Question 1

How long does it take to clean gutters?

Accepted Answer

The average time for cleaning gutters will depend on the size of your property, the length of guttering and the condition of the gutters. Access to the gutters will also affect how long it takes to clean them.

As a general rule, you can expect it to take somewhere in the region of 30-90 minutes to clean gutters of an average sized property. The main factors that will affect the total time it takes to clean the gutters are:

-   The total length of guttering that needs to be cleaned

-   How easy it is for the gutter cleaners to access the gutters for all parts of the property

-   The amount of dirt, moss and debris that’s built up in the gutters

-   Any repairs that needs to be carried out as part of the cleaning process
