Gutter Cleaning and Repair in Cork

Sound familiar

These are the signs homeowners usually notice first.

• Water spilling over the gutter edge instead of running down the pipe
• A green trail or damp patch on the wall under the gutter
• The gutter visibly sagging or pulling away from the fascia board
• Water sitting in the gutter instead of draining away after rain
• Leaves and moss packed solid into the corners
• A damp smell or patch appearing inside near an outside wall

   Photos and a fixed price the same day

   You get photos of anything we find sent to your phone, and one fixed price in writing before anything starts.

What it costs

A short run of guttering that just needs clearing costs a lot less than a longer run with sagging sections and damaged joints, so we look first before pricing it.

What changes the price is the length of guttering, how many downpipes there are, how high and accessible it is, and how much repair work is needed alongside the clean out.

What changes the price

• Length of guttering and number of downpipes
• Height and access, including whether a ladder or scaffold is needed
• How blocked the gutters are
• Number of brackets, joints or sections that need repair or replacement

Questions people ask

How do I know if my gutters need cleaning?

The clearest sign is water spilling over the edge in heavy rain instead of running down the downpipe. Leaves packed into the corners, sagging sections, or a green trail on the wall underneath are all signs too.

Can blocked gutters actually damage my house?

Yes. Water spilling down the wall instead of away from it is one of the most common causes of damp on Cork homes, so leaving a blocked gutter for a long time can cause more expensive problems than the gutter itself.

Do I need to be home while you clean the gutters?

Not necessarily, as long as we can access them. We will ring before we start and send photos and the price to your phone the same day.

Do you repair gutters as well as clean them?

Yes. Loose brackets, sagging sections, leaking joints and damaged lengths of guttering are all part of the same visit if they are needed.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

It depends on how many trees are near the house. A gutter near overhanging trees can need clearing more often, one in an open spot can go longer. We can tell you what is realistic for your house after a look.

What happens to the downpipes if they are blocked?

We clear them from the top and check the base for blockages too. A downpipe that stays blocked just pushes the problem back up into the gutter, so it needs to run freely for the rest of the work to actually fix anything.
