Blocked gutters are one of the most avoidable causes of water damage in Auckland homes. When gutters can't drain, water backs up, spills over the edge, and tracks down exterior walls — causing paint damage, timber rot, and eventually water ingress into wall cavities. A clean once or twice a year prevents all of it. Fixed pricing by storey and bedroom count, confirmed before we start.
What Happens When Gutters Block
A blocked gutter doesn't just overflow — it creates a chain of problems that gets expensive fast. Water pooling in gutters adds weight that causes gutters to pull away from the fascia. Overflow down the exterior wall saturates the timber behind weatherboards and cladding. Over time that moisture causes timber rot, paint failure, and eventually water ingress into wall cavities — at which point you're looking at a repair bill several times what a regular gutter clean would have cost over the same period.
In Auckland's native-tree-heavy suburbs — Titirangi, Epsom, Remuera, Albany, and anywhere near large pohutukawa, kauri or puriri — gutters can block significantly faster than the national average. We know the suburbs and the trees. If your property is in a high-debris area, we'll tell you honestly whether once or twice a year is the right frequency for your situation.
What We Do on the Day
- All debris removed — leaves, twigs, moss, compacted sludge and seed pods
- Gutters flushed with water to clear fine debris and confirm correct fall direction
- Downpipes flushed and flow checked — blocked downpipes are the most common cause of overflow
- All debris bagged and taken away — we don't leave a pile of wet leaves behind
How Often Should You Clean?
- Once a year — most Auckland homes, ideally in autumn before the wet season
- Twice a year — properties surrounded by large trees or with a history of blockages
- Now — visible plant growth in gutters, water spilling over during rain, or not cleaned in 18+ months

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take?
A single-storey home typically takes 45–60 minutes. A two-storey home takes 60–90 minutes. Heavily blocked gutters with compacted debris take a little longer.
Do I need to be home?
No — as long as we have access to all sides of the property. Leave gate codes when booking and we'll take care of the rest.
My downpipes are blocked — can you clear them?
Yes. Flushing and clearing downpipes is included in every clean. If a blockage is structural or underground, we'll advise what further work is needed.
How do I know if my gutters need cleaning?
Water spilling over the edge during rain, visible plant growth, or sagging sections are the most obvious signs. If you can't remember the last clean, it's probably time.
