Gutter Cleaning in London — Professional Results, Fair Prices
Professional gutter cleaning in London starts from around £70–£90 for a standard terraced house. We clear all debris, flush gutters and downpipes, and can provide CCTV inspection footage so you can see the results. Most jobs take 1–2 hours using safe, ground-level vacuum systems — no ladders against your walls.
Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning
- Water overflowing during rain
- Visible plant growth or moss in the gutters
- Gutters sagging or pulling away from the fascia
- Damp patches or water staining on exterior walls
- Birds nesting — pigeons and starlings are common in London
What We Clean
| Component | What's Involved |
|---|---|
| Gutters | Full clearance of leaves, moss, silt, bird nests and debris |
| Downpipes | Unblocking and flushing to ensure clear flow |
| Fascias | External face cleaning (uPVC, painted wood) using a water-fed pole |

| Outlets & Joints | Checking seals, flow and drainage |
We clean all gutter materials including uPVC, cast iron, aluminium and pressed steel — and take extra care with heritage cast iron fittings.
Our Process
1. Inspection
Visual check from ground level, with CCTV camera inspection if a blockage location is unclear.
2. Vacuum Clearance
Powerful suction from ground level — no ladder needed, reaching up to 3–4 storeys.
3. Manual Clearing
For stubborn blockages the vacuum can't shift alone.
4. Downpipe Flush
Confirms clear drainage through to ground level.
5. Fascia & Soffit Clean
If included in your service.
6. Proof of Work
CCTV footage provided showing before and after results.
Safe, Ground-Level Cleaning
We use ground-level vacuum systems rather than ladders against your gutters. This means no risk of ladders damaging the guttering, no fall risk, full compliance with Working at Height Regulations, and a faster job than traditional ladder-based cleaning.
Gutter Guards & Leaf Protection
If your gutters block repeatedly, we can fit gutter guards that prevent leaves and debris from entering while allowing water to flow freely. This reduces cleaning frequency from annual to every 2–3 years.
