Professional gutter cleaning across all seven West London boroughs. We clear blocked gutters, flush downpipes, remove moss and debris, and report any damage found. From £80 for a standard clean.
West London's tree-lined streets are beautiful — but they generate enormous volumes of leaf debris that block gutters within weeks of autumn leaf fall. The mature London planes on Ealing's Pitshanger Lane, the oaks around Richmond Park, the horse chestnuts along Pinner's Nower Hill and the planes along Chiswick High Road all shed leaves, seeds, bark and blossom that accumulate in gutters and downpipes. Properties near parks — Walpole Park, Gunnersbury, Ravenscourt Park, Bushy Park — face even heavier loading.
Every gutter clean covers: removal of all debris from gutter channels, flushing of all downpipes to confirm flow, visual check of gutter brackets and joint seals, fascia board condition check, and a written condition note identifying any repairs needed. We bag and remove all debris — nothing gets washed down your walls or left on your driveway.
Victorian terraces across Fulham, Kilburn, Willesden, Acton and Shepherd's Bush have concealed parapet gutters that are invisible from ground level. These gutters block silently — the first sign is damp appearing inside the property, often between floors. We clean parapet gutters as part of our service, accessing them from scaffold or tower where standard ladders cannot reach.
Minimum once per year in late November after the main leaf fall. Properties within 20 metres of mature trees should add a second clean in April after blossom and seed fall. Properties backing onto woodland or parkland — common in Ickenham, Ruislip, Northwood, Barnes and Teddington — may need three cleans per year. We offer annual maintenance contracts that schedule cleaning automatically.
Standard terraced/semi: £80–£120. Detached: £100–£150. Three-storey (scaffold access): £150–£250. Parapet gutter access: from £120. Annual contract (2 cleans): 15% discount. Call 0203 302 2547.
NFRC maintenance guidance recommends gutter cleaning at least once annually in late autumn, with a second clear in spring for properties near mature trees. Regular maintenance prevents fascia rot, damp penetration and foundation damage that costs 10–50 times the cleaning fee to repair.

Gutter cleaning is preventative maintenance and not covered by insurance. However, damage caused by blocked gutters (damp, rot, subsidence) may be covered — and regular cleaning is the cheapest prevention.
Blocked gutters cause more damage than most homeowners realise. Here is how to tell yours need clearing.
When it is not the answer: If gutters flow freely in heavy rain with no visible debris, cleaning is not needed yet. Annual inspection still worthwhile.
Ladder or tower positioned safely. Never leaned against gutters.
All debris removed by hand.
Downpipes flushed with water to confirm clear flow.
Brackets, joints, falls and fascia condition noted.
Any damage found reported with photographs and repair quote.

Cleaning is maintenance, not a permanent fix. We report damage and quote repairs separately.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
No internal disruption. 30 minutes to 2 hours. We bag all debris. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Runs in most weather. We avoid heavy rain and high wind for safety. Thames corridor humidity slows drying on riverside properties; Harrow Hill faces 15-20% higher wind loading than lowland areas.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Honest quote from a local West London roofer.
