Gutter Cleaning FAQs

Gutters are designed to direct rainwater away from your roof, walls, and foundations. When gutters become blocked with leaves, dirt, and debris, water overflows and can cause:

• Roof and eave damage

• Internal leaks and mould

• Wall and foundation deterioration

• Pest infestations

• Increased fire risk in dry conditions

Regular gutter cleaning helps prevent these issues and protects the long-term condition of your property.

For most properties, gutters should be cleaned at least once or twice a year.
You may need more frequent cleaning if:

• Your property is near trees

• You experience heavy leaf fall

• After major storms or high winds

Commercial and industrial buildings often require scheduled maintenance plans to ensure compliance and prevent disruption.

Blocked gutters can lead to serious and costly damage, including:

• Water backing up under roof materials

• Rotting fascia boards and timber

• Water entering wall cavities and ceilings

• Cracking or erosion around foundations

Many of these issues are hidden until significant damage has already occurred.

Gutter cleaning involves working at heights, which can be dangerous without the correct equipment and training. Falls from ladders are a common cause of serious injury during home maintenance tasks.

Using a professional gutter cleaning service significantly reduces risk, as trained technicians use proper access equipment, safety procedures, and insurance coverage.

Gutter guards can help reduce large debris, but they do not eliminate the need for gutter cleaning. Fine debris, dirt, and organic matter can still accumulate and cause blockages over time.

Regular inspection and maintenance are still recommended.
