How often should gutters be cleaned?

Most properties do well with an annual clean. Homes under heavy tree cover, or those that have gone several years without attention, are often better served by cleaning twice a year until the backlog is cleared, then dropping back to annual.

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.

Do you still work in bad weather?

Light rain doesn't usually stop the job, since the vacuum system is unaffected by damp debris. Strong wind or genuinely severe weather can mean rescheduling for safety, and we'll always let you know in advance if that's likely.

Can you also deal with moss on the roof itself, not just the gutters?

Gutter vacuuming clears debris from the gutter and downpipes specifically. If there's significant moss on the roof tiles themselves, that's a separate treatment we can also quote for.

My house is on a tight terraced street — is access still possible?

Usually yes. The pole system's reach means we can often clear front and rear gutters from a single position, and we'll always check specific access before confirming a booking.

When do I pay, and how?

Payment is taken once the job's complete and you've had a chance to see the before-and-after photos. We'll agree the method with you when booking.

Neoclassical 'Tyneside Classical' centre on a medieval street layout; 20th-century Byker Wall estate is Grade II* listed. That mix of roof lines and gutter runs means no two jobs in Newcastle upon Tyne are quite the same, and it's why we survey with the camera before deciding on the approach rather than treating every property identically.

Whatever the style of house, the method stays consistent: ground-based vacuum clearance, a camera check to confirm the gutter and downpipe are actually running, and photo evidence you can keep on file.

That's the outcome we're working towards on every job in Newcastle upon Tyne: gutters that carry water away properly, downpipes that are actually clear rather than just looking clear from the ground, and a set of before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.

Homeowners

For New-Build Owners

New-build guttering still needs regular clearing — narrower uPVC profiles block more easily than older cast-iron systems, and a first-year blockage can leave staining on brickwork that's otherwise still pristine. Getting into a routine early keeps a new home looking new for longer.

See the Difference Yourself

Before-and-after photos: A clear visual record of the gutter's condition before and after every clean.
Pole camera inspection: The same camera used to clear also inspects, so nothing's missed in a run that looks clear from below.
Repair flagging: Anything beyond a routine clean — cracks, loose brackets, sagging sections — gets photographed and flagged.
Straightforward invoicing: A clear price agreed up front, with no surprises added on the day.

Our Process, Downpipe by Downpipe

1
Locate every outlet
We map each downpipe on the property before starting, so nothing gets missed.
2
Clear each run
The vacuum works back from each outlet along its gutter section, pulling debris towards the downpipe.
3
Test each outlet
Water is checked at every downpipe individually, not just once for the whole property.
4
Camera-record the worst offenders
Any downpipe that was slow or partially blocked gets extra camera footage so you can see the before and after.
5
Sign-off
We confirm every outlet is clear before calling the job finished, and provide photos to match.

Downpipe Testing

Alongside the vacuum and camera, we carry water to test each downpipe outlet directly, confirming flow rather than assuming a clear-looking gutter means a clear downpipe further down.
This is often where hidden blockages turn up — a gutter can look empty while a downpipe further along is still restricted lower down, out of sight. Testing each outlet individually catches that.

Vehicle and Street Access

Our vacuum equipment is vehicle-mounted, so we need reasonable access to park close to the property in Newcastle upon Tyne — most residential streets and driveways are perfectly workable, and we'll always check ahead if a property looks tighter than usual.

For terraced streets or properties without direct driveway access, the pole system's reach means we can often still cover front and rear gutters from a single parking position, without needing to access a rear garden or alleyway.
