Gutter cleaning and clearing in Guildford
Gutter cleaning in Guildford is the job we are asked for more than any other after window cleaning. Leaves, moss and silt block the gutter, water spills over the edge, and the first sign is usually a damp patch on a wall. We clear it from the ground, agree the price first, and you never pay in advance.
We do two things, and we quote them separately or together. Gutter clearing is getting the debris out of the gutter and the downpipe so water runs again. That is the job most people ring about, usually in late autumn once the leaves are down or after the first heavy rain shows where the overflow is. Gutter cleaning is washing the outside of the gutter, fascia and soffit so the uPVC is white again instead of grey and green. Plenty of customers have the clear every year and the clean every two or three.
What comes out of a gutter depends on what is above it. Houses under oaks and beeches fill with leaves. Houses with a mossy roof fill with the moss that slides off it every winter, which packs down into a silt that holds water. Conservatory and extension gutters sit under the main roof and catch everything that comes off it, so they block first and often go unnoticed because you cannot see into them from the ground.
Most houses are done from the ground with poles, so nothing leans on your wall or your gutters. Conservatory gutters, extensions and high-level runs on larger buildings are cleared by hand from a powered platform, with a risk assessment before we start. Either way the price is fixed before we start, we take the debris away with us, and you pay once the job is done and you are happy with it. If a blockage needs a second visit, that visit is part of the price.
Signs your gutters need clearing
Gutters block slowly and fail suddenly. Any of these means water is going where it should not, and the fix is cheaper now than after the damp sets in.

How we clean gutters
The same four steps on every job, whether it is a semi in Park Barn or an office block with gutters at 40 ft.
Step 1: Look first, then quote
Send a photo or let Patrick call round. He agrees a fixed price for the clear, and for cleaning the outside if you want it. That price is the price you pay.
Step 2: Clear from the ground
Poles reach the gutters on most houses without a ladder against your wall. Leaves, moss and silt come out of the run, then the outlet, then the downpipe.
Step 3: Platform for high-level runs
Office blocks, flats and awkward roofs are done by hand from a powered platform, with a risk assessment before we start and a 100% safety record behind it.
Step 4: Check, tidy, text
We check water runs away, bag the debris and take it with us. Regular customers get a text the day before each visit so the gates are open.

Why Guildford homeowners book us for their gutters
The reviews say the same things. Turned up when they said, the price did not move, and the job got finished properly.
Fixed price, never paid in advance. Patrick agrees the price before we start. One reviewer's blocked downpipe needed a second visit; it was finished at the price agreed, with nothing added.
No ladders against your wall. Poles do most houses from the ground. Where height means a platform, there is a risk assessment first and £5m public liability behind the team.
Free re-clean within three days. If water still is not draining or something was missed, tell us within three days and we come back free of charge. That has been the guarantee since 2007.

5/5 · Gutter clearing and window cleaning
“Patrick began by clearing my blocked gutters. It was a complicated job needing a second visit. We had agreed a price and he did not charge extra for the second visit to unblock the mouth of the down-pipe. He is now my regular window cleaner.”

Common questions about gutter cleaning and clearing
Cost, how often, ladders and what counts as a clear.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Guildford?
It depends on the size of the house, how many gutters there are, how blocked they are and whether you want the outside washed as well as cleared. Send a photo of the house and Patrick will give you a fixed price. That price does not change on the day, and you pay once the job is done.
How often should gutters be cleared?
Once a year is enough for most houses, after the leaves have come down in late autumn. Houses under trees, and conservatory gutters, often need a spring clear too. If you see water spilling over the edge in heavy rain, the gutter is already blocked.
Do you use ladders?
Rarely. Most gutters are reached from the ground with poles, so nothing leans on your wall or your gutters. High-level runs on larger buildings are done by hand from a powered platform, never from a ladder at height.
Can you clear a blocked downpipe?
Yes. The outlet and the top of the downpipe are cleared on every job. A pipe blocked lower down can take a second visit, and if we quoted for the clear that visit is included.
What is the difference between gutter clearing and gutter cleaning?
Clearing takes the debris out of the gutter so water runs. Cleaning washes the outside of the gutter, fascia and soffit so the plastic is white again. Most customers ask for a clear; the clean is an extra you can add.
