The Modern Way to Clean Gutters
A ground-based gutter vacuum with a pole camera is now the usual method for houses in Sullom Voe, so the gutters are cleared without ladders leaning on them. You can see the debris coming out on the screen and get photos afterwards. Each outlet is then tested with water to check the downpipe is clear.
Ask whether the visit includes small rooflines such as porches and garages as well as the main roof. An outlet check after debris removal helps reveal a blockage further down the downpipe.

How do I get gutter cleaning quotes in Sullom Voe?
Send one enquiry with your postcode, the type of property and how many storeys it has. We can pass it to up to four gutter cleaning companies covering Sullom Voe.
Will the gutter cleaner need to come inside?
No. Gutter cleaning is done entirely from outside, so as long as the company can reach the back of the property through a side gate, you do not need to let anyone in.
Can my conservatory gutter be cleaned at the same time?
Yes. Most companies can clean conservatory, porch and garage gutters on the same visit. Mention them in your enquiry so they are included in the price.
Is a gutter vacuum as good as cleaning by hand?
For most homes, yes. A vacuum removes leaves and silt effectively, and the camera shows the result. Very hard, compacted debris is sometimes finished by hand.
