A gutter clean sounds like a small job until the first big autumn downpour and water is sheeting off the eaves onto the pointing below. Leaves, moss, seed cases and slate grit build up over the year, gutters lose their fall, and by winter the overflow starts eating into brickwork and window frames. Most UK homeowners now book a clean once every 12-18 months as basic maintenance - the same cadence as boiler servicing.

The two mainstream methods are the traditional ladder-and-scoop approach and the newer wet-vac from ground level (SkyVac, Gutter Vac, industrial reach-and-wash gear). Vacuum systems have taken over because the operator stays on the ground - no scaffold, no ladder standoff scratches, faster on a two-storey, and the camera-on-a-pole means you get photo evidence of before and after. Traditional ladder work is still cheaper on a bungalow or single-storey extension.
