Newcastle has streets of tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and their gutters are hard to reach: high at the front, over offshoots and yards at the back. Sectional vacuum poles reach standard two storey guttering and most rear runs without a ladder on a bay window or a flat offshoot roof.
In Jesmond, Heaton and Sandyford the rear gutters often drain into shared downpipes. A blockage there can spill down the back wall for years before anyone notices the damp. We clear the full run and the downpipe tops, and the camera shows you the result.
Semis and estates further out, in Kenton, Westerhope and Kingston Park, are simpler to reach and just as quick to fill after a leafy autumn.
Shared gutters and long rear runs
On a Newcastle terrace the gutter is usually one continuous line along the whole row, broken only by the downpipes. That means your gutter can overflow because of moss or leaves sitting outside a neighbour's house. When we clear a run we look at where the water actually goes, and we will tell you if the problem sits just beyond your boundary so you can have a word next door.
Rear offshoots add a second, lower gutter that collects whatever washes off the main roof. These are the runs people forget, and they are often the ones causing damp patches in kitchens and back bedrooms. The vacuum reaches them from the yard or lane, and the camera shows the outlet is clear.
When to book in the city
Street trees and garden trees in the older suburbs shed most of their leaves in late autumn, so a clear after the last leaves have fallen covers the whole year for many homes. Properties near large trees may need a second visit in spring, when seed cases and blossom wash into the gutter. We are always open for enquiries, so ring 07501060609 whenever suits you.
If you are unsure what affects the cost, our guide to gutter cleaning prices sets out what we look at, including height, length of guttering and access to the back of the house.
Questions about gutter cleaning in Newcastle
Can you reach the back of a terrace from the lane?
Usually yes. Tell us about rear access when you enquire and we will plan for it.
What if the gutter itself is damaged?
We show you the footage and what we found, so you can decide what to do next.
My neighbour's gutter is blocked, not mine. Can you help?
We clear the runs we are booked for and will tell you if the blockage is further along, so you can speak to your neighbour.
Do you clear offshoot gutters?
Yes. Lower rear gutters on offshoots are cleared in the same visit.
