Expert Gutter Cleaning in Treyford

It depends on what's overhanging the roof more than the postcode. A clear roofline with no trees close by can often go a year between cleans; anything shaded or leafy tends to need it twice as often.

Storey height, access and how much build-up there is are the main factors. A straightforward two-storey semi with clear ladder access costs less than a taller property or one where the vacuum's needed for hard-to-reach sections. We confirm the figure after a personal visit, in writing.

We assess access at the visit and choose the safest method, ladder work for most of the run, the vacuum for anything a ladder can't safely reach. It's unusual for a residential property to need scaffolding.

It's one of the more common access challenges we deal with. Rather than risk a ladder on a conservatory roof, we work that section with the gutter vacuum, so the extension stays undamaged and the gutter still gets done properly.

By hand is our default, it gives a better result on the fascia and gutter face than a vacuum alone. The vacuum earns its keep on the hard-to-reach runs where working from a ladder isn't a safe option.

Both are dealt with as standard. Moss gets removed at the root where we can, not just brushed off the top, and any old nests are cleared once we're confident they're not in current use.

Yes, we check flow through the downpipes while we're up there. A gutter that's spotless but draining into a blocked pipe hasn't really solved the problem, so we look at both.

Autumn is the busiest time because of leaf fall, but exterior gutter cleaning isn't weather-dependent the way clearance can be. If the fascias are looking grubby in spring or summer, there's no need to wait.

Yes, we're fully insured for the work we carry out, ladder work included. It's one of the things we'd encourage you to ask any tradesperson before they go up a ladder on your property.

Every job gets photographed before we start and once we've finished, so you can see exactly what came off and how it looks now. It's not an upsell, it's how every visit is done.

Not far at all, Treyford and neighbouring Didling and Elsted are all comfortably inside the area we work from Farnham on a regular basis.

It can. Older properties sometimes have different gutter profiles or more delicate fixings than a modern estate house, so we check what we're actually dealing with at the visit rather than assume.
