Gutter Cleaning

Your guttering system plays a vital role in protecting your property from water damage. When gutters become blocked with leaves, moss, and debris, water can overflow, potentially causing serious and expensive damage to your property's walls, foundations, and landscaping.

At We Wash Exteriors, we provide a comprehensive gutter cleaning service using professional equipment and techniques to ensure your guttering system functions perfectly year-round.

Ground-Based Vacuum System

We use a powerful vacuum system that allows us to clean gutters safely and effectively from the ground, eliminating the need for ladders against your property.

Camera Inspection

Our service includes a live camera feed that lets you see exactly what's in your gutters before and after cleaning, so you can verify the quality of our work.

Complete System Clearance

We don't just remove visible debris – we clear your entire gutter system including downpipes and bends to ensure proper water flow throughout.

Water Flow Testing

After cleaning, we perform a water flow test to ensure there are no leaks or blockages remaining in the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should gutters be cleaned?

We recommend having your gutters cleaned at least once a year, typically in autumn after leaves have fallen. Properties with many surrounding trees may require cleaning twice yearly.

Can blocked gutters cause serious damage?

Yes, blocked gutters can cause significant and costly damage. Overflowing water can damage fascias, soffits, brickwork, foundations, and can lead to damp issues inside your property.

Will you need to use ladders on my property?

Our ground-based vacuum system allows us to clean most standard residential gutters without ladders. For higher or more complex buildings, we use appropriate access equipment with all safety precautions in place.

Can you clean gutters on a three-storey house?

Yes, our specialised equipment allows us to reach gutters up to 30ft high from the ground. This includes most three-storey properties and buildings with conservatories or extensions.

Will you show me what you've removed from my gutters?

Yes, our camera system allows you to see the condition of your gutters both before and after cleaning, and we can show you the debris removed if you wish.

Do you repair damaged gutters?

While our primary service is cleaning, we can identify and advise on gutter repairs. For minor issues such as leaking joints, we can often resolve these during the cleaning visit.
