Blocked gutters on reactive clay is a foundation problem.

For a standard single-storey home, expect somewhere between $250 and $400 depending on roof size and how blocked the gutters are. Double-storey adds a surcharge for access and safety gear, and triple-storey is quoted after we've seen the roof. Fixed price before we start.

We hand-clear the gutters and use vacuum gear for the fine debris and dust afterwards. Hand-clearing is the only way to properly shift compacted sludge and moss that's built up over a couple of seasons — a vacuum alone tends to leave the stubborn stuff behind.

Yes, on every job. We flush each downpipe with water and check it flows out cleanly at the stormwater connection. If a downpipe's blocked further down and needs a plumber, we'll tell you straight rather than charging you to clean a gutter that'll overflow anyway.

Yes. We're equipped with harnesses, roof anchors and extension ladders for double-storey work as standard. Triple-storey homes need a site look first so we can plan safe access — send photos of the roofline and we'll let you know what's involved.

We remove and treat it as part of the job at no extra cost. Mud dauber and European wasp nests are common under gutter overhangs, especially through summer, and we're not going to leave one there for you to find with a broom later.

Yes — before and after photos on every clean, sent to you once we're done. Shows exactly what was blocking your gutters and gives you a look at the roofline condition without you having to get up there yourself.

Once a year suits most homes with few nearby trees. If you've got gum trees, pines, or you're backing onto bushland, twice a year — autumn and before bushfire season in spring — is the safer call, particularly if you're in the outer east or Yarra Ranges.
