Gutter Cleaning Service
Blocked gutters are one of the most common causes of damp and water damage to a property. If they’re left full of debris, rainwater can overflow and start damaging your home without you noticing until visible issues appear.
We provide a complete gutter cleaning service that includes both gutter clearing (removal of debris inside) and external cleaning (removal of dirt from the outside).
Many people use the term “gutter cleaning” to describe both, but they are different parts of the job. We offer both services, separately or together, ensuring your gutters function properly and look clean.
We welcome you to start your no obligation quotation by calling us on 0115 795 9532, emailing us at hello@peakexteriors.co.uk or by filling out the following form.
What Our Gutter Cleaning Service Includes
We follow a clear, consistent process to make sure every job is completed properly.
Gutter Clearing
The most important part of the service is clearing debris from inside the gutters.
This includes removing:
- Leaves
- Moss
- Dirt
- Any other materials that are causing blockages
We also clear downpipes and make sure water flows freely through the system.
External Gutter Cleaning
We clean the outside of gutters, downpipes, soffits and fascias to remove dirt, staining and algae.
This improves the overall appearance of your property and restores the look of your guttering.
Full Service Overview:
- Internal gutter clearing
- Downpipe unblocking
- External gutter cleaning
- Downpipe cleaning
- Cleaning of soffits and fascias
- Flow check to confirm drainage

Our Gutter Clearing Process

Work is carried out safely using the most appropriate method for each property.
Attention to detail is important, as even small blockages can cause issues if missed.
Why Gutter Clearing Is Important
Gutters are designed to direct water away from your home. When they become blocked, water overflows and can cause:
- Damp inside the property
- Damage to brickwork
- Roofline deterioration
- Water pooling around the foundations
A common issue is gutters that look clear from the ground but are completely blocked inside.
We often see problems after heavy rain when water starts overflowing, as the system is already full – in many cases, this is when the issue first becomes noticeable.
Left untreated, blocked gutters can quickly turn into more serious and costly issues.
Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning
You may need a gutter cleaning service if you notice:
- Water spilling over during rain
- Water dripping from your gutters
- Moss or plants growing in gutters
- Staining on external walls
- Gutters looking full or sagging
- Downpipes not draining
It’s best to deal with these early before they lead to more serious damage.
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleared?
Most properties benefit from gutter clearing once per year.
More frequent clearing may be needed if:
- The property is near trees
- Moss builds up on the roof
- There have been previous blockages
- Heavy rain regularly causes overflow
Regular maintenance helps avoid more costly repairs later.
