Gutter Cleaning & Roof Inspection in Melbourne

Book a gutter clean with Butler Plumbing

Autumn days are wonderful – the warm glow of the late day sun, snuggling up in warm clothes, and the beautiful colours of autumn leaves. But going into the wetter weather with a full season of autumn leaves blocking your gutter could be a costly mistake. Your gutters collect a build up of leaves and debris that can block your gutters and drains. By having a roof plumber in Melbourne clean your gutters and unblock stormwater you are protecting and extending the life of your building. It will also avoid costly property damage and major inconvenience caused by roof leaks and flooding gutters.

During Autumn, when the leaves are falling, is the best time to get a gutter clean before Winter arrives with its short, cold, and wet days. Our roof plumbers based in Fitzroy can provide gutter cleaning services in Melbourne, Collingwood, Clifton Hill and surrounds.

We guarantee having your roof and gutters cleaned professionally will improve the life of your roofing and reduce the stress of property maintenance. We will even pop you in our scheduled maintenance register to send you a reminder when your next maintenance is due.

Why should I clean my Gutters?

When gutters and downpipes are blocked with leaves and debris, rain water may not drain properly.  Water will overflow causing damage to both inside and outside your property.  Regular maintenance can be completed easily and will save stress and money in the long run.  

Benefits of maintaining a clean gutter include:

1. Peace of mind – a flood or roof leak can spiral out of control, causing major inconvenience and damage to your property. An issue as simple as a tennis ball blocking a down pipe can result in a significant amount of water overflowing into a property causing damage to plaster, flooring, and precious possessions. Gain peace of mind by avoiding this damage.
2. Maintains the look of your home or workplace and protects your investment by avoiding structural problems caused by roof leaks and poor drainage.
3. Extends the lifespan of your roof – identifying small problems such as surface rust or loose nails and removing prior to them causing larger problems means you can keep your roof intact for longer.
4. Avoid pest problems – by clearing your gutters and blocking entry to your roof you can prevent rodents, birds, and possums from making a home in your gutter.
5. Improves drainage –  Ensures efficient water flow, preventing water buildup and potential foundation damage.

You may consider cleaning your gutters yourself, but it can be a challenging and potentially dangerous job. Climbing a ladder and working at heights, particularly when you are inexperienced has significant risks. Hiring professionals comes with many advantages:

• Proper equipment: We have the best tools for reaching difficult areas, ensuring a thorough cleaning.
• Safety: We are trained to work at heights safely, taking all necessary precautions to prevent accidents.
• Convenience: We offer flexible scheduling to minimise disruptions to your day, making it easy to fit gutter cleaning into your routine.
• Expert knowledge: We provide thorough inspections and reports on the condition of your gutters and roof, highlighting any areas of concern.
• Insurance: We have the necessary insurance to cover any incidents, providing peace of mind.

How Much Will The Gutter Clean Cost?

How much gutter cleaning costs depends on a number of factors. Each job will vary, requiring a different level of labour and expertise, which in turn will impact the price.

Factors include:-

• Size of the roof and length of the gutters.
• Access considerations and safety concerns.
• Condition of the roof and amount of debris.
• The type of roofing and the slope of the roof.

However to give you an indication – a typical single storey building will be around $415 – $460 excluding GST.
