Gutter cleaning in Cheltenham costs £60–£120 for most standalone jobs, and it's free when we're cleaning your roof. Every job is a vac and hand-clear of the full run, every downpipe rod-tested or flushed, and the debris bagged and taken away. We cover the whole town, from Pittville, Montpellier and Lansdown out to Charlton Kings, Prestbury, Hatherley and Leckhampton.
Cheltenham is a town of trees. The Promenade, Imperial Gardens, Montpellier Gardens, Pittville Park and Sandford Park are all lined with mature planting, and the big gardens in Battledown, Leckhampton and Charlton Kings hold trees that are often taller than the houses. From October to December that canopy comes down into gutters across the town, and a run that was clear in September can be holding a wet mat of leaves by Christmas. If your house backs onto one of the parks, or a neighbour's sycamore or chestnut hangs over the roof, twice a year is a better interval than once.
Leaves are only half of it. On older slate and stone roofs, moss comes away from between the slates and washes down into the gutter, where it packs into a dense, silty layer in the bottom of the trough. From the pavement the gutter looks fine. Up close it's a few inches of compacted material with a film of water sitting on top, which is why a vac on its own doesn't finish the job. We vac the loose material, then hand-clear what's packed into the trough and the outlets.
The housing splits roughly in two. The Regency and early Victorian centre (Montpellier, Lansdown, Pittville, the Suffolks, Bayshill) is mostly slate roofs with cast-iron gutters, hoppers and downpipes, and many terraces have a parapet or valley gutter hidden behind the front wall where nobody can see it from the street. The post-war and later suburbs (Hatherley, Up Hatherley, Warden Hill, Benhall) are mostly PVC half-round or square-line gutters on concrete-tile roofs. Different materials and different problems, but the same full clear.
Each one blocks differently, and each one fails differently when it's left.
Common across Montpellier, Lansdown, Pittville and the older streets off the Bath Road. Cast iron lasts for generations if it's kept clear and painted; left full of wet debris it rusts from the inside and the joints start to weep. We clear it by hand without levering on old brackets, and we note any cracked sections, failed joints or flaking paint on the quote.
Many Regency terraces hide the roof behind a parapet, with a lined gutter running behind it to a hopper at the back or side. These are the gutters that get forgotten, because you can't see them from the ground, and when they block the water tends to find its way into the top-floor ceilings rather than over the front of the house. They can't be cleared with a pole from the pavement; we'll tell you on the quote how we'll reach them.
The bulk of Hatherley, Up Hatherley, Warden Hill and Benhall. PVC doesn't rust, but it sags under the weight of wet debris, and the rubber seals at joints and outlets harden with age, so a heavily loaded run starts dripping at every joint. Most of these are two-storey and cleared from the ground with long-reach poles.
Prestbury, Charlton Kings and Battledown, up towards Cleeve Hill and Leckhampton Hill. Bigger plots, more trees, and often a mix of original cast iron on the main house and PVC on later extensions. These are usually the properties under the most tree cover in town.
Much of central Cheltenham sits inside conservation areas, and a large number of the Regency buildings are listed. Clearing a gutter doesn't need consent: it's maintenance, not alteration. Replacing original cast-iron gutters or downpipes on a listed building with PVC is different. That's an alteration, and it's likely to need listed building consent from Cheltenham Borough Council. If we find a cracked or rusted-through section on a listed property, we'll tell you it needs a like-for-like cast-iron repair rather than a plastic patch, and point you to a specialist.
Height is the other Cheltenham factor. A lot of the town houses in Lansdown and Montpellier are three storeys over a basement, and some are taller. We work up to three storeys with long-reach poles or a roof ladder; above that it goes on scaffold or a MEWP (cherry-picker), and we'll say so on the quote with that cost shown separately.
Parking in the central residents' parking zones can be tight, so if there's a drive or a nearby spot a van can use, add it to the notes on the form.
Whether it's a cast-iron gutter behind a Lansdown parapet or a PVC run on a Warden Hill semi, the job is the same: we don't finish until water runs freely from the gutter down to the drain.
Get my Cheltenham quoteMost standalone gutter clears in Cheltenham are £60–£120. A two-storey semi or terrace with PVC gutters is the kind of job that range is for. A tall Regency town house with a hidden parapet gutter, or a large house in Battledown under heavy tree cover, is priced on the quote, and scaffold or a MEWP is always shown as a separate cost.
What moves the price in Cheltenham:
Free with a roof clean: if you're booking a roof clean in Cheltenham, the gutter clear is included free, done while we're already up there.
How we quote: a free no-obligation price, no deposit, pay only when it's done.
Most standalone gutter clears in Cheltenham are £60–£120. The price depends on the size of the house, the length of guttering, the number of storeys and how blocked the gutters are. Tall town houses that need scaffold or a MEWP have that cost shown separately on the quote. If you're booking a roof clean with us, the gutter clear is free.
Yes. Clearing gutters is routine maintenance and doesn't need listed building consent. Consent matters for repairs and replacements: swapping original cast iron for PVC on a listed building is an alteration and is likely to need consent from Cheltenham Borough Council. If we find damage, we'll flag it on the quote and recommend a like-for-like repair.
Yes. Parapet and valley gutters on Regency terraces can't be reached with a pole from the street, so we reach them with a roof ladder or, on taller buildings, scaffold or a MEWP. The access method is on the quote. They're worth checking even when nothing looks wrong, because when they block the water usually comes into the top floor.
Once a year for most houses. If you're under or beside big trees (backing onto Pittville Park, Sandford Park or the Promenade, or in the larger gardens of Battledown, Leckhampton or Charlton Kings) twice a year is safer, with one clear after the leaves are down.
The clear itself is the same: vac, hand-clear, then every downpipe rod-tested or flushed. What changes is what we check. On cast iron we look for rust, cracked sections and weeping joints, and we don't lever against old brackets. On PVC we look for sagging runs and failed joint seals. Simple realignment and joint sealing we can do ourselves; bigger repairs we refer to a specialist.

Blake and Daniel cleaned my patio and path at the front and did a great job. They were friendly and professional and explained well what they were going to do. I also had a bad dark patch which came up really well which others had failed to remove. I would definitely recommend them if like me you have a patio or driveway that badly needs a thorough clean

We had excellent service from start to finish. The guys were very professional, discussed everything over the phone initially then a visit with the drone to allow accurate quarter and expectation management. On the day they were considerate with the neighbours, did a wonderful job with the roof and gutters and cleared up so well that everything looked far better than when they started. Cannot recommend more highly.

Really impressed with Aquapro Roof cleaning. Very professional guys that done such a good job, that it looks like I’ve had a new roof installed, (after 40yrs of dirt and moss). Blake talked me through everything in detail, and answered any questions I had. Showed me the end result with his drone footage and left house clean and tidy. Highly recommended.
