Gloved hands clearing autumn leaves from a roof gutter

Why it matters

Blocked gutters cost more than a clean

Your home’s gutters can get filled by twigs, leaves, animal waste, flora growth – resulting in sediments build within the gutters. Gutters that haven’t been cleaned professionally by expert gutter cleaners can’t perform at their optimum. Even if gutters are not blocked, it can slow the flow of rainwater, which results in sludge build-up. Blocked gutters stop directing water down the downpipes, causing backflow under your roof tiles – resulting in major damages to your roof and ceiling and wall of your home. Additionally, the gutter itself can get damaged in the process.

What’s included

What our gutter cleaning service includes

Every gutter clean covers the full run of guttering on your home, not just the parts you can see from the ground. Whatever your gutter needs, our experienced gutter cleaners:

Remove leaves and other debris, twigs and sludge from your gutters by hand
Flush your downpipes so rainwater drains freely away from the house
Clear blockages before water backs up under your roof tiles
Take care of small gutter repair needs as we go, at no extra charge
Leave your property mess-free, clean and tidy when we’re done

When it comes to gutter debris disposal, we clean up after ourselves, so you won’t find a lot of debris left on your lawn, paths or driveway.

We clean gutters on single storey homes and double storey homes as well as townhouses and terraces across Melbourne, and we also offer commercial gutter cleaning services. For heavy blockages along the roof line, see our roof gutter cleaning services page.

Our team has many years’ experience working on a wide range of roof types, and we use the latest equipment and tools to help you keep your gutters flowing all year.

Warning signs

How to tell you need gutter cleaning

Blocked rain gutters are hard to spot from the ground until it rains. Debris can clog a gutter for months before you notice. Look out for:

Water spilling over the edge of the gutter during rain
Plants, grass or moss growing out of the gutters
Gutters sagging or pulling away from the fascia
Water stains, mould or mildew on ceilings and walls
Downpipes that overflow, gurgle or don’t drain
Mosquitoes breeding in pools of stagnant water

If you notice any of these and you’re looking for a gutter cleaner, call us before the next spell of wet weather causes water damage.

How often

How often should gutters be cleaned in Melbourne?

For most Melbourne homes, a professional gutter clean once or twice a year keeps rainwater flowing. Homes under gum trees or other large trees usually need it more often, because leaves and bark build up quickly. Good times to book are late autumn, once the leaves have dropped, and late spring, before summer storms.

A regular cleaning schedule also matters in summer. Dry leaves left in gutters are a potential fire hazard if embers land on the roof, so clearing them before the warmer months is a simple fire safety step and one of the best ways to protect your home from bushfires. That’s especially true for homes near bushland in the outer east and on the Mornington Peninsula, where the threat of bushfires is greater.

FAQs

Gutter cleaning service FAQs

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Melbourne?

The cost of gutter cleaning depends on the size of your home, whether it’s single or double storey, how easy the gutters are to reach and how blocked they are. We give you a firm quote before we start, and that’s the price you pay. Request a quote or call 0423 227 516.

Do you clean downpipes too?

Yes. Downpipe flushing is part of every gutter clean, so water drains away properly once the gutters are clear.

Can I clean the gutters myself?

You can, but working on a ladder at roof height is risky, especially on a two-storey home. Our professional gutter cleaners use proper safety equipment and follow strict health and safety guidelines. See our double storey gutter cleaning page for more.

Can you clean gutters with gutter guards?

Let us know if gutter guards are installed when you ask for a quote. It’s one of the first things we check, so we can quote the job accurately.

Which areas do you service?

We’re based in Wantirna South and clean gutters across Melbourne’s East and South Eastern suburbs, including Knox, Maroondah, Monash, Whitehorse, Casey, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. See our about us page for the full suburb list.
