Gutter Cleaning in Bournemouth

• Rainwater running over the edge of the gutter during heavy rainstorms
• Sagging guttering that has come away from the fascia board
• Green moss or small plants growing along the gutter channel
• Damp spots or streaks on on the outside walls of your home
• Birds or other pests often rest or nest close to the gutters

If you spot any of these signs, it’s time to schedule gutter clearing.

For most homes in Bournemouth, it is suggested to clean twice a year, once in the spring to get rid of the debris from the winter, and again in the autumn, after the leaves have fallen from the trees. If you are in an area close to woodland, such as Ferndown or Ringwood, or have a flat roof, you may need to clean your house more often. You may also have issues with coastal homes, such as in Southbourne or Boscombe, due to the wind blowing debris.

We clean all common types of guttering and rainwater pipes in Bournemouth and Dorset, including uPVC gutters found on modern and post-war homes, cast iron gutters on Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Boscombe and Winton, aluminium gutters on newer properties, and timber gutters on cottages. We also clean modern seamless gutters. Soffit and fascia board cleaning can be done for an extra charge.

We are completely registered and meet all necessary health and safety standards, including SSIP accreditation. All members of our team are trained and certified in working at height (IPAF). We can use proper harnesses and ladder systems, as well as scaffolding if necessary. We are also PASMA certified for commercial gutter cleaning.

Light winds usually doesn’t affect gutter cleaning. However, in cases of severe windy weather, we may reschedule for safety reasons and we’ll always keep you informed.

Most gutter cleaning jobs in Dorset take between half an hour and two hours, based on the length of the guttering and the amount of debris. For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached property, it should take us less than one hour to clean. Larger detached homes, flat complexes, and business establishments may take slightly longer, but we will always give you a reasonable estimate before we start work.

A light drizzle is not a problem, we work in it all the time along the Dorset coast. But for safety reasons we will not work in high winds or icy conditions, both of which Bournemouth does occasionally see in winter. If we need to rearrange, we’ll inform you right away and quickly rearrange for another time.

No, not at all. Gutter cleaning is done outside, so we only need access around the outside of your home. You do not need to be in, as long as we can safely reach the gutters, we’ll complete the job and inform you once we are finished.
