Exterior Cleaning
Gutter cleaning that keeps roof drainage paths clear
Leaves, silt and wind-blown debris can restrict gutters and downpipe entries, especially around tree-covered properties. Felix Property Care clears agreed, safely accessible guttering so rainwater has a cleaner path away from the roofline.
- Clear scope
- Practical scheduling
- Tidy finish
A practical part of preventative property care
Gutters are easy to overlook from the ground. Material can build up in corners, behind guards and around downpipe openings long before it becomes obvious. Cleaning removes accessible loose debris and gives the visible gutter line a useful reset before the next period of heavy rain.
The work depends on roof height, pitch, ground conditions, access and the style of guttering. We assess those details before confirming what can be reached safely. If the roof surface itself is visibly stained or covered in organic growth, ask separately about roof cleaning; it has different access and surface considerations from clearing gutters.
Gutter cleaning cannot repair rust, failed joints, damaged brackets, incorrectly graded gutters or blocked underground stormwater lines. If we notice an obvious concern in the accessible work area, we can point it out so you can arrange the appropriate trade or further investigation.
What the service can include
Every property is different, so the final inclusions are confirmed from your photos, access details and priorities. A typical gutter cleaning visit can cover the following agreed tasks.
- Removal of accessible loose debris from agreed gutters
- Attention around visible downpipe entry points
- Care around roof edges and adjacent exterior finishes
- Collection of normal debris generated by the work
- Basic visual check of cleaned accessible sections
- Tidy-up of the immediate work area
How your booking works
A simple four-step process keeps expectations clear and helps us arrive prepared for the property.
Confirm safe scope
We assess height, roof and gutter style, access and whether gutter guards or unusual build-up affect the work.
Clear agreed sections
Accessible debris is removed methodically with attention to corners and downpipe openings.
Review from the work area
Collected material is gathered, the immediate area is tidied and visible concerns are noted where practical.

Signs the gutters may need cleaning
Regular timing varies with nearby trees, weather exposure and roof design. Arrange an assessment if you notice any of these signs:
- Leaves or plants are visible above the gutter line
- Water spills over an edge during moderate rain
- Birds are repeatedly pulling material from one section
- A tree-heavy property has passed through leaf fall
- Gutters have not been checked for an extended period
Keep gates and access paths clear, move vehicles away from likely ladder positions and point out known power, solar or roof concerns. If dirty runoff has marked paths below, pressure washing may help suitable hard surfaces afterward. Roof staining should be assessed under roof cleaning, not added casually to a gutter booking.
Questions people often ask
Do gutter guards mean cleaning is unnecessary?
No. Guards can reduce larger debris but fine material may still build up, and the guard itself can affect access and cleaning time.
Will cleaning fix an overflowing gutter?
It can help when loose debris is the cause, but damage, poor fall or blocked underground drainage requires different investigation.
Can you work on every roof height?
No. Safe access, height, pitch and site conditions determine what can be completed with available equipment. Photos are required.
