Gutter cleaning in Cirencester starts from £90 as a standalone job, 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 the centre and Watermoor out to Chesterton, The Beeches, Stratton and The Steadings, plus Siddington, Preston and the nearby villages.
Cirencester's older roofs are steep. A Cotswold stone-slate roof is usually pitched at around 50 to 55 degrees, and before gutters were common the large stones at the eaves simply overhung the wall and threw the rain clear. The gutters came later, often on brackets fixed straight into the stone. On a roof that steep, heavy rain reaches the gutter fast, so a part-blocked outlet doesn't just drip: the whole run overflows down the face of the wall. Cotswold stone is porous, so a wall that's soaked every time it rains stays damp, stains dark below the gutter and is open to frost damage in a hard winter.
Cirencester also has a lot of big trees close to houses. Cirencester Park, wooded on its north and west sides with mature beech, borders Park Street and Park Lane. The Abbey Grounds have mature trees with the Churn running through, and there are tree-lined banks along the River Walk, City Bank and the eastern edge of Watermoor. Houses near any of them take a heavy leaf load each autumn, on top of the moss that washes off the roofs all winter.
Moving out from the Market Place, the old centre is limestone under stone slate, Watermoor is mostly Victorian terraces in brick and limestone under Welsh slate and clay tile, and The Beeches, Kingshill, Chesterton and Bowling Green are post-war and newer estates with PVC gutters. The Steadings, south of Chesterton, is still being built.
From seventeenth-century stone houses to homes still being built, all within a couple of miles of the Market Place.
Dyer Street, Castle Street, Dollar Street, Park Street and around the Market Place. Many of the older town buildings hide part of the roof behind a parapet, with a lined gutter running behind it to a hopper head at the top of the downpipe, and Cirencester still has a good number of old moulded lead hoppers. You can't see a parapet gutter from the street, so it tends to be forgotten until a top-floor ceiling stains.
Gloucester Street, Coxwell Street, Thomas Street and the streets around them. On the older stone-slate roofs, the valleys where two slopes meet may be swept in stone rather than lined with lead. Moss, grit worn off the slates and leaves gather at the foot of those valleys and in the gutters below, which are often cast iron on brackets set into the wall. We don't walk on stone slates.
Tower Street, Chester Street, The Avenue, Victoria Road and the streets between them. Brick and limestone under Welsh slate or clay tile, often with bay windows that have their own small roof and gutter, and some original cast-iron rainwater goods. The terraces have long, narrow back gardens that meet the gardens of the next street, so the rear gutter is usually reached through the house or along a shared path. We clear the front, the back and the bays.
The Beeches, Kingshill, Chesterton, Bowling Green and Stratton, plus the new phases at The Steadings. Standard PVC on concrete-tile roofs, mostly two storeys and cleared from the ground with long-reach poles. On the established estates the usual cause of blockages is moss washed off the roof. On the newest houses it's more often grit and mortar left over from the build.
Much of Cirencester is covered by conservation areas (the town centre, Cirencester Park, Gloucester Street and River Walk, and Cirencester South, which takes in Watermoor and the Beeches side of town) and many older buildings are listed. Clearing gutters is maintenance and doesn't need consent. Replacing them on a listed building, swapping cast iron or lead for plastic or changing the profile, is likely to need listed building consent from Cotswold District Council. If we find a cracked section or a split hopper, we'll recommend a like-for-like repair.
On Gloucester Street the houses are two and three storeys and built straight off the back of the pavement, so the front gutter is worked from the footway. Backs are often reached through a narrow passage or one of the old yards behind the street, and on the narrowest medieval streets, such as Coxwell Street, there may be nowhere to stop a van outside.
Parking in the centre is limited and several nearby streets are in residents' permit zones, so if there's a drive, a yard or a spot a van can use, add it to the notes on the form. We work up to three storeys with long-reach poles or a roof ladder; above that, or where a ladder can't stand safely on the pavement, it goes on scaffold or a MEWP, priced separately.
Whether it's a lead hopper behind a Dollar Street parapet or a PVC run on a Beeches semi, the job is the same: we don't finish until water runs freely from the gutter down to the drain.
Get my Cirencester quoteStandalone gutter clears in Cirencester start from £90. A two-storey semi or terrace with PVC gutters and a road outside is the kind of job that price is for. Parapet gutters, tall town houses on the pavement edge and houses where the back is only reached through a passage are priced on the quote, with scaffold or a MEWP always shown separately.
What moves the price in Cirencester:
Free with a roof clean: if you're booking a roof clean in Cirencester, the gutter clear is included free, done while we're already up there.

Standalone gutter clears in Cirencester start from £90. The number of storeys, the length of guttering, how the back is reached and how blocked the gutters are all affect the price, and scaffold or a MEWP is shown separately if it's needed. If we're cleaning your roof, the gutter clear is free.
No. Clearing gutters and downpipes is routine maintenance and doesn't need listed building consent. Replacing them is different: swapping cast iron or lead for plastic, or changing the profile, on a listed building is likely to need consent from Cotswold District Council. If we find damage, we'll flag it on the quote and recommend a like-for-like repair.
Usually not. Most gutters are cleared from a ladder or with long-reach poles from the ground. Where we do need roof access, for a parapet gutter or the foot of a valley, we use a roof ladder hooked over the ridge to spread the weight, because Cotswold stone slates can crack underfoot.
Yes. Old lead is soft and hoppers often split at the seams, so we clear them out by hand rather than forcing rods through, then flush the downpipe below. If the hopper or the pipe is cracked or leaking, we'll note it on the quote. Lead repairs are specialist work, so we'll refer you on rather than patch it.
Once a year for most houses, ideally after the leaves are down in late autumn. If you back onto Cirencester Park, the Abbey Grounds, the River Walk or the tree belts on the Watermoor side of town, twice a year is safer.
Yes. As well as the town we cover Siddington, Preston, Baunton, Daglingworth, South Cerney, Kemble and the Ampneys. Send your postcode on the quote form and we'll confirm.

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.
