Gutter Cleaning in Kent
Blocked and overflowing gutters are one of the most common — and most avoidable — causes of damp, staining and roofline damage on Kent homes. We provide thorough, professional gutter cleaning across the county, clearing moss, leaves and silt so rainwater can drain the way it's meant to. Every visit ends with a free, no-obligation quote for any follow-on work your property needs.

What our gutter cleaning service includes
We clear gutters using a high-reach pole and vacuum system, which means most jobs can be done safely from the ground without ladders resting against your walls or fascias. Every gutter run is cleared of leaves, moss, silt and general debris, and we check that downpipes are flowing freely as we go. We also inspect brackets, joints and falls while we're up there, so if anything needs attention — a sagging section, a loose bracket, a leaking joint — we can tell you about it and quote separately, rather than leaving it for you to discover after the next downpour.
For taller properties or gutters with heavier blockages, we use a more powerful vacuum setup that can shift compacted debris a standard system would struggle with. We take before-and-after photos of the work so you can see exactly what's been cleared, even if you weren't able to watch from the garden while we worked.
Signs your gutters need cleaning
- Water spilling over the front of the gutter during rain, rather than flowing along it
- Visible plant growth, moss or leaf debris sitting in the gutter line
- Damp patches or staining on walls below the gutter, especially near corners
- Water marks or streaking on fascias and brickwork
- Birds or wildlife nesting in the gutter, which is often a sign it's been undisturbed for a while
- It's been over a year since the gutters were last cleared
If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth getting the gutters checked before the next spell of heavy rain. Left unaddressed, overflowing water can find its way into the roofline, walls and foundations of a property, which tends to cost far more to put right than a routine clean.

Why regular gutter cleaning matters for Kent homes
Kent's mix of coastal weather, wooded suburbs and mature tree cover means gutters here fill up faster than in many parts of the country. Autumn leaf-fall, spring blossom and the moss that thrives in our damp winters all end up washed into the gutter line, and a blocked gutter doesn't just look untidy — it redirects water straight down the wall instead of away from the building. Over time that can lead to damp inside the property, rotten fascias and soffits, and even undermined foundations in the worst cases. A yearly clean, or twice yearly if you're under heavy tree cover, is the simplest way to avoid all of it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Kent?
We offer free, no-obligation quotes for every job. Cost depends on the size of the property, the number of storeys and how easy the gutters are to access, so we'd rather give you an accurate figure after a quick look than a generic number that doesn't reflect your home.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Most Kent homes do well with a clean once a year. If your property sits under mature trees or near woodland, twice a year — typically autumn and spring — will keep gutters flowing properly and reduce the risk of overflow during heavy rain.
Do you use a telescopic pole system or ladders?
We use a telescopic pole and vacuum system for most properties, which lets us clear gutters safely from the ground. For taller buildings or particularly stubborn blockages, we use a higher-powered vacuum setup rather than working from a ladder against the wall.
Do you provide before-and-after photos of the gutter clean?
Yes. We take photos before and after each clean so you can see exactly what's been cleared, along with a note of anything — like a leaking joint or loose bracket — that might be worth getting repaired.
