If your gutters haven’t been cleaned in a while, you’re not alone. Gutters are often an afterthought—until an overflowing gutter or sneaky leak creates a real headache. You might be wondering: what is the cost of
professional gutter cleaning, and is it really worth the investment? The answer depends on a few key factors, but understanding them can help you make the right choice for your property—whether it’s your home or your
business.

Understanding Gutter Cleaning Costs Across the UK

Gutter cleaning prices in the UK can vary depending on your property type, its size, ease of access, and your location. On average, the cost for most domestic properties falls between £50 and £150. For commercial
buildings or larger, more complex properties, prices typically start at £200 and can exceed £500 for multi-storey or industrial sites.

Typical price breakdown:

 

• Small terraced house: £50–£70

• Semi-detached house: £60–£90

• Detached house: £80–£150

• Commercial buildings: £200–£500+, depending on site complexity

 

If you’ve been asking “how much does gutter cleaning cost in the UK?”, the clearest answer is: it depends—but these averages offer a useful guide as you compare options. Regional variations also occur, with London and
the South East generally costing more than the North or Midlands.

 

Key Factors That Influence the Price

Not all gutter cleaning jobs are the same. Here are the main variables that can affect your final quote:
Property size and height: Larger and taller properties require more time and specialist equipment.
Access difficulty: Gutters above conservatories or extensions, or those with limited access, may need extra safety equipment or time.

Level of debris: Heavily clogged gutters demand more work than those with minor leaf build-up.
Location: Urban areas, especially London, tend to have higher labour and operational costs.
Commercial and industrial properties may also require additional health and safety precautions—not just ladders, but cherry pickers, scaffolding, and even specialist staff trained for high-level work.

If you want a more precise estimate for your location, it’s always worth getting a bespoke quote from a trusted provider of gutter cleaning services.

Why Choosing a Professional Service Is Worth It

DIY gutter cleaning can seem like a tempting way to save a few pounds, but there are several reasons to consider a professional, fully insured company:

Professional service advantages:
Trained staff equipped with the right tools for hard-to-reach places
Compliance with health and safety standards (IPAF, DBS checked, and more)
Full insurance in case of damage or accidents
Safe, eco-friendly practices that can protect your property and the environment
Transparent pricing with no hidden costs

DIY drawbacks:
Physical risk, especially on ladders or for multi-storey properties
Lack of professional tools may miss hidden blockages
No insurance cover if things go wrong
Time-consuming and potentially messy

 

Professional gutter cleaning doesn't just remove debris. It includes a thorough inspection to catch early signs of damage or leaks that, if spotted early, can prevent expensive repairs down the line. At Cleancladding, we also
commit to using ZERO Chemicals wherever possible, minimising environmental impact and ensuring both your safety and ours.

 

The Added Value of Certification and Safety

What to expect from a reputable provider:
IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) licensing for work at height
DBS-checked staff, essential for schools or sensitive commercial settings
Comprehensive public liability insurance
Clear documentation of risk assessments and method statements
Eco-conscious waste disposal and cleaning methods

Use minimal or no chemicals
Prioritise responsible water usage
Dispose of moss, leaves, and debris in a sustainable manner
