Why Gutter Clearing is so important

Did you know that your gutters should be cleaned at least once a year? That’s because the gutters accumulate debris like leaves, moss, general dirt, plants and bird waste can build up in your gutters throughout the year. Gutters that aren’t cleared can often lead to complex and expensive repairs caused by leaks, mould or damage to your roof. Without the correct equipment, gutter work can be messy, labour intensive and sometimes dangerous work. 

WHY CHOOSE TOUGHGAARD FOR YOUR GUTTER CLEARING?

We operate the modern SkyVac Atom Hoover which ensures that all of our work is done from the ground using push-fit poles.

This gives us a working reach of up to 30ft to suck up any debris, which is the equivalent to a typical three-storey building.

We use an inspection camera to examine the condition of your gutters before commencing a clean. The same process will be carried out post-clean to ensure that your gutters are clear. Should we find anything unexpected, we will make sure to report this to you and advise for any next steps.

OUR GUTTER CLEARING SERVICE IN 5 STEPS

Step 1: Before our arrival we’ll send a reminder to ensure that there is planned access to where the guttering is located around your property. We will require access to a power supply socket to get the vacuum turned on. This can be located anywhere in the house as we have a 50m extension cable. 

Step 2: We will inspect the condition of your gutters using our high-tech camera to figure out the best way to tackle it.

Step 3: Assemble the vacuum and start from a pre-planned entry 

point which will typically be working away from the downpour gutter pipe.

Step 4: Once all of the guttering has been cleared with care and 

precision, we will use our camera once more to ensure that your gutters are completely clear. If you would like to see this for yourself then this is something we would be more than happy to show you.

Step 5: To leave your property in the best condition possible, we would recommend following up this service with a fascia, soffit and window clean.
