Mackerels Common Gutter Cleaning
Gutter work has a credibility problem: it happens above eye level, so most customers can only take a tradesman's word for it. Around Mackerels Common, Dean solves that the direct way, with a camera. Every job produces evidence, and the evidence does the persuading.
The Before Photo: What You Are Paying to Fix
The first pictures get taken from the ladder before anything is touched. Packed silt, moss dams at the outlets, water standing where the fall should carry it away. Customers are routinely startled by their own gutters; from the ground, a full run and an empty one look identical.
Those photos also anchor the quote. When the figure reflects a run you have seen with your own eyes, there is nothing to take on faith.
The After Photo: Proof of the Finish
The closing set shows the same stretches cleared to the channel, outlets open, faces wiped. Comparing the pairs takes seconds and settles every question about whether the job was done and done thoroughly.
Anything worth knowing about gets its own frame too: a joint that will want watching, a bracket beginning to tip, roof moss queueing up to refill the run. No drama attached, just information you now own.
- Ladder-level pictures before a single handful comes out
- Matching shots after, same angles where possible
- Extra frames for anything flagged, free of charge
- A record you can keep for insurance or resale files
Behind the Camera, the Usual Standards
The photography documents a job done Dean's usual way: cleared by hand for the vast majority of the work, since hands inspect while they clean, with the gutter vacuum deployed on high or hemmed-in runs. Fully insured throughout, priced by a free visit to the property, and never a penny beyond the agreed figure.
Mackerels Common sits on the regular round through this part of the Chichester district, close by Kirdford and within easy reach of Plaistow, Ifold and Balls Cross.
Why Evidence Changes the Relationship
Once a customer has seen their before and after set, the following year needs no selling at all. They know what twelve months puts in a gutter here, they know what clean looks like, and the conversation becomes two neighbours agreeing a date. That is how trust compounds.
Honesty You Can File Away
There is a quieter benefit to all this documentation: it accumulates. After two or three years of photo sets, you own a dated visual history of your roofline, how fast it loads, which corners struggle, what got fixed and when. That file has settled surveyor queries, informed sale negotiations and guided sensible maintenance budgets for Mackerels Common households, all as a free by-product of cleans that were happening anyway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gutter Cleaning in Mackerels Common, answered by the man who does the work.
How do the photos reach me?
Sent directly to your phone or email when the job wraps up, usually the same day, whichever suits you.
Are photos included on every job or only big ones?
Every job, no matter the size. A single porch run gets the same before and after treatment as a full house.
Can I use the photos for an insurance or sale file?
Yes, they are yours. Dated evidence of maintained gutters has settled more than one buyer's survey query.
What if the before photos show damage?
You see exactly what Dean sees, with an honest explanation of what it means and whether it is urgent, soon, or fine to leave. The decision stays yours.
Do you photograph the downpipe outlets too?
Yes, outlets are the usual choke points, so they feature in both sets, cleared and tested.
Is the clean itself done by hand or machine?
Hand work for roughly ninety percent, with the vacuum covering tall gables and runs above glazing where ladders should not go.
How much does a clean at Mackerels Common cost?
Priced per property after a free visit, based on runs, height and access. The quoted figure is fixed.
Are you insured?
Fully, for all domestic gutter work including operating at height, on every single visit.
Do you cover Kirdford and Wisborough Green?
Yes, along with Plaistow, Ifold, Balls Cross and Roundstreet Common. This cluster is regular territory.
How often should I have this done?
Annually for most properties here, twice under serious tree cover. Your before photos will make the right interval obvious within a couple of years.
Do I need to be home for any of it?
No. With access sorted in advance, the entire job, photography included, happens whether you are in or out.
