Why Blocked Gutters Are a Bigger Problem Than You Think
It's easy to ignore gutters. They're out of sight, and a bit of leaf build-up doesn't seem urgent. But blocked gutters cause real damage that costs far more than a clean.
Water Overflows Down Your Walls
When gutters can't drain, water spills over the edge and runs down your brickwork. Over time, this soaks into the mortar, causes damp on internal walls, and can even affect your foundations. A £65 gutter clean prevents hundreds of pounds in damp repairs.
Fascia and Soffit Rot
Standing water in blocked gutters sits against your fascia boards. Timber fascias absorb this moisture and rot from the inside out. By the time you notice, the damage is done and you're looking at a roofline replacement rather than a simple clean.
Ice Damage in Winter
Blocked gutters hold water that freezes in cold weather. Ice expands and cracks gutter joints, splits downpipes, and can lever brackets off the fascia. A clean before winter prevents expensive repairs in spring.
Pest Problems
Debris-filled gutters are attractive nesting sites for birds, and the damp conditions attract insects. Plants and moss can take root in the build-up, further blocking drainage and adding weight to already strained gutters
Foundation Risk
Water that should be channelled away from your property through the gutters and downpipes instead saturates the ground right next to your walls. Over time, this can affect foundations and cause subsidence in severe cases.
What can be Included in our gutter cleaning service?
Every gutter clean includes more than just clearing out leaves. Because we're qualified roofers — not a general handyman or pressure washing company — we know what to look for while we're up at your roofline.
Full Gutter Clear-Out
We remove all leaves, moss, silt, and debris by hand from every gutter run around your property. Everything comes down with us — nothing gets washed onto your driveway or garden.
Downpipe Flush and Check
We flush every downpipe to make sure it's running freely. If there's a blockage, we clear it. Blocked downpipes are one of the most common causes of overflowing gutters, even when the gutters themselves look clean.
Gutter Joint and Bracket Check
While clearing, we check every joint and bracket. We'll let you know if any joints are leaking or brackets are failing — small problems that are cheap to fix now but expensive to ignore.
Free Roofline Health Check
This is something you won't get from a general gutter cleaning company. As experienced roofers, we're trained to spot early signs of roofline problems — cracking mortar, slipped tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating fascias. If we notice anything, we'll let you know and give you honest advice. No pressure, no hard sell. Most of the time, everything's fine and you get peace of mind.
Before and After Photos
We take photos of your gutters before and after cleaning so you can see what we've cleared and the condition of your roofline. Useful for your records and reassurance that the job's been done properly.
Clean-Up
All debris is bagged and removed. We leave your property as clean as we found it.

Why Book a Roofer for Gutter Cleaning?
There are plenty of people offering gutter cleaning. Window cleaners, pressure washers, handymen with a vacuum attachment. So why use a qualified roofer?
We Know What We're Looking At
When we're up at your gutters, we can see your roof, your flashing, your fascias, and your chimney. A window cleaner clears the leaves and leaves. A roofer spots the slipped tile that's going to cause a leak next winter, the flashing that's lifted, or the fascia board that's starting to soften. That early warning can save you thousands.
We Can Fix Problems on the Spot
If we find a loose bracket, a leaking joint, or a minor issue, we can often fix it there and then for a small additional cost — with your agreement. No need to book a separate visit.
Proper Insurance
We carry £2M public liability insurance. If anything goes wrong (which is extremely rare), you're covered. Not all gutter cleaners carry adequate insurance for working at height.
We're Here Long-Term
We're not a one-visit, cash-in-hand outfit. City Roofing Repairs is an established local business. We want you to call us again next year, and the year after. That means doing the job properly and treating you right.
When Should You Get Your Gutters Cleaned?
Autumn (October–November)
The most important clean of the year. After the leaves have fallen, your gutters will be full. Clearing them before winter prevents ice damage and ensures water drains properly through the wettest months.
Spring (March–April)
A second clean clears any remaining winter debris, moss growth, and silt that's accumulated over the wet months. This keeps everything flowing ahead of summer storms.
After a Storm
High winds can deposit leaves, twigs, and broken tiles into gutters. If you've had a particularly bad storm, a quick gutter check is worthwhile.
Our Recommendation
For most properties, one good clean in late autumn is sufficient. Properties surrounded by trees or in heavily wooded areas benefit from twice-yearly cleaning. We'll advise based on your property when we visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
The only accurate way to get an idea of costs is to have us inspect the work required and put together a free quote.
How long does gutter cleaning take?
Around 1–2 hours for a standard property. Larger properties or very blocked gutters may take a little longer. We'll let you know when we book.
Do I need to be home?
Not necessarily. If all gutters are accessible from the outside and we can reach everything we need, you don't need to be in. We'll send you the before and after photos and let you know how it went. Payment can be made by bank transfer.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
At least once a year, ideally in late autumn after the leaves have fallen. Properties near trees may benefit from twice-yearly cleaning (autumn and spring). We'll advise based on your situation.
What if you find a problem with my gutters or roof?
We'll tell you about it honestly and explain what it means. If it's minor (a loose bracket or leaking joint), we can often fix it on the spot for a small additional cost with your agreement. For larger issues, we'll explain your options and provide a separate quote. There's never any pressure — we just want you to know.
Will you make a mess?
No. We remove all debris by hand and bag it up. We don't push sludge down your downpipes (which can cause blockages lower down). We don't leave piles of leaves on your lawn. Your property will be clean when we leave.
Do you fit gutter guards?
Yes. We can fit mesh gutter guards that prevent leaves entering while allowing water to flow through. These reduce the frequency of cleaning needed, though gutters still benefit from an occasional check. We'll quote for guards if you're interested.
Can you clean conservatory gutters?
Yes, conservatory gutters are an optional extra from £25. We clean them carefully without damaging the conservatory roof.
What if my gutters are damaged beyond cleaning?
If your gutters need replacing rather than just cleaning, we'll let you know and provide a separate quote for gutter replacement. We carry out all types of gutter work, so there's no need to find another contractor.
Is gutter cleaning really worth it?
A £65–£130 gutter clean prevents damp damage, fascia rot, and foundation issues that can cost hundreds or thousands to repair. It's one of the simplest and most cost-effective things you can do to protect your home. And with our free roofline health check included, you get a professional set of eyes on your roof too.
