Gutter
Cleaning
Careful, professional gutter clearance for homes, period properties and commercial buildings across Plymouth and the South Hams. Using specialist high-reach equipment, we remove built-up leaves, moss and debris to help keep rainwater flowing properly and protect your property from avoidable damage.
PROTECT & MAINTAIN
Keeping your roofline clean, clear & in good condition
Blocked gutters can allow rainwater to overflow, soak into brickwork, damage render and cause avoidable problems around the roofline. Regular professional cleaning helps keep rainwater moving properly and protects the property from unnecessary wear.
Using specialist high-reach gutter vacuum equipment, we remove leaves, moss, silt and general debris from gutters, outlets and accessible roofline areas.
Where required, the service can also include the cleaning of fascias, soffits and uPVC surfaces to remove grime, algae and weathering, leaving the exterior looking fresher and better maintained.
Gutter cleaning can include:
- High-reach gutter clearance
- Removal of leaves, moss and debris
- Clearing of gutter outlets
- Accessible downpipe checks
- Conservatory roof gutter cleaning
- Fascia board cleaning
- Soffit board cleaning
- uPVC cladding and trim cleaning
- Removal of algae, grime and staining
- Regular or one-off maintenance visits
Every roofline is different, so we assess the property, access and condition of the gutters before deciding how best to proceed.
Using high-reach gutter vacuum equipment, we clear leaves, moss, silt and built-up debris from the ground wherever possible. This allows us to work safely and efficiently on taller properties, awkward elevations and sensitive areas where unnecessary ladder work is best avoided.
Where appropriate, the same visit can also include cleaning fascias, soffits, downpipes and uPVC trims, helping the whole roofline look fresher and remain better maintained.

GUTTER CLEANING & QUESTIONS
Questions we’re often asked...
A few simple answers about gutter cleaning, roofline care and what is needed before we visit.
Do I need to be at home for gutter cleaning?
Not usually. As long as we can access the areas being cleaned, gutter clearance can often be carried out without anyone needing to be at home.
The gutter vacuum system does need access to a power socket. An external power point is ideal, although an extension lead from an internal socket is usually all that is needed.
How do you clean fascias, soffits and uPVC?
Fascia, soffit and uPVC cleaning needs more than a quick rinse. Water, soap or mild detergent alone can make the surface look better briefly, but algae, moss and organic growth may return again very quickly.
Where appropriate, we use a careful combination of suitable surface cleaner and biocidal treatment to clean the uPVC and help treat the organic growth at its source. The area is then rinsed thoroughly with purified water for a cleaner, fresher finish.
This is a more thorough clean, not a quick "splash-and-dash wash". The aim is to leave the roofline properly cleaned and better maintained for longer.
Do you remove gutter debris by hand?
In most cases, no. We use a powerful industrial cyclonic gutter vacuum system designed to remove wet and dry debris from gutters safely and efficiently.
This allows us to clear leaves, moss, silt and built-up debris from the ground wherever possible, reducing the need for ladders around your property.
There are times, however, when downpipes, gutter hoppers or awkward blockages need closer checking. Plant growth and compacted debris can sometimes prevent water from running freely into the gutter or drain, and these areas may need more direct attention.
Need a gutter or roofline clean for your home?
Whether you need blocked gutters cleared, a regular maintenance visit, or fascias, soffits and uPVC cleaned as part of a wider roofline service, we would be pleased to discuss what your property needs.
