Why is professional gutter cleaning important?

Gutter cleaning service in a London property

Many gutter defects are caused by the accumulation of leaves, branches, moss, dirt, bird guano and other natural debris. If rainwater is not freely flowing through your gutters, it will start to overflow, causing damage of various kind to your property. Some of the issues that can arise from blocked gutters include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Leaking roof
  • Dampness inside your property
  • Mould growth on exterior and interior walls
  • Wood rot and rust on metal structural fixtures
  • Contained flooding in basements and cellars
  • Insect infestation

So, don’t wait for too long but book a professional inspection and gutter cleaning service with Fantastic Gardeners to avoid costly property damage in the future. You can combine this service with another one, such as patio cleaning or garden maintenance, for example. Depending on availability, we may be able to perform it on the same day.

What does the gutter cleaning process involve?

The experienced gutter cleaners use industry-grade telescopic gutter vacuum cleaning equipment, which is fitted with a camera and can reach up to 12 metres (2nd floor). The machine can remove vegetation, leaves, twigs, other debris, as well as insects’ nests. The cleaner can also unblock the above-ground downpipes for you. Note that the service comes with a no-blockage guarantee of one month for all cleaned gutters. Mind that if you have downpipes, the guarantee will only be valid, if you book us to clean them, too.

Here’s how it is all done:

  1. The gutter cleaning technicians will arrive at your property and set up their machine.
  2. They will inspect the gutters with the camera, which is designed to take before and after photos.
  3. Once the pros determine the level of blockage in the guttering system, they’ll proceed with the cleaning. The machine will suck all debris to ensure the unobstructed rainwater flow.
  4. When done, the specialists will attach the camera to the pole again to check the outcome. You’ll, of course, be presented with their before and after image recordings.

Note: The service cannot take place without access to electrical mains or if your rainwater drainage system is fitted with gutter guards. Also, please, ensure that the immediate area around your property is free of any obstructions.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is professional gutter cleaning worth it?
A: Yes, professional gutter cleaning is absolutely worth it, especially where autumn leaves and moss buildup are common. Regular cleaning helps prevent costly property damage caused by overflowing water, such as damp walls, mould, rotten fascia boards, and even foundation issues.
Q: How much does a gutter cleaning service cost?
A: The cost of gutter cleaning is based on the size and type of your property. You can get an instant quote by completing the online booking form.
Q: How often should gutters be cleared (in the UK)?
A: In the UK, it’s recommended to have your gutters professionally cleaned at least once or twice a year, typically in late autumn and again in early spring. This timing helps remove fallen leaves, moss, and debris before they cause blockages that can lead to damp issues or structural damage. If your property is surrounded by trees or experiences frequent moss build-up, more frequent cleaning may be needed.
Q: What are the most common signs that indicate I need gutter cleaning?
A: Overflowing gutters are one of the most common signs. Also, in case there are any plants sprouting from them, make sure to proceed to getting rid of this unwanted vegetation.
Q: What kind of damage can clogged gutters cause?
A: Blocked gutters overflow when it’s raining. If you notice damp areas on the walls and ceiling in your attic, this is a telltale sign for possible obstructions in your rainwater drainage system. Furthermore, from the ground, you may spot vegetation growing or protruding from your gutters, which simply needs to be removed.
Q: How do professionals clean gutters?
A: Professional gutter cleaners use a high-reach telescopic vacuum system fitted with a camera to safely remove debris from ground level - up to the second floor (approximately 12 metres). The camera allows for before and after photos, ensuring thorough inspection and quality results. The vacuum sucks out leaves, moss, twigs, and even insect nests, clearing both the gutters and the above-ground downpipes. Our technicians arrive fully equipped and need only access to power and a clear space around the property to carry out the service efficiently and safely. This method avoids the risks associated with climbing ladders and ensures your gutters are left clean and free-flowing.
Q: Do you need scaffolding to clean gutters?
A: In most cases, scaffolding is not required to clean gutters, especially for properties up to the second floor. Our professional gutter cleaning is done safely from the ground using telescopic vacuum equipment with a camera system that reaches up to 12 metres (second floor height), eliminating the need for ladders or scaffolding. For higher buildings or more complex cases, alternative arrangements may be considered, but for typical residential properties, our method is efficient, safe, and cost-effective.
Q: Do you clean all types of gutters?
A: Yes, the technicians clean all types of gutters, as long as they are not fitted with gutter guards. Note that we cannot service downpipes, which are below ground level.
Q: What is the most hygienic way of keeping gutters?
A: The most hygienic way to maintain your gutters is through regular professional cleaning - ideally once or twice a year. This prevents the buildup of organic debris like moss, leaves, and bird droppings, which can harbour bacteria, cause blockages, and attract pests.
Q: Do I need to provide anything for the service to take place?
A: The gutter cleaners need access to electricity in order to provide the service. Also, ensure that they can move and work freely around your property, which means that there are no obstacles and clutter on the ground.
Q: Can I book a gutter cleaning service on a weekend?
A: Yes, Fantastic Gardeners offers services 7 days a week, even on Bank Holiday Mondays and other public holidays.
Q: What is your coverage? Do you have a gutter cleaner near me?
A: We currently offer gutter cleaning services in London, Guildford, Oxford, Reading, Hemel Hempstead, Manchester, Liverpool and more. Please check our availability in your area by entering your postcode in our online booking form.
