Do your gutters need cleaning now, or on a schedule?

Gutters never fail on a quiet day. They fail in the first heavy rain after the leaves have built up, so the question is how full they are and what is forecast.

Clean them now

Water pouring over the front edge

Rain is spilling past the gutter and running down the wall, and it can soak the footings and the eaves.

Book a regular clean

A thin layer of leaves and grit

The water still flows to the downpipe. A clean before the next wet season is enough.

Clean them now

Water coming through the eaves or ceiling

A full gutter can back up under the first row of roof sheets, so the water ends up inside the house.

Book a regular clean

Stains on the fascia boards

Dark streaks show water has been overflowing, but they are old marks. Clean soon and check the boards in daylight.

Clean them now

Plants growing out of the gutter

Weeds and seedlings mean there is a deep bed of rotting leaves holding water against the metal.

Book a regular clean

A few leaves in the downpipe outlet

A slow trickle is a warning, not a flood, and a service visit can flush the downpipe.

Clean them now

Embers season and leaves on the roof

In bushfire-prone areas, dry leaf litter in gutters is the easiest fuel for a spot fire. Clear it before the season.

Book a regular clean

A clean gutter after a mild few months

If there is no tree cover near the roof, a yearly look is all it needs.

Not sure if yours cannot wait?

Phone us and a licensed plumber will say what can safely wait until the weekend.

How often to clean gutters in Sydney, by what is around your roof

There is no single number for every house. How often a gutter cleaning is needed depends on the trees and the area. Pick the one that sounds like your street.

  1. Gums, camphor laurels and other trees overhanging the roof drop leaves, bark and twigs most of the year. The gutter fills faster than it drains.

  2. We clear the gutters by hand, flush the downpipes with water until they run freely, and remove everything from the roof valleys and the edges.

  3. For a house with trees right on the roof, we suggest cleaning several times a year. Autumn and spring are the usual pair, with a check after big storms.

  1. With no trees nearby the gutters still collect roof grit, pollen, bird nests and the dust that blows in from the street.

  2. We clean the run, check the outlets and look at the gutter itself for rust, sagging and open joints while we are up there.

  3. A yearly clean is usually enough here. We note anything that is starting to fail so you can fix it before the winter rain.

  1. Streets in the Hills District, the Northern Beaches and parts of the Sutherland Shire back onto bush, and dry leaves in a gutter can catch embers. The NSW Rural Fire Service asks owners to keep gutters clear before the fire season.

  2. We clean the gutters and valleys right back, and check that downpipe outlets are not blocked, so rain and any hose water can leave the roof.

  3. Cleaning should come before the warmer months. Where leaves return fast, a gutter guard rated for bushfire areas is worth looking at.

Roof plumbing
  1. A storm can fill a gutter with leaves and branches in a single night, and the water then runs down the wall or back into the roof.

  2. We clear the blockage, flush the downpipes and check whether the gutter has been pulled off its brackets or the water has found the fascia.

  3. If anything is damaged, we give you the repair as a separate price and you decide when to do it.

What gutter cleaning costs in Sydney, and how we quote it

A quote for gutter cleaning depends on the size of the roof and the state of the gutters. You get the price before we start, so the figure on the day is the figure you were given.

  • Length of the gutters

    More metres of gutter takes more time, and a house with extensions or a granny flat has more run to clear.

  • Storeys and roof access

    A single storey house is a quicker job than a two or three storey one, which needs more set-up and more care at height.

  • How full they are

    Gutters cleaned last month take far less time than gutters that have not been touched in years and hold packed, rotting leaves.

  • Downpipes that are blocked

    A downpipe packed with silt or roots needs flushing and sometimes jetting, which is more than a gutter clear-out alone.

  • Repairs found on the way

    We check rust, sagging and open joints as we clean and list them, but we never add them to the price without asking.

What overflowing gutters do to a house

How often should gutters be cleaned in Sydney?

Gutters in Sydney should be cleaned at least twice a year - typically in spring and autumn - to prevent blockages and water damage, with more frequent cleaning recommended if your property is surrounded by trees or experiences heavy rain.

What are the signs that my gutters need professional cleaning?

Overflowing water during rain, visible debris, sagging gutters, mold on walls, or plants growing in the gutter are key signs your gutters need thorough professional cleaning to avoid costly home damage.

Do I need to be home during the gutter cleaning service?

You do not need to be present for a standard gutter cleaning - professional teams can safely access your roof and will remove all debris, leaving your property clean and secure.

Is gutter cleaning too expensive in Sydney?

It depends on the house. A small single storey home is a quicker job than a large two storey one with a heavy leaf load and blocked downpipes. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you can judge it against the work.

Do tenants have to clean gutters in NSW?

It depends on the lease. Under the NSW rules, the landlord is generally responsible for the structure, and the tenant for keeping the property clean and tidy. Gutters at height are often the landlord's job. Check your lease and ask your agent.

What is the fastest way to clean gutters?

Clearing the debris by hand and then flushing the gutter and downpipes with water. Blowing or hosing alone leaves silt behind and can push debris into the downpipe. We clear first, then flush, so water runs freely to the outlet.

What is the grey-black stuff on the underside of my gutters?

Usually it is dirt and mould staining from water that has spilled over the edge, or from rust starting at a seam. It is worth a look, because a stain that keeps coming back can mean the gutter is overflowing or leaking.

Do you offer emergency gutter cleaning?

Yes. We are on call 24 hours, 7 days. If water is coming into the ceiling or pouring down the wall, phone us and leave the ladder alone: a licensed plumber will come to you.

Is it safe to clean gutters myself?

Falls from ladders are a leading cause of injury at home, and SafeWork NSW sets rules for work at height. If you cannot reach the gutter from a stable, level footing, it is safer to have a licensed plumber do it.

Which areas of Sydney do you clean gutters in?

Cleaners go out in every part of Sydney: the Hills District, Western Sydney and South West Sydney, the Sutherland Shire and Canterbury-Bankstown, the Inner West, the City of Sydney and Eastern Suburbs, and the North Shore and Northern Beaches.

Should I clean gutters before bushfire season in Sydney?

If your home is in or near bushland, yes. Dry leaves in a gutter can catch embers, and a clean gutter is one of the easy jobs the NSW Rural Fire Service lists. We clear the gutters and valleys and check the downpipes drain.
