Why Blocked Gutters Cost You Money
A gutter full of leaves, moss and silt doesn't drain — it overflows. The water sheets down your brickwork instead of into the drain, and within a season you've got green-stained walls, damp patches inside, rotten window frames and frost-damaged pointing. The fix at that point costs hundreds or thousands. The gutter clean that would have prevented it costs a fraction of that.
What a Proper Gutter Clean Includes
- All gutters cleared by hand and scoop — not just the bits reachable from a ladder footing
- Downpipes flush-tested with water so we know the whole run actually drains
- Brackets, joints and falls checked while we're up there
- Before-and-after photos sent to you, so you can see exactly what you paid for
- Any damage flagged and quoted separately — no pressure, no surprise add-ons
The Gutters You Can't See From the Street
Half of Tower Hamlets drains through parapet and valley gutters hidden behind brick parapets — standard on Victorian terraces across E1, E2 and E3. These block silently and show up as a mystery ceiling stain rather than a visible overflow. We check and clear them as part of the job; if yours has already let water in, see our roof leak repairs.
When to Book
Late autumn, after the leaves are down, is the single best time — it clears the system before winter storms. Spring is the sensible second visit for homes under big trees. If you can hear dripping inside the gutter when it rains, or plants are growing out of it, it's overdue.
What It Costs
Gutter cleaning is priced simply: as a rough guide, a standard two-storey terrace clean is a modest fixed price, with parapet gutters and larger or taller properties quoted on a quick look. Ask for the current rate when you call — and if you combine it with a roof check or moss removal, we share the access cost and you save.
Landlords, Agents & Blocks
We run scheduled gutter-clearing rounds for landlords, letting agents and residents' management companies — every property photographed, one invoice, no chasing. It's the cheapest insurance a rental portfolio can buy.
