Overflow into the eaves and walls
When gutters fill, water spills back under the roofline. It rots fascia, stains the render and finds its way inside before you notice.
Why it matters
A full gutter is a slow problem that turns into a big one.
Fire risk through summer
Dry leaves packed in the gutters are a real hazard in a Hunter Valley summer, especially on bush-edge and semi-rural blocks.
Blocked downpipes and pooling
Debris washes down and clogs the pipes, so water pools against the slab and footings instead of draining away.
What changes
Water runs where it should again.
Debris removed, downpipes flushed and obvious damage flagged.
Gutters and downpipes both
Clearing the gutter is only half of it. We flush the downpipes so the whole system drains, not just the troughs.
Debris taken away
We bag the leaves and muck and remove it, no piles left on the lawn or in the garden beds.
We tell you what we see
Rust, sagging brackets or split joins get flagged with a photo so you can sort them before they leak.

Common questions
- What affects a gutter cleaning quote?
- Storeys, roof height, gutter length, debris build-up and downpipe blockages all affect the quote. Send your suburb and photos if you can.
- How often should gutters be cleaned?
- Once or twice a year for most homes. If you back onto bush or have big trees overhead, twice a year is safer, ideally before storm season and after autumn.
- Do you flush the downpipes too?
- Yes. Clearing the gutters isn't enough on its own. We flush the downpipes so the whole system drains and water doesn't pool against the house.
- Do you take the debris away?
- Yes. We bag the leaves and muck and remove it from site. No piles left on the lawn or in the garden beds.
- Can you clean the roof at the same time?
- Yes, and it's the efficient way to do it. One visit for gutters and roof cleaning saves a second call-out. Mention it when you enquire and we'll quote both.
