Gutter Clearance in Dover & Whitfield
Blocked gutters cleared with a vacuum on carbon poles, from the ground — no ladders against the house and nobody on your roof. Downpipes checked, mess taken away.

Cleared from the ground, not off a ladder
A gutter vacuum on carbon poles reaches the gutter line from your driveway. Nothing leans on the house, nobody goes on the roof, and there are no ladder feet pressing into your border or your render.
The whole run, both sides
Front and back, plus the bits over conservatories and porches that ladders can’t safely reach. Moss, leaves, roof grit and whatever the birds left behind.
Downpipes checked
A clear gutter that empties into a blocked downpipe still floods. I check the pipes run before I pack up — there is not much point doing one without the other.
Cleared up after
What comes out of a gutter is wet, black and heavy. It goes in a bag and leaves with me, rather than sitting in a pile on your lawn until it kills the grass under it.
Usually one visit
Most houses in Whitfield are a morning’s work. You do not need to be in, and you do not need to move the car unless it is right under the run.
How do you know your gutters need clearing?
You rarely see the blockage itself. You see what it does. Four signs, in the order people usually notice them.
Water spilling over the front edge
In heavy rain it should run to the downpipe, not curtain off the front of the gutter. If it sheets over, something is holding it back further along.
A green or dark streak down the wall
Water going over the edge instead of down the pipe runs onto the render week after week. The stain shows up long before the damp does.
Plants growing out of the gutter
Grass, moss, the odd sycamore seedling. If something is rooted up there, the gutter has been holding silt long enough to make soil.
A damp patch inside, upstairs
This is the expensive one. By the time water is coming through the wall, it has usually been going over the edge for a season or two.
Where I stop
I clear gutters, I don’t repair them. If a bracket has dropped, a joint is leaking or a length has sagged so it holds water permanently, I’ll tell you what I can see and you’ll want a roofer. Clearing a gutter that has come away from the fascia would be taking your money for nothing.
Real reviews, not stock quotes
Both of these mention the gutter work. Every one is on the Facebook page, posted by the customer, in their own words.

“He cleaned all the gutters, pvc fascia board, window and doors. He worked so hard, it’s been years since the PVC was cleaned. There wasn’t any pressure to have a regular window clean or contract.”
