Gutter cleaning in Blackburn, Darwen and across Lancashire
Blocked gutters are the cheapest problem on a house to fix and one of the most expensive to ignore.
Moss off the roof, leaves, grit and the occasional nest all end up in the same place. Once a gutter is full the water goes over the edge instead of down the pipe and runs straight down the wall. Do that for a couple of winters and you get damp inside, perished pointing outside, and a repair bill many times the cost of clearing them.
Downpipes get checked as part of the job, because a clear gutter feeding a blocked downpipe overflows exactly the same as a blocked one. It is a common cause of a gutter that was "already done" still dripping down the wall.
Commercial work is covered too. Industrial guttering and box gutters on units hold far more debris than a house and cause a lot more damage when they back up, so they are worth doing on a schedule rather than waiting for a leak.
How the job runs
What actually happens on the day.
- 01
Have a look first
A check along the run so we both know what is actually in there and where the blockage is sitting before anything starts.
- 02
Clear the gutters
Leaves, moss and debris cleared out along the full run, not just the section by the downpipe where the overflow shows.
- 03
Unblock the downpipes
Flushed and checked, because a clear gutter running into a blocked downpipe overflows exactly the same as a blocked one.
- 04
Clear up and show you
Debris bagged and taken away rather than left in the borders, and photos sent over so you can see the job is actually done.

Straight answers
Gutter cleaning, answered.
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
It starts at £50. Price depends on the size of the property, how many downpipes there are and how bad the build-up has got. Quotes are free and there is no obligation.
How often should gutters be cleared?
Once a year for most houses, and autumn is the sensible time once the leaves are down. With trees overhanging or a lot of moss on the roof, twice a year is more realistic.
Do you do commercial gutters?
Yes, domestic and commercial. Industrial guttering and box gutters on units hold a lot more debris than a house and do a lot more damage when they back up, so they are worth putting on a regular schedule.
How do I know they were actually cleared?
You get photos. Gutters are the one job on a house you genuinely cannot check yourself from the ground, so showing you is the only way to prove it was done.
Also worth doing while we are there
