Services We Provide
Our gutter and roofline maintenance covers the tasks needed to keep water flowing away from your property safely and efficiently:
- Gutter cleaning to clear gutters of leaves and moss
- Downpipe unblocking for proper drainage
- Roofline debris removal from gutters, hoppers and outlets
- Minor clip reseating and joint checks (where accessible from our safe working position)
- Water-flow testing after cleaning (where appropriate)
- Photos or a short report on request for your records
- Safe use of access equipment suited to your property type
- Optional linked services: ivy removal affecting gutters, pressure washing for ground-level drainage areas, and storm debris clearance after heavy weather
If your brief includes wider garden or grounds work alongside your gutter clean, we can combine services such as garden maintenance, hedge trimming, or green waste removal to minimise visits and disruption.
Limitations & Specialist Requests
We’re transparent about what we can safely and compliantly deliver:
- High-level access: Properties requiring specialist access (e.g., rope access, cherry pickers, or scaffolding) will need a bespoke quote.
- Repairs and replacements: We do not undertake full gutter replacement or extensive repairs. We can report faults we find and recommend next steps.
- Asbestos or fragile roofing: Work on asbestos cement or extremely fragile roof areas may require specialist partners.
- Severe blockages below ground: Subsurface drainage issues (after the downpipe) may need a drainage contractor with jetting/inspection equipment.
- Extreme weather: We may reschedule if wind or heavy rain makes height work unsafe.
Tell us about access, height, and roof material at the enquiry stage and we’ll advise the safest, most cost-effective approach.

- Access (rear gardens, narrow side returns, obstructions, parking)
- Condition level (light debris vs. heavy moss, silt and roofline vegetation)
- Downpipe unblocking complexity
- Need for specialist access equipment or additional operatives
- Frequency (one-off or scheduled maintenance)

Local Service In North London
Homes and premises across North London often face seasonal leaf fall, moss build-up on shaded roof pitches, and limited access around extensions or side returns. We’re used to tight driveways, shared alleyways, and parking controls across N postcodes, and we plan accordingly.
Whether it’s a terraced property with a conservatory, a semi with a side gate, or a small block with multiple downpipes, we adapt our approach. For commercial sites, we liaise with site contacts to schedule safe access, provide documentation where required, and minimise disruption to staff and visitors. If your property in North London has known problem spots—like a downpipe that regularly clogs—we can put a simple maintenance plan in place.
Quality, Safety & Compliance
- Trained operatives: Our teams are trained in safe use of access equipment and height work procedures, including ladder footing, stabilisation and exclusion zones.
- Risk assessment: We produce site-specific risk assessments and method statements appropriate to the task.
- Insured work: We hold appropriate public liability cover; details available on our insurance page.
- Responsible waste handling: Debris from gutters is collected and disposed of responsibly or composted on-site at your request where appropriate.
- Respect for your property: We use protective measures to avoid damage to landscaping, fascias, soffits, and ground surfaces.
- Sustainability: Where suitable, we can advise on leaf guards and seasonal scheduling to reduce reactive call-outs.
- Equipment: We use well-maintained ladders, stabilisers and other safety equipment. On request, we can explore alternative access (e.g., towers or MEWPs) via specialist partners when needed.
Our goal is to prevent damp and leaks with gutter cleaning that’s thorough, safe and considerate of your property and neighbours.
FAQs
-
How often should gutters be cleaned in North London?
Typically once a year, or twice if you have heavy leaf fall, overhanging trees, or recurring moss. After major storms, a check can be worthwhile. -
Do I need to be home during the service?
Not necessarily, provided we can access all gutter lines safely and you’ve moved vehicles or items that block ladder positions. We can send photos afterwards on request. -
Can you clear gutters over a conservatory?
Often, yes, using safe access equipment or alternative positions. If reach is restricted, we’ll advise whether specialist access is required. -
What if the downpipe is still blocked after cleaning?
We’ll attempt to unblock downpipes for proper drainage. If the blockage is below ground or requires jetting, we’ll recommend a drainage contractor. -
Do you repair gutters?
We can reseat simple clips and flag visible issues, but we don’t carry out full repairs or replacements. We’ll report defects so you can arrange remedial work. -
What about parking and access in N areas?
Please let us know about restrictions. We plan for typical N parking and tight access, but advance notice helps us bring the right equipment. -
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance suitable for our work. Learn more on our insurance page. -
Can you combine gutter cleaning with other services?
Certainly. Many clients add ivy removal, storm debris clearance, or garden maintenance to maximise value in one visit.
