Gloucester gutters, specifically

What actually blocks Gloucester gutters.

Gloucester sits low in the Severn Vale, and the city knows what heavy rain does. In the July 2007 floods a lot of the damage across the county came from surface water, where rain simply fell faster than drains could carry it away. No gutter stops a flood like that, but plenty of everyday water damage in the city is smaller and avoidable: a part-blocked gutter overflowing in a summer downpour, water running down the brickwork behind a blocked downpipe, and a damp patch appearing inside months later.

On the estates, the main culprit is moss. The concrete-tile roofs across Abbeydale, Abbeymead, Matson, Tuffley and Quedgeley grow a lot of it in this damp air, and every heavy shower washes clumps off the tiles and into the gutter, where it settles into a thick, silty layer and slowly closes up the outlets. That's why a roof clean and a gutter clear go together, and why the gutter clear is free when we do the roof.

Nearer Robinswood Hill, Gloucester Park and Alney Island, and in older suburbs with mature gardens such as Hucclecote and Barnwood, it's leaves as much as moss. Those are the houses where once a year often isn't enough.

What we clear in Gloucester

The gutters we find on Gloucester houses.

The city's housing changes street by street, and so does the job.

Victorian and Edwardian terraces

Kingsholm, Tredworth, Barton, Linden and the streets around the centre. Most of the original cast iron has long been replaced with PVC, but the layout is what makes these awkward: downpipes shared between neighbours, and a rear offshoot on each house with its own short gutter and downpipe dropping into a small back yard. We clear the front, the main rear run and the offshoot. That back gutter is the one most often missed.

Post-war and 1970s–90s estates

Matson, Podsmead, Tuffley, Abbeydale, Abbeymead and Longlevens. Mostly PVC half-round or square-line on concrete-tile roofs, much of it now decades old. Old PVC goes brittle and the joint seals harden, so a run carrying wet moss often drips at every joint. We clear, flush, and tell you about any seals or brackets that have given up.

Newer homes at Kingsway, Hempsted and Quedgeley

Modern PVC, often with gutters in awkward spots: above conservatories, at garage junctions, or over a neighbour's parking space. Newer houses still block, usually from moss and grit off the roof. These are mostly two-storey and cleared from the ground with long-reach poles.

Flats, conversions and commercial buildings

Converted town houses, blocks of flats and larger buildings around the Docks and the city centre. Anything above three storeys goes on scaffold or a MEWP, priced separately on the quote. For shared buildings, before-and-after camera footage is available on request for the managing agent or freeholder.

Access in Gloucester

Back lanes, shared downpipes and where to park the van.

The terraced streets take the most planning. Many rear gutters can only be reached along a narrow back lane, through a side passage, or through the house itself, and there isn't always room to stand a ladder in a small yard. Tell us on the form how the back of the house is reached. It changes the method, and it saves a wasted trip.

Shared downpipes need a mention too. If your gutter drains into a downpipe you share with next door, a blockage lower down backs water up into both gutters. We rod-test every downpipe from the top as standard; if the blockage turns out to be in the underground drain rather than the pipe, we'll tell you, because that's a drainage job rather than a gutter job.

Parking fills up fast around the city centre, and in Kingsholm on match days at the rugby ground. If there's a drive we can use, or you know when the street is quiet, add it to the notes.

What's included

The same full clear on every Gloucester job.

Whether it's a shared downpipe on a Tredworth terrace or a new-build at Kingsway, the job is the same: we don't finish until water runs freely from the gutter down to the drain.

Gloucester common questions

What Gloucester customers ask about gutter cleaning.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Gloucester?

Most standalone gutter clears in Gloucester are £60–£120, depending on the size of the house, the length of guttering, access to the back and how blocked the gutters are. Buildings over three storeys that need scaffold or a MEWP have that cost shown separately. If we're cleaning your roof, the gutter clear is free.

I live in a terrace. Do you clear the back gutter too?

Yes. We clear the full run, front and back, including the gutter on any rear offshoot or kitchen extension. On terraces the back is often the hardest part to reach, so let us know how it's accessed (back lane, side passage or through the house) when you ask for a quote.

My downpipe is shared with next door. Can you still clear it?

Yes. We rod-test or flush every downpipe from gutter level down to the drain as standard, and clearing a shared downpipe helps both houses. If the blockage turns out to be in the underground drain rather than the downpipe, we'll tell you, as that needs a drainage contractor.

Why do my gutters keep filling up with moss?

Because it's coming off the roof. Concrete-tile roofs in Gloucester's damp air grow a lot of moss, and rain washes it into the gutters. Clearing the gutter deals with the symptom; cleaning the roof and treating it with biocide deals with the source. The gutter clear is free when we clean your roof.

Do you clear gutters on flats and managed buildings?

Yes. For blocks, conversions and commercial buildings we quote the access method separately (scaffold or a MEWP above three storeys), and before-and-after camera footage is available on request for the managing agent's records. For larger buildings, use our commercial enquiry form.

Do you cover Quedgeley, Hardwicke and Churchdown?

Yes. As well as the city we cover Quedgeley, Kingsway, Hardwicke, Hempsted, Highnam, Innsworth, Churchdown and Brockworth. Send your postcode on the quote form and we'll confirm.
