Cleared, checked and photographed.

Gutter clearing by pole-mounted vacuum up to three storeys, roof moss removal, fascias and soffits, and pressure washing across Buckinghamshire and nearby towns. Every job leaves with a before-and-after record.

Leaves are coming down, which is when gutters block. Get yours cleared before the winter rain.

Halfway through

One roof, one photograph, part way through

The clean tiles are the finished side. The dark side is still waiting its turn. Same roof, same light, same day.

01 — Services

One visit, one price, everything above head height

Each line below can be booked on its own or combined. Most customers add the fascias or the roof moss while we are already set up outside.

01

Gutter clearing

VacuumUp to 3 storeysPhoto record

Pole-mounted vacuum worked from the ground wherever it will reach, with a camera on the head so the run is inspected before and after. Downpipes and hoppers flow-tested, debris bagged and left tidy.

02

Roof cleaning & soft washing

Soft washTower accessTest patch first

A low-pressure wash and a biocide treatment rather than a jet washer. It takes the green off the roof without stripping the surface off the tiles.

03

Roof moss removal

Scraped by handGutters cleared afterLadder work

Moss removed tile by tile rather than blasted off, then the valleys and gutters cleared so it doesn't wash straight back down. Ridge and hip pointing inspected while we're up there.

Soft washUPVCExterior

UPVC brought back from grey-green to white, including gutter exteriors, bargeboards and cladding. Done alongside a gutter clear it costs a fraction of booking it separately.

Conservatory roof cleaning

GlassPolycarbonateBox gutter

Panels, frames and — the part that matters most — the box gutter where the conservatory meets the house. That joint is the single most common leak we're called to.

Solar panel cleaning

Pure waterFrom the groundNo detergent

Pure water and a soft brush on a pole, worked from the ground. Dirty panels lose output, and the film that builds up will not come off in the rain.

Pressure washing

Per m²Re-sandedDriveways & patios

Driveways, patios, paths and steps. Black spot and algae lifted, then kiln-dried sand brushed back into block paving where it needs it.

Driveway sealing & re-sanding

Kiln-dried sandSealedAfter washing

The finishing half of a driveway clean. Joints refilled with kiln-dried sand and the surface sealed, so weeds struggle and the next clean is easier.

02 — Process

What actually happens on the day

No surprises and nothing improvised. You get a fixed price before we arrive and a photo record before we invoice.

Stage 01

Enquiry

Send the postcode and a photo of the property. Most houses we can price from that alone, within one working day.

Stage 02

Set up

Vacuum system assembled at ground level. Camera on the pole head so we can see into the run before we start.

Stage 03

Clear & check

Gutters emptied, downpipes and hoppers flow-tested, debris bagged and left tidy. Faults noted and photographed as we go.

Stage 04

Report

Before-and-after photos of every run sent over, with anything we found that needs attention and what it would cost.

03 — Why it matters

What a blocked gutter costs if you leave it

Gutters fail quietly. The damage turns up somewhere else, months later, and costs considerably more than the clean.

What happensSeverityWhat you end up dealing with
Overflow down the wallHighSaturated brickwork and render. Wet walls conduct heat out, so the room behind gets colder and harder to heat.
Penetrating damp insideHighA patch on the bedroom wall directly behind the overflow. Replastering and redecorating, once the wall has dried out.
Gutter drops out of fallMediumWet leaf mulch is heavy. Brackets pull out of the fascia, the run sags, and water stops reaching the downpipe at all.
Frost splits the plasticMediumStanding water freezes and expands. Cracked gutter lengths and downpipes needing replacement rather than clearing.
Fascia and soffit rotMediumTimber behind the gutter stays permanently wet. Replacement boards cost many times the price of an annual clear.
04 — Coverage

Where we operate

A deliberately tight radius. Short travel between jobs is what makes a reliable arrival time possible.

Outside the radius? Ask anyway — we take work beyond it where the round allows, and we'll tell you straight if we can't. See all areas covered.
05 — FAQs

Common questions

How do you price a job?
By the property, not by the hour. Storeys, the length of gutter, how much rear access there is and what state the runs are in. Send the postcode and a photo of the front and back and you'll have a fixed figure within one working day — that figure is what you pay.
Do I need to be at the property?
Usually not. If we can reach the whole perimeter without going through the house you don't need to be there. If access is via a locked side gate, leave us the code or the key arrangement on the form and we'll work around it.
How often should gutters be cleared?
Annually suits most properties, ideally once the leaves have finished falling in late autumn. Under mature trees — conifers especially — twice a year is more realistic. Commercial sites with flat roofs and box gutters usually need a scheduled arrangement.
What if you find damage rather than a blockage?
You get the photo and a separate quote for the repair. Nothing extra gets done or charged without you agreeing to it first. Small items like a single bracket or union we can often sort on the same visit if you'd like us to.
Do you work from ladders?
Sometimes. Gutter clearing is done from the ground with a pole vacuum wherever it reaches, which is most houses and up to three storeys. Where that will not do it, we work off a ladder — two storeys maximum, never higher. Roof washing is done from a mobile scaffold tower rather than ladders leant on the guttering. Repairs and roof moss work need proper access too, and we will tell you which applies to your property before we start.
What happens to the debris?
It comes down the pole into the drum rather than being flicked onto the roof or the lawn, then it is bagged and left tidy for your green waste collection. Nothing gets tipped into the borders or left in a pile by the fence.
