About Cleaning Gutters
Cleaning Gutters is a free way for homeowners, landlords and small property managers to get prices for clearing, protecting or fixing gutters and downpipes. Instead of searching for local firms and leaving voicemails, you describe the job once and we pass it to independent gutter specialists that cover your area.
We handle enquiries for routine gutter cleaning, emergency clearing of blocked and overflowing gutters, gutter guard installation, downpipe unblocking and repairs, gutter repairs and the small but stubborn job of fixing leaking joints. You can use it wherever you live in the UK, from Cornwall to the Highlands and across Northern Ireland.
Why Gutters Needed Their Own Service
Gutter cleaning is one of those jobs that is easy to put off and awkward to arrange. Few people own a ladder long enough to reach a two-storey gutter safely, and even fewer want to stand at the top of one in November scooping out wet leaves. At the same time, the market is a mix of dedicated gutter cleaning firms, window cleaners who offer gutters as a sideline and roofline companies that prefer repair and replacement work, and their prices vary a lot.
Comparing a few local quotes is the simplest way to see what the job should cost where you live and to understand what each company actually does on the day. We wanted to make that easier: one enquiry, a handful of replies and a clearer picture.
What Happens After You Enquire
- Describe the job. Give your postcode, the type of property and what the gutters are doing.
- We match it locally. A maximum of four gutter businesses covering your postcode can be sent the request.
- Companies call or message you. Companies may ask for photos, check the property on a street view or arrange a quick look.
- You decide. Compare the prices and choose whether to go ahead. There is no obligation.
How many companies respond depends on local availability and the size of the job. Rural postcodes and very small one-off jobs may attract fewer replies than a full clean in a large town.
Who Will Contact You
Firms that sign up give us their business details, the gutter services they offer, the postcodes they cover and their insurance details and references, and accept our terms for receiving referrals. In return we ask that they are upfront about how they will reach your gutters and exactly what their price covers.
We do not inspect work or guarantee any company, so a few checks of your own are worthwhile. Ask to see public liability insurance, ask how the gutters will be accessed and whether that involves ladders, a tower or a gutter vacuum from the ground, and ask whether you will receive photos of the gutters once they are clear. For repairs, ask what materials will be used to match your existing system.
What Makes Gutter Quotes Hard to Compare
Two prices for "cleaning the gutters" can describe quite different visits. One company may vacuum the front and back gutters and leave; another may also clear the garage and porch, test every downpipe and send camera photos of each run. Some prices include taking the debris away; others leave it bagged for your garden waste bin.
When you compare quotes, ask exactly which gutters are covered, whether downpipes are included and how any repairs found on the day will be priced. A slightly higher quote that covers the whole roofline and proves the result is often better value than the cheapest headline figure.
Who Pays for the Service
You never pay to use our quote request service. The cost is covered by the gutter businesses that receive requests. Which companies hear about your job depends only on the type of work, your postcode and who has availability.
Whether it is a yearly clean before winter, an overflowing corner that needs clearing this week or guards to stop the problem coming back, the aim is the same: a few local gutter specialists in touch with you quickly.
