Gutter Cleaning in West Heath

Gutters are cleared with a high-reach vacuum worked entirely from the ground. A camera sits on the end of the pole, so we can see what is actually in the run before we start and show you the footage once we have finished, which is useful when the blockage turns out to be a nest, a tennis ball or decades of compacted silt rather than simple leaf mulch. Fascias, soffits and downpipes are washed down at the same time, and the debris goes into the machine instead of over your borders and windows.

Leaf load is the whole story in West Heath. The older streets were planted with limes, sycamores and horse chestnuts when they were first laid out, and those trees are now at full height and dropping into gutters that were never sized for them. The layout adds to it: pairs of semis share one continuous run across the party wall, the estate rows carry a single run across four or six houses, and there are hidden lengths tucked behind rendered gables and over porch canopies that nobody can see from the pavement. One blocked outlet can back up over three neighbours before anyone notices the staining down the brickwork.

Once a year is enough for most houses here, and late autumn, after the leaves have finished dropping, is the sensible slot. Anything sitting directly under a large tree usually does better with a second visit in spring. A typical job takes about an hour: we set up on the drive or path, clear each run in turn, check the downpipes are flowing, and send the before and after footage over. Tell us the property type and roughly where it sits and we will price it.
