Gutter cleaning in Cheltenham: protecting your home from the top down

Your gutters are the unsung heroes of your home, but are you giving them the attention they need?

It is easy to completely forget about your gutters. Tucked away at the edge of your roof, they perform a simple but absolutely vital job. They catch all the rainwater that lands on your roof and channel it safely away from your property. When they are clear, they work perfectly. But when they become blocked, that simple system breaks down, and that is when serious problems can begin. A blocked gutter is far more than a minor inconvenience. It is a ticking time bomb that can lead to surprisingly expensive damage to your home's walls, foundations, and even its internal structure.

Here in Cheltenham and the surrounding leafy areas, gutters fill up quickly. Leaves, moss falling from the roof, twigs, and silt all wash into the channels and form a dense, heavy blockage. This solid mass acts like a dam, preventing water from flowing to the downpipe. The water has to go somewhere, and it will usually spill over the side, running constantly down your brickwork. This can lead to penetrating damp, damaged mortar, and unsightly green staining. In winter, the waterlogged debris in your gutters can freeze, expand, and even crack the plastic, leading to costly repairs. Our professional gutter cleaning service is a simple, safe, and affordable way to prevent all these issues, ensuring your home is fully protected from the top down.

The hidden dangers of cleaning your own gutters

We understand the temptation to get a ladder out and tackle the job yourself. It seems straightforward enough. However, working at height on a ladder is one of the most common causes of serious accidents around the home. The ground is often uneven, you have to constantly overreach to scoop out the debris, and a simple loss of balance can have severe consequences. It is a risk that is simply not worth taking for a routine maintenance job.

Beyond the personal safety risk, there is also the potential to damage your property. Leaning a ladder against your gutters can easily cause them to crack or bend. The mess created by scooping out wet, sloppy debris and dropping it onto the ground below can leave your paths and patios in a terrible state. It is a dirty, difficult, and dangerous job that is always best left to a team with the right equipment and training.

Our modern, safe, and mess free cleaning solution

We use a modern, ground based gutter vacuum system that completely eliminates the need for ladders. This technology makes the entire process safer for us and for your property, while delivering a better, more thorough result. Our system consists of super lightweight, carbon fibre poles that can easily reach up to four storeys high. A powerful, industrial grade wet and dry vacuum on the ground creates immense suction through these poles, allowing us to clear out every last bit of debris from your gutters.

This method has clear advantages:

It is much safer. By working from the safety of the ground, we remove all the risks associated with ladders. There is nothing leaning against your walls, fascias, or the gutters themselves, so there is no chance of causing any damage.
We can reach difficult areas. The lightweight poles allow us to easily reach the gutters over awkward spaces like conservatories, extensions, and garages, areas that are often impossible to get to with a ladder.
There is absolutely no mess. This is a huge benefit for our customers. All the leaves, moss, and sloppy silt is sucked directly from the gutter into the sealed drum of our vacuum. We do not flush it out with water or drop it onto your garden, leaving your property just as tidy as we found it.
We can provide proof of our work. For complete peace of mind, we can use a camera system on the end of our poles. This allows us to show you a before and after view from inside your gutters, so you can see for yourself that the job has been done properly.

Questions and answers

Your gutter cleaning questions answered

Here are the answers to some common questions we get about our gutter clearing service.

For most properties in this area, we recommend having your gutters cleared once a year, usually in the late autumn after the majority of the leaves have fallen. If your home is directly surrounded by a lot of tall trees, you may benefit from a second check in the spring.
Yes, absolutely. Clearing the downpipes is a standard part of our service. We ensure that the entire system is clear and flowing freely from the gutter right down to the drain. If we find a blockage, we have the tools to unblock it for you.
We can. The gutter vacuum system is designed for clearing the inside of the gutters. The external cleaning of the gutters, fascias, and soffits is a separate service we offer, often called uPVC cleaning, which we can happily provide a quote for.
This is a very common sight and it is a clear sign that your gutters are blocked and holding onto a lot of soil and silt. Our powerful vacuum system is more than capable of removing these plants and the dense root systems they have formed inside the gutter channel.

Our pricing is very straightforward and is based on the size of your property, for example, a two bedroom terraced house or a four bedroom detached house. We provide a fixed price quote so you know the full cost before we start, with no hidden charges.
No, you do not need to be present. As long as we have access around the full perimeter of your property, we can complete the entire job while you are out. We will simply post a note through your door to let you know we have finished.
Our gutter vacuum system is powered by its own generator, so we are completely self sufficient. We do not need to plug anything into your home's electricity supply.
We try to make payment as simple as possible. After the work is completed, we will send you an invoice with the details for a simple online bank transfer. We also accept cash or cheque on the day if you prefer.
