Gutter cleaning near me in Edinburgh
Blocked gutters are one of the most common and most preventable property problems in Edinburgh. A clean once or twice a year stops rainwater spilling down your walls, protects fascias and foundations, and costs much less than repairing damp. We provide ground-based gutter vacuum cleaning across Edinburgh and the wider City of Edinburgh area.
Local homes and gutters
Homes in Edinburgh are typical of Scotland: sandstone tenements, granite villas, four-in-a-block flats, post-war council estates and modern kit-built homes. Older properties near the centre of Edinburgh often have shallow half-round or ogee gutters that fill up quickly, while newer estates tend to have deeper square-line uPVC systems with fewer, narrower outlets that block easily.
Rainfall, trees and weather in Edinburgh
Edinburgh gets roughly 1100 mm of rain a year. Rain is frequent, especially in the west, winters bring hard frosts and occasional snow load, and tall tenement gutters can only be reached from the ground with the right equipment. The trees we most often find in Edinburgh gutters are sycamore, birch, rowan and Scots pine, along with moss washed down from the roof tiles. If you have had overflowing gutters in the past, a clean every 12 months normally solves it.
