Gutter cleaning
Leaves and silt build up fast in gutters on single-storey homes near trees, and once they do, water backs up and starts overflowing over the fascia instead of reaching the downpipe. It's a quiet problem until it isn't, usually showing up as a waterfall over a doorway or window during the next heavy rain.
What the job involves
Leaves and silt cleared from single-storey gutters, downpipes flushed while we're up there.
What's included
- Clearing leaves and silt from gutters along the full roofline
- Flushing downpipes to check they're running clear

Questions and answers
Do you work on two-storey homes?
Mostly we do single-storey homes. For two-storey work we'll look at the photos and tell you whether it's a job for us.
How do I know if my gutters need replacing?
Rust holes, joints that drip, or gutters that hold water after the rain stops are the usual signs. Send photos and we'll give you our view.
Is gutter guard worth it?
Under trees, usually yes. It doesn't stop all cleaning, but it cuts it down to a quick once-a-year job.
Can you find a leak that only happens sometimes?
Often, yes. Tell us which direction the weather was coming from when it leaked; that usually points us to the right flashing or sheet.
Which areas do you cover?
Geelong and nearby: Belmont, Highton, Grovedale, Waurn Ponds, Newtown, Geelong West, Hamlyn Heights, Torquay, Ocean Grove and Leopold.
How do you price the work?
Gutter replacements and gutter guard are quoted as one fixed price after we've measured up. Cleaning is priced per house, and we tell you the price when you book. If we find rotten fascia or roof damage, we show you photos and price it before doing anything extra.
How the job is priced
The amount depends on the size of the roof, how many storeys and how much build-up there is, so a quick description or photo of the gutters helps us quote accurately.
