Do you need to use ladders on my house?

In most cases, no. Our vacuum system reaches up to three storeys from ground level with a pole-mounted head and camera, so ladders aren't needed for the vast majority of properties we work on.

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.

Does being near the coast make a difference to gutter cleaning?

Roker is around 0 miles from the coast, which mainly affects wear on metal brackets and fixings rather than the amount of debris. We check for that corrosion as part of every clean.

What happens if you find damage while cleaning?

We won't attempt a repair mid-clean. Instead we photograph and flag whatever we find — a cracked joint, a loose bracket, a sagging section — so you know exactly what it is and can decide how to proceed.

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.

Gutter cleaning is one of those jobs that's cheap to do regularly and expensive to ignore. A routine clear costs a fraction of what it takes to fix a soaked timber fascia, a damp-damaged wall, or a downpipe that's split from being frozen solid with debris.

Our vacuum system does the same job from the ground, reaching up to three storeys with a camera to check the work. Even Roker's exposure to weather blowing in off the coast, roughly 0 miles away, doesn't change the approach — it just means we check the gutters a little more often.

We clean gutters in Roker using a high-reach vacuum system operated from the ground — no ladders resting against your fascia, no one walking your roof edge. The pole reaches up to three storeys, which covers the vast majority of homes we work on.

Tree-Lined and Shaded Properties

Mature trees overhanging a roof are the single biggest driver of gutter blockages we see. Leaves, seed pods, twigs and moss spores land on the roof, wash down into the gutter, and then sit in the shade the same trees provide — which means they stay wet and rot down into thick silt rather than blowing away.

That shaded, damp environment is also ideal for moss to establish in the gutter itself, not just on the roof tiles above it. Properties under tree cover typically need clearing more often than an exposed house nearby, simply because the debris load is heavier and the drying-out time is longer.

For Homeowners Who'd Rather Not Go Up a Ladder

For a lot of people, the real barrier to getting gutters cleaned isn't cost — it's that nobody in the house wants to be up a ladder, or shouldn't be. Because our system works entirely from the ground, that's simply not a factor. You get the gutters cleared and checked without anyone on your property going near a ladder or a roof edge.

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.

Prices are generally hedged around the ranges below, with the final figure confirmed once we know the property's exact height, number of runs, and access.

Front gutters only	from around £50
Full property (front and rear)	typically £75–£140
Extension or outbuilding add-on	typically £25–£45 extra
Repeat annual customer	usually toward the lower end of the range

How Our Gutter Vacuum System Works

We start by walking the property and looking at the roofline from ground level, noting any obvious sagging, overflow staining or loose sections before the vacuum goes anywhere near the gutter.

The pole-mounted vacuum head is then worked along every run, pulling out moss, silt, leaves and any nesting material section by section, while the built-in camera lets us watch what's happening inside the gutter in real time.

Once a run is clear we flush it through and watch the downpipe outlet to confirm water is actually leaving the system, then move on to the next section until the whole property has been covered.

Pole Reach and Coverage

The pole system extends to cover gutters up to three storeys high, which handles the great majority of houses and smaller commercial premises in Roker without any need for a ladder or scaffold tower.
Sections attach and detach depending on the property, so we're not carrying more pole than a job needs, and can work efficiently whether it's a single-storey extension or a full three-storey terrace.
