Gutter Cleaning London
We clear gutters and downpipes for homeowners, landlords, building managers and businesses across London. Our gutter vacuum removes leaves, moss and compacted silt from the channel, and we check the outlets where blockages often start. If we find a loose bracket, a leaking joint or a section that needs further work, we explain what we’ve found and discuss your options. To get a quote, send us your postcode, the number of storeys and a brief note about access to the front and rear.

Can you clean my gutters in London?
We cover Greater London and areas around the M25. Tell us the property postcode and which parts of the roofline need clearing. If the rear is reached through a shared passage, a neighbouring property or a locked gate, mention that when you get in touch.
Can you clear a blocked downpipe too?
Yes. We check the outlet where the gutter meets the downpipe and clear obstructions we can reach. Let us know if the pipe is overflowing at the top or if water pools at the bottom. That helps us identify which part of the run to check first.
What our gutter cleaning service includes
We clear the length of the gutter, paying particular attention to corners, joints and outlets. Loose leaves often sit on top of a heavier layer of wet moss and silt. We remove the build-up with gutter vacuum equipment and check the downpipe openings where access allows.
If we see a crack or a section pulling away from the fascia, we’ll point it out and explain whether guttering repairs may be needed. Tell us if there’s a spot that only leaks during heavy rain, so we know where to look.

Gutter cleaning for different London properties
Terraced houses
Front and rear gutters may need different access. Tell us if there’s a rear extension, a shared passage or no side access at all.
Semi-detached houses
We check where the downpipe sits and which gutter runs are shared. Let us know if a gate or fence limits access to the side.
Detached houses
There may be several separate runs at different heights. Point out any porch, garage or lower roof you’d like us to include in the quote.
Flats and managed properties
Give us the managing agent or site contact and tell us who can unlock communal access. It helps to identify the block and the affected elevation.
Commercial premises
Tell us about service yards, public entrances and opening hours so we can discuss suitable access and timing.
How we clear blocked gutters
01
Check where we can set up
We look at the roofline and the space below it. An extension, a narrow passage or a parked vehicle can change where we can position the equipment.
02
Vacuum the gutter runs
We work along the channel, lifting loose leaves and drawing out heavier material around corners and joints. We pay close attention to the outlet, where debris tends to collect.
03
Clear the downpipe opening
We check for material lodged where the gutter feeds into the pipe. If water still isn’t getting away, we discuss whether the fault appears to be farther down or at the discharge point.
04
Explain anything that needs further work
Ask us about a camera check. We’ll discuss visible faults such as a slipped joint or sagging section and explain which work is separate from clearance.
The equipment we bring
A gutter vacuum and reach poles let us work from ground level where the roofline and access allow. The vacuum draws debris into its collection drum. An inspection camera can show what’s inside a gutter run that can’t be seen from below and help us check an awkward outlet.
Tell us about high parapets, rear additions, conservatories or narrow side returns before we visit. If a run needs a different access arrangement, we can discuss it when we quote.
Where rainwater gets held up
1. At the gutter edge
A build-up in the channel can send rainwater over the edge. If the gutter is clear and still overflows, a sagging run or damaged bracket may be involved.
2. At the outlet or joint
Leaves can compact around the outlet. A drip that starts at one seam may point to a leaking joint rather than a blockage.
3. At the foot of the downpipe
Water gathering around the wall can point to a restriction in the pipe or a problem at the discharge point. Tell us where you first notice it.
Gutter cleaning and repair at a glance
| Service | Work Included | When It Is Relevant |
|---|---|---|
| Gutter clearance | Vacuum leaves, moss and silt from accessible runs. | Debris is visible or water spills over during rain. |
| Downpipe clearing | Check the opening and remove reachable obstructions. | Water backs up around the outlet or fails to reach the discharge point. |
| Camera inspection | Inspect the channel and look for visible obstructions or defects where access allows. | You cannot see the run from below or want to see the affected section. |
| Guttering repairs | Assess a leaking joint, loose bracket or damaged section and discuss repair. | Water still escapes after clearance or a run has visibly moved. |
| Lining or replacement | Discuss renewing the waterproof surface or replacing sections where appropriate. | The existing gutter has deteriorated beyond a straightforward repair. |
Guttering and property maintenance
Gutter Cleaning
Clear debris from roofline gutters and check outlets that may be restricting the flow.
Gutter Lining
Discuss a waterproof lining when the existing gutter can be retained but its surface has deteriorated.
Gutter Replacement
Replace guttering where wear or damage makes further repairs impractical.
Guttering Repairs
Investigate leaking connections, damaged sections and loose supports.
Ivy Removal
Remove ivy where growth has reached guttering, walls or the roofline and is affecting access or maintenance.
Water Damage Repair
Discuss repair work when water has already damaged the property. Tell us where it entered and which surfaces are affected.
Residential and commercial work
At homes and rented properties
For residential gutter cleaning, we work at owner-occupied homes, rented houses and managed buildings. A tenant or caretaker can help identify where the gutter has been overflowing and which entrances we can use. For multi-storey properties, tell us which floors and elevations are involved so we can discuss access before the visit.
At shops, offices and other premises
For commercial gutter cleaning, let us know about busy entrances, delivery routes and any restrictions on where equipment can stand. If your site has more than one unit or a shared service yard, specify the building and give us a site contact. We can also discuss scheduled maintenance if you manage several premises.

Frequently asked questions
What should I include in a quote request?
Give us the postcode, property type and number of storeys. Tell us which runs need clearing and whether there’s a garage, extension or conservatory below them. If you can take a photo safely from ground level, include it with your enquiry.
Do I need to be at the property?
Tell us if you will be away when you book. We’ll discuss how to reach the front and rear, who can open any locked gates and how to contact you if the job uncovers a fault.
Can you reach a gutter above a conservatory?
It depends on the height and the available working space. Send a photo from ground level or describe the extension and where the downpipe sits. We’ll discuss the access before confirming the work.
Can you inspect a gutter without clearing it first?
Ask about a camera inspection when you book. A camera can show the condition of the run where we can reach it, although a thick layer of debris may conceal a damaged joint or section.
Does cleaning fix a gutter that drips at one joint?
A blockage can cause water to spill at a joint, but a damaged seal or slipped connection can also leak. If we see a fault during the visit, we’ll explain what we found and discuss repair separately.
Can you arrange repeat visits for a managed block?
We can discuss scheduled maintenance. Tell us how many buildings are involved, what happened on previous visits and who handles access. For leafy streets or tall trees near the building, tell us when you typically see debris build up.
What if water is already getting inside?
Tell us where the damp or staining has appeared and when you first noticed it. We can discuss guttering faults and water damage repair as separate work, depending on what is affected.
Arrange a gutter cleaning visit
Send your postcode and a short description of the property, or call us to talk through the blockage. If it’s a managed or commercial building, include a site contact and any access restrictions so we can discuss the right approach.
