of our downspouts. Why is this?

One of two reasons. Either your drains are blocked. So when it rains, the water has nowhere to go, and it backs all the way up and then over and down. The angle piece to the downspouts is fitted upside down so the flange is outside rather than inside the downspout.

We see both issues and can fix them usually with no drama.
