How much does gutter vacuum cleaning cost?

It depends on property size, height and access, but most straightforward homes fall somewhere between about £60 and £150. We'll confirm a firm price before booking anything in.

What if a downpipe is blocked further down, not just at the top?

We test flow at every downpipe outlet, not just clear the visible gutter, so a blockage lower down should get picked up. If it's beyond what the vacuum can clear, we'll explain what's needed to sort it.

How long does a gutter vacuum clean take?

A typical semi-detached house takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes. Larger properties, heavily overgrown gutters, or commercial premises with longer runs can take longer — we'll give you a realistic estimate when we quote.

Do I have to sign up to a contract, or can I book a one-off clean?

One-off cleans are entirely fine — plenty of customers book that way. We're also happy to set up an annual or twice-yearly schedule if you'd rather not think about it again.

What if there's a bird's nest in the gutter?

We check for active nests before starting and will leave an occupied nest undisturbed until it's no longer in use, clearing around it where possible and returning to finish once it's clear.

Northumberland County Council · NE46 · 23.8 miles west of our Washington base

Autumn is when gutters in Hexham take the biggest hit. Leaves come down faster than most people realise, and it only takes a couple of weeks of wet, windblown foliage to turn a free-flowing gutter into a standing trough of sludge sat right above your walls.

Book a gutter vacuum clean and we'll clear the moss, leaves and silt, check every downpipe is flowing, and hand you before-and-after photos so you know exactly what's been done and what, if anything, needs a closer look.

We clean gutters right across Hexham and the surrounding area, working out from our Washington base along A69 and the other main routes through this part of the North East.

A Ground-Based Job, by Design

Ladder work on guttering is one of the more common causes of falls around the home, particularly on older properties where the fascia and brackets weren't built to take someone's weight leaning on them.

Our vacuum system removes that risk entirely — the operator stays on the ground, the pole does the reaching, and the property's own guttering never has to bear anyone's weight during the clean.

We're fully insured on top of that, so whether it's a straightforward semi or a taller property reaching the full three storeys, the job is covered from start to finish.

What Our Reach Covers

The pole-mounted vacuum system reaches gutters up to three storeys high, which covers the overwhelming majority of properties in Hexham, from bungalows through to taller terraced and semi-detached houses.

For anything taller or with unusual access requirements, we'll say so upfront during the quote rather than turning up and finding the job isn't within reach on the day.

What's Included in the Price

Every gutter vacuum clean includes ground-based clearance of all accessible gutter runs, a camera check of each section, downpipe flow testing, and before-and-after photos handed over on the day.

Small terrace / bungalow	typically from £60
Bungalow / single storey	typically £50–£80
One-off / overdue clean	typically £80–£150
