Why Choose Professional Service
Safety, expertise, and peace of mind
Safety Matters
Gutter cleaning involves working at height with ladders. Falls are a leading cause of serious home accidents. We have professional equipment, training, and insurance to work safely at any height.
Proper Equipment
We use specialized gutter cleaning tools, stable professional ladders, and debris collection systems. DIY attempts with improvised equipment rarely achieve thorough results and risk damage.
Problem Identification
While cleaning, we inspect for leaks, loose brackets, joint failures, and structural issues. Early detection prevents major problems. DIY cleaners often miss these warning signs.
Thorough Cleaning
Professional cleaning means complete debris removal, downpipe flushing, and flow testing. We ensure gutters actually work, not just look clean from the ground.
Time Efficiency
What takes homeowners half a day of dangerous ladder work, we complete safely in a couple of hours with professional efficiency and no risk to you.
Fully Insured
Comprehensive insurance covers our work, your property, and any unforeseen issues. DIY accidents and damage aren't covered by home insurance in many cases.

Everything you need to know about gutter cleaning
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Most Reading properties need gutter cleaning once or twice yearly. Properties with overhanging trees should be cleaned twice annually (spring and autumn). Properties without nearby trees can often manage with annual autumn cleaning after leaf fall.
How long does gutter cleaning take?
A typical 2-3 bedroom house takes 1-2 hours depending on gutter length and blockage severity. Larger properties or heavily blocked systems may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate when quoting.
Do I need to be home during cleaning?
No, as long as we have access to gutters from outside. We often work while homeowners are out. However, you're welcome to be present if you prefer to see the work completed.
What if you find damage while cleaning?
We inspect gutters while cleaning and report any issues found - leaks, loose brackets, sagging sections, or damage. We'll advise on necessary repairs and can provide quotes for fixing problems if needed.
Is gutter cleaning dangerous to do myself?
Yes. Ladder falls are a leading cause of serious home accidents. Working at height requires proper equipment, training, and safety awareness. Professional service eliminates this risk entirely for a modest cost.
What happens to the debris removed?
We collect and dispose of all gutter debris properly. Nothing is dropped on your garden or left for you to clean up. Your property is left tidy with all waste removed.
Can you clean conservatory gutters?
Yes, we clean conservatory guttering as part of our service. These often accumulate debris faster than house gutters and can be difficult to access for DIY cleaning.
Do you offer regular maintenance contracts?
Yes, we provide annual or bi-annual maintenance schedules. Regular customers receive priority booking and we handle scheduling automatically - you never need to remember to book.
