Why it happens
Two houses of the same size can differ by hours. A bungalow with a clear frontage and a three-storey terrace with a rear alley and a conservatory in the way are not the same job.
What to do about it
These are the things we actually price against.
- Total run length, including rear elevations, extensions and outbuildings
- Height, because upper storeys need longer pole sections and slower work
- Access, such as rear alleys, locked yards, conservatories and neighbouring gardens
- Debris load, since compacted moss takes far longer than loose leaf litter
- Whether downpipes need clearing rather than just testing
- Add-ons like fascia and soffit washing while we are already set up
- Whether it is a one-off or a repeat annual visit, which we price better
The mistake to avoid
Be careful with a very low headline price that covers the front elevation only. The rear is usually where the trees are and where the blockage actually is.
How we handle it
Blocked gutters cause damp, damaged fascias and expensive repairs. We clear, flush and inspect gutters using safe, ground-based vacuum systems — no ladders leaning on your property.
- Ground-based vacuum with carbon poles
- Pole-mounted inspection camera
- Biocide flush on moss build-up
