Gutter Cleaning Perth Services

What Time of Year Should I Look at Getting My Gutters Cleaned?

Generally prior to the first heavy rains of the year for most properties. In Perth, that will usually mean around March-April. Anytime from February through to September is generally going to be best. If you’re living in a fire prone area, then it’s also recommended to have them cleaned prior to summer. If you’re surrounded by large trees (particularly gumtrees), you may need a bi-annual service (or even quarterly in some cases). If you want to avoid an extended wait, try and organise a service before mid April, or after August. Otherwise book in early!

How Often Do I Need Them Cleaned?

Generally once a year will suffice for most properties. If you are in an area without much foliage around, you can probably get away with less often. If you are in a high density tree area, you’ll likely want to consider every 3-6 months- particularly if you’re in a fire prone region. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the Perth weather forecast– keep an eye out for heavy rain periods and high fire danger warnings.

How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Usually Cost?

Prices for gutter cleaning will vary on size of the property, how many stories and ease of access, as well as other factors. As a general rule, a single story home will cost around $160-$250, while a double story property will cost around $250-$400. All dependent on size of the property, accessibility, roof pitch and the amount of debris. Commercial properties, due to their general size, will usually be charged at a higher rate.

How Do We Clean the Gutters?

Generally speaking, we will aim to use a gutter vacuum, so long as conditions allow it. A vacuum is the most thorough method, allowing for all the dust and smaller particles to be removed from your gutters. It also pulls out mud and excess water. Sometimes however, we’ll use the old fashioned tools and bucket, or pressure wash if they are particularly muddy. We use the method that is going to get the best results for your property. During cleaning, we’ll also ensure the downpipes are clear and flowing as they should be.

Can You Clean The Roof While You’re Up There?

Yes absolutely! If it’s loose debris, we would quote for that as part of a gutter cleaning service. If your roof (metal or tile) has a build up of moss, lichen, or other debris that isn’t easily removed, we offer a specialised roof cleaning service. This involves high pressure cleaning, often with the use of chemicals for stubborn mess. Please mention this while requesting a quote.
