Do you fit gutter guards or covers?

Our core service is vacuum clearance and inspection rather than fitting guards, but if a property would clearly benefit from them we'll say so and point you in the right direction.

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.

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.

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.

Blocked gutters rarely announce themselves until the damage is already underway. A downpipe that gurgles instead of draining, a dark damp patch creeping under the eaves, moss taking hold in a fascia board that's stayed wet too long — these are the quiet symptoms of gutters that haven't been cleared in a while.

The point of a gutter clean isn't the clean itself — it's what stops happening afterwards. No more water sheeting down the brickwork in heavy rain, no more damp patch spreading across a bedroom ceiling, no more moss creeping along a fascia that used to be white.

When did you last actually see inside your gutters? For most homeowners in Roker the honest answer is never — they're twelve feet up and out of sight, so they only get attention once water is already coming over the top in a downpour.

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.

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.

What Affects the Price

We price honestly rather than by a flat call-out fee, so a smaller, easier property in Roker shouldn't cost the same as a larger, heavily overhung one.

Front gutters only	from around £50
Two-storey house	typically £70–£120
One-off / overdue clean	typically £80–£150

The Vacuum System

We use a high-powered, ground-operated vacuum unit built specifically for gutter clearance, drawing debris up through a lightweight carbon-composite pole rather than requiring anyone to be at height.
The suction is strong enough to lift wet silt and compacted leaf mulch, not just dry debris, which is the difference between a genuinely clear gutter and one that just looks tidy from below.
