What you get

Gutter cleaning & downpipes in London: what the price includes

  • 01
    Cleared and flushed

    Gutters emptied, downpipes rodded or flushed to the gully, gully grid cleared while we're there.

  • 02
    Alignment and joints

    Sagging brackets and weeping unions fixed, a clean gutter that still overflows was never just dirty.

  • 03
    Downpipe blockages

    The blockage is at the top bend or the shoe nine times out of ten; both reachable, both quick.

  • 04
    Before-and-after photos

    Roofline work you can't see gets photographed, you shouldn't pay for what you can't verify.

  • 05
    Reached safely, and from the right equipment

    Most domestic guttering is done from a pole-mounted vacuum with a camera on the end, so nobody is on a ladder over your flowerbed. Where access genuinely requires a tower or a roof anchor we say so and price it rather than improvising on the day.

What this means in London

Local conditions we work around

Most of London still drains through Victorian infrastructure, much of it combined sewers carrying foul and surface water in the same pipe. Two consequences follow. Heavy rain can surcharge the system and push water back up through the lowest gully in a property, which is why some basements flood in a storm without any blockage at all. And the older clay runs beneath gardens and pavements have joints that tree roots find, so root intrusion is one of the most common things our cameras record.

Straight answers

Gutter cleaning & downpipes in London, your questions

How often should gutters be cleared?
Yearly after leaf-fall for most houses; twice yearly under big trees. The £120 habit that prevents the £2,000 damp survey.
Water pours over one spot, blocked?
Either a blockage just past it or a sagged bracket pooling water. Both show in the photos, both fixable on the visit.
Do you do whole terraces or blocks?
Yes, shared rooflines priced per elevation, and neighbours splitting a visit is the cheap way to do it. Landlords: see commercial for scheduled roofline maintenance.
Is it really a plumbing job?
It is a rainwater job, and rainwater that misses the gutter ends up in the wall, then inside. We treat guttering as the top of the drainage system, which is why we clear the downpipe and the gully at the bottom on the same visit rather than stopping at the roofline.
Are gutter guards worth fitting?
Under heavy tree cover, yes, they turn an annual job into a three-yearly one. Under open sky they mostly trap moss and make the eventual clean harder. It depends entirely on what is above your roof.
My gutter leaks at a joint.
A perished union seal or a bracket that has dropped so water pools at the joint rather than running past it. Both are inexpensive to correct while the access equipment is already there, which is why we photograph and quote on the same visit.
Is London drainage different?
Much of it is Victorian, and a great deal of it is combined, foul and surface water in the same pipe. Two things follow: heavy rain can surcharge the system and push water back up the lowest gully in a property with no blockage present at all, and the old clay runs under gardens and pavements have joints that tree roots find. Root intrusion is one of the most common things our cameras record here.
