Is there a contract or a lock-in?

No. One-off cleans and repeat annual cleans are both available, and you can book a single visit and decide about repeats afterwards.

How often should I have the gutters cleaned?

Once a year for most properties, twice a year if you are under trees, on a shaded moss-prone roof, or on an exposed plot.

What is included in each visit?

A full clean of every run, outlets and downpipes cleared and flushed, a flow test to the gully, the roof and gutter check-over, before-and-after photographs, and the ground swept up.

Will you remind me when the next visit is due?

Yes: on a repeat arrangement you are contacted when the visit is due rather than having to keep track of it yourself.

What happens if you find a repair is needed?

You get photographs, a plain explanation and a separate price. Nothing is carried out that you have not agreed to.

Is it cheaper than waiting until there is a problem?

Almost always. A planned clean is a fraction of the cost of emergency clearance combined with repairs, repointing or internal damp work.

Do you cover multiple properties for landlords?

Yes. Repeat visits can be arranged across several properties, quoted individually so the cost per property is clear.

Are you insured for work at height?

Yes: £5 million public liability cover, plus a satisfaction guarantee on the work carried out.

Card, cash or bank transfer (BACS), settled once the work is finished and you have seen the photos.

Do you cover my area?

Bury, Bolton, Whitefield, Ramsbottom, Worsley, Harwood, Bromley Cross, Prestwich and Tottington, plus nearby postcodes across Greater Manchester. Send your postcode and you will get a straight answer.

gutter cleaning

Annual & repeat maintenance explained

Annual and repeat maintenance means booking gutter clearing as a regular visit rather than an emergency. Each visit is a full clean, channel, outlets, hoppers and downpipes, with a flow test, the roof and gutter check-over, and before-and-after photographs. Both one-off cleans and repeat visits are available.

The logic is straightforward. Nearly every expensive gutter and roofline repair started as debris that nobody removed, and the cost of removing debris is a fraction of the cost of repointing a wall, replacing rotten fascia or resetting a sagging run. Regular clearing turns an unpredictable repair bill into a small planned one.

Frequency is matched to the property: once a year for most homes, twice a year under tree cover or on an exposed hillside plot. Card, cash or bank transfer, free quotes, no call-out charge, and no obligation to commit to anything beyond the visit you have booked.

Anyone who has just paid for damp or repointing work caused by an overflow

What's included

One-off or repeat annual cleans
Same check-over and photo record each visit
Card, cash or bank transfer accepted

What happens if it is left

Gutters do not fail suddenly, they fail on a schedule that nobody is watching. Debris builds for two or three years, the run starts holding water, seals harden, a bracket lets go, and then one wet autumn the whole thing overflows onto a wall that has already had two winters of splashing. The bill arrives all at once.

The reactive pattern is also more expensive per visit. Emergency clearing usually means clearing plus a repair plus, sometimes, realignment, all things that would have been a small adjustment if they had been caught the year before at the roofline.

And the damage that gets missed is the damage inside the fabric. Wet fascia timber, saturated wall heads and water tracking behind a gutter do not announce themselves until there is a stain on a ceiling. By that point the repair is roofing and joinery work, not gutter work.

Common mistakes

Only booking a clean once water is already coming over the front
Leaving it three or four years because nothing looks wrong from the ground
Using a different person each time, so nobody knows what changed since last year
Keeping no record, so there is no evidence for a landlord, agent or insurer
Assuming guards mean the system never needs looking at
Cleaning only the front elevation year after year

How the WorkIs Carried Out

Step 1

Free quote and a sensible frequency

From photos and your postcode or a site visit, you get a fixed price and an honest recommendation on whether once or twice a year suits the property.

Step 2

First visit: full clean

Every run cleared, outlets and downpipes cleared and flushed, flow tested to the gully, a proper baseline rather than a light tidy.

Step 3

Check-over and photo record

The roof and gutter check-over is carried out and photographed, which becomes the record the next visit is compared against.

Step 4

Repeat visit at the agreed interval

You are contacted when the next visit is due. The same clean, the same flow test, the same photo record, so changes year on year are obvious.

Step 5

Anything found is quoted, not assumed

If a repair is needed you get photographs and a price, and it is your call. Card, cash or bank transfer, with a satisfaction guarantee on the work.

What you get out of it

Predictable cost

A planned clean from £59 instead of an emergency clearance plus repairs plus repointing.

Nothing to remember

You are contacted when the visit is due rather than noticing the problem yourself in a downpour.

Problems caught early

The same roofline is looked at every year by the same roofer, so changes stand out while they are still small.

A dated photo record

Before-and-after photographs every visit, which is exactly what landlords, agents and insurers ask for.

One-off is fine too

There is no lock-in. Book a single clean and decide about repeat visits afterwards.

Insured and guaranteed

£5 million public liability cover and a satisfaction guarantee on every visit.

Annual & repeat maintenance in detail

Choosing once or twice a year

Once a year suits an average property on an open plot with no overhanging trees. The best window is late autumn, after the leaves are down but before sustained winter rain.

Twice a year suits anything under tree cover, anything with a shaded moss-prone roof slope, and exposed plots that catch wind-blown debris. Those visits usually sit in late autumn and again in spring, once winter rain has washed the roof down.

What a visit always includes

Every run cleared rather than only the front elevation, outlets and hoppers cleared, downpipes cleared and flushed, and a flow test through to the gully. Vacuum, ladder work or both, chosen for the property on the day.

Then the roof and gutter check-over, joints, brackets, fascia, soffit, the lowest roof courses, and the photo record. Ground swept and left tidy. Nothing extra is carried out without being quoted and agreed first.

The value of the same eyes each year

Comparison is what makes maintenance worth more than repeat cleaning. A joint that was weeping slightly last year and is dripping this year is a small repair now; noticed for the first time in three years, it is a wet fascia board.

That year-on-year picture also makes quotes honest. When there is a photographic history of the run, there is no need to take anybody's word for whether something has got worse.

Landlords, agents and multiple properties

For rented property the photo record is often the point: a dated set of images per visit evidencing that the roofline was maintained and showing its condition at the time.

Repeat visits can be arranged across more than one property, and quotes are given per property so the costs are clear rather than bundled. Payment by card, cash or bank transfer.
