Gutter cleaning in Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and across North Wales
Blocked gutters are the job everyone puts off until there's water running down the wall. I clear gutters across Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, Rhos-on-Sea, Penrhyn Bay, Deganwy, Conwy and Abergele — using a gutter vacuum from ground level. No ladders leaning against your render, nobody clambering about above your conservatory, and no muddy pile left on the patio. You get a photo of each gutter before I start and after I've finished, so you can see what came out without going up there yourself.

What a blocked gutter actually does
A gutter full of moss and leaves doesn't announce itself. It just quietly stops working, and the damage shows up somewhere else:
· Water overflows down the wall, and render that stays wet goes green
· Damp patches appear inside, usually on an upstairs corner
· Fascias and soffits soften and start to rot
· Frozen standing water splits the joints in winter
· Downpipes back up and blow the seals
A gutter clear costs a fraction of the cost to put right. It's the cheapest maintenance job on a house.
How I clear gutters — from the ground
I use a gutter vacuum: a set of carbon fibre poles running up to a powerful vacuum in the van. It reaches your gutters from the ground and sucks out moss, silt, leaves and grit into a bin in the van.
That means a few things for you. Nothing leans against your house, so there's no risk of a ladder marking the render or cracking a tile. Nothing lands in your borders — it all goes into the machine. And because there's a camera on the end of the pole, I can show you the state of the gutter before I start and prove it's clear when I've finished.
It's also why I can do most houses in a couple of hours without a second person, which keeps the price sensible.
What's included
• All accessible gutters cleared of moss, leaves, silt and debris
• Downpipe tops checked and cleared where I can reach them
• Before and after photos of every run, sent over on WhatsApp
• Everything taken away in the van — nothing left on your drive
• A heads-up if I spot a cracked bracket, a sagging run or a joint that's leaking, so you can get it sorted before winter
I don't do gutter repairs or replacements, and I'll tell you plainly if that's what a gutter needs rather than charging you to clean something that's about to come off the wall.

Gutters FAQ
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Once a year for most houses on this coast, usually autumn once the leaves are down. If you've got trees close by or a north-facing roof that grows moss, twice a year is money better spent than a damp repair.
Do you need to get on the roof or use ladders?
No. I clear gutters from the ground using a gutter vacuum on carbon fibre poles. Nothing leans against your house and nobody goes up.
Do I need to be home?
Not usually. As long as I can get round the property, you don't need to be there — I'll send the before and after photos over when I'm done.
What if my gutters are damaged?
I'll photograph it and tell you. I don't repair or replace guttering, but I'd rather you knew about a cracked joint now than found out in January.
Will it make a mess of the garden?
No. Everything comes out into the vacuum and leaves in the van. That's the main advantage over doing it off a ladder with a scoop.
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
Most gutter cleans are £65 to £110 depending on the size of the house, and there's no VAT on top. A standard semi is £85. I'll give you the exact figure before I book you in, and it won't change on the day.
