Cleanwave → Gutter Cleaning

Gutter cleaning in Melbourne’s south east.

Blocked gutters don’t announce themselves. They overflow behind the fascia, soak the eaves and rot the timber, and you find out when the ceiling stains. We clear them by hand, flush the downpipes, take the debris with us and send you the photos. From $220.

Why it matters

The damage happens where you can’t see it

Water goes backwards

A full gutter doesn’t spill neatly off the front. Water backs up under the roof edge and runs down the inside of the fascia, into the eaves and down the wall cavity. By the time a stain shows on the ceiling, the timber has been wet for months.

Wet debris rusts the gutter out

Leaf litter holds water against the metal permanently instead of letting it drain. That is what turns a gutter that had fifteen years left into one that needs replacing — and replacing gutters costs many times what cleaning them does.

It’s on the fire-season checklist

Clearing roofs and gutters of leaf litter is part of the standard bushfire preparation advice in Victoria, because embers land in dry debris. If you’re in the outer east or south east, this is worth doing before summer rather than after.

None of this is urgent until it is. The honest version: if your gutters were done in the last year and you have no trees over the roof, you can probably wait. If you can’t remember the last time, or there are gums nearby, it’s overdue. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you straight.

How we do it

Cleared by hand, flushed, and the mess leaves with us

Cleared by hand

Debris is lifted out into bags, not blown over your garden, your solar panels and your neighbour’s car. It takes longer. It’s the difference between a clean job and a relocated mess.

Downpipes checked

A clear gutter feeding a blocked downpipe is still a blocked system. We check each one and clear what we can reach — if a pipe is blocked underground, we tell you rather than quietly leaving it.

Flushed and watched

We run water through and watch where it goes. That is how leaks, sagging brackets and rusted sections get found while someone is still up there to point at them.

Photos the same day

Before and after, plus a photo of anything we found that you should know about. You don’t need to be home or climb anything to see the result.

On roofs that need to be walked, we go up with a harness and anchor line. Falls from height are the main way people get seriously hurt doing this — it is the reason to pay someone rather than borrow a ladder.

Steep or difficult accessquoted on site

Ranges, not one number, because a steep two-storey roof under gum trees is a different job to a flat single storey in the open. You get one fixed figure in writing before we start, and it doesn’t move unless you ask for something extra. No GST applicable.

Doing the solar panels too? Book two or more services in the same visit and save 10%. Gutters and solar panels on the same day is our most common combination — one trip, one price, one clean-up.

FAQ

What people ask before booking

How often should gutters be cleaned?
Once a year for most Melbourne homes. Twice a year if you have gums or deciduous trees over the roof — those fill a gutter in a single season. If there are no trees anywhere near, every couple of years is usually enough.
When is the best time of year?
Late autumn, once the leaves have finished dropping and before the winter rain arrives — that is when a blocked gutter does the most damage. The second window is late spring, before the fire season, to clear dry litter off the roof and out of the gutters.
Do you take the debris away?
Yes. It goes into bags and leaves with us. We don’t blow it over the garden, the driveway or the solar panels, and we don’t leave a pile by the bin for you to deal with.
What if a downpipe is blocked?
We check every downpipe and clear what we can reach from the top. If the blockage is underground or in a section we can’t get to, we tell you where it is and what it would take — we don’t charge for work we didn’t do or leave you thinking it’s fixed when it isn’t.
Can you clean gutters with a gutter guard fitted?
Usually yes, but it depends on the type. Clip-in mesh can be lifted and refitted; some screwed-down systems can’t be removed without damage. Tell us what you have, or send a photo, and we’ll say honestly before you book.
Do I need to be home?
No, as long as we can get side access to the roofline. We photograph the job before and after and send it the same day.
What if it rains on the day?
We reschedule at no cost. Wet roofs are unsafe to work on and we won’t put anyone up there.
Are you insured for working at height?
Yes. $5 million public liability, and we’re happy to send the certificate of currency before we start. Worth asking any gutter cleaner for it — this is work where it matters.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Roughly 25 km around Noble Park: Dandenong, Springvale, Clayton, Mulgrave, Keysborough, Oakleigh, Glen Waverley, Moorabbin, Bentleigh, Cheltenham, Mordialloc, Berwick, Narre Warren, Rowville, Ferntree Gully and the surrounding suburbs. Just outside? Ask anyway.
