The service, in plain English

Gutter cleaning (exterior),
done properly —
end to end.

No jargon, no upsell. Just what you're actually buying, when it's worth doing, and why a professional makes the difference.

What it is

Specialist cleaning of the outside of your gutters — the black 'tiger-stripe' staining caused by atmospheric pollution, road grime and rain-track residue. Done with a soft brush reach-and-pole system and a tailored cleaning solution, then rinsed clear.

Who it's for

Homeowners across Fareham, Gosport, Stubbington, Portchester, Whiteley, Paulsgrove, Cosham, Havant and Leigh Park whose gutters look black, streaky or dirty from the road — especially properties on busy roads or coastal exposures.

When you need it

Most homes benefit every 2–3 years; properties on main roads (A27, A32, A3) or close to the coast tend to need it more often. Best done alongside fascia & soffit cleaning for a complete front-elevation refresh.

Why professional matters

Once a gutter face stains, no amount of jet-washing the wall above it fixes the look. A proper exterior gutter clean is the single biggest cosmetic uplift on a tired front elevation — bigger than painting the door.

What happens if you leave it

Small problem now.
Expensive problem later.

Tiger-stripe staining

The vertical black streaks down the face of every white gutter are airborne particulates bonded with rainwater run-off. They don't wash off in rain — they need agitation.

'My house looks tired'

Most people blame the render or the roof. It's usually the gutter line. Cleaning it transforms how the whole property reads from the road.

Wrong methods damage UPVC

Aggressive jet-washing or harsh chemicals can dull, oxidise or pit white UPVC. Specialist soft cleaning lifts the dirt without harming the plastic.

Pre-sale stress

Estate agents flag dirty gutters in photographs because buyers do. Cleaning them is the cheapest pre-marketing improvement you can make.

How the job runs

A clear, repeatable
5-step process.

  1. 01

    Photo quote

    Send photos of the elevations you want cleaned. A clear written price comes back same-day in most cases.

  2. 02

    Mask & protect

    Plants, garden furniture and entrances protected as needed before work starts.

  3. 03

    Apply specialist cleaner

    Tailored gutter cleaner applied to the soiled faces from a reach-and-pole brush head — enough dwell time to break down the stain bond.

  4. 04

    Agitate + rinse

    Soft-bristle brush agitates the staining. Whole run is rinsed with controlled flow until the water runs clean.

  5. 05

    Walk-around + free re-clean cover

    Final inspection. Any spot that hasn't lifted is re-done on the visit — and the free re-clean promise applies if you spot anything afterwards.

What you actually get

Concrete outcomes.
No fluffy promises.

Like-new finish

Properly cleaned white UPVC gutters come back to their original colour — not 'better than before', actually clean.

No ladder marks

Reach-and-pole keeps ladders off your fascia, gutters and render. No scuff marks, no dropped brackets.

Bigger uplift than paint

On most tired-looking front elevations, gutter cleaning is the highest-impact visual improvement you can buy.

Won't damage UPVC

Specialist soft cleaning won't oxidise, dull or pit the plastic the way hot water and aggressive jet-washing will.

Pairs with fascia/soffit clean

Booked together, the whole roofline is refreshed in one visit — and priced more keenly than two separate trips.

Insurance-backed

Full £1M public liability cover on every job, including any incidental damage during the clean.

Method, materials & detail

The proper standard —
explained.

Exterior gutter cleaning is a stain-removal job, not a debris-removal job. It needs the right chemistry, the right pressure (very little, controlled), and a reach system that gets to the high runs safely.

What 'tiger-striping' actually is

Tiger-stripe staining is hydrocarbon and particulate residue from rainwater laden with atmospheric pollution. It bonds to porous UPVC over years. Plain water doesn't shift it — a surface-active cleaner with enough dwell time does.

Controlled reach-and-pole

Soft brush heads on carbon-fibre poles agitate the surface gently — enough to break the stain bond without damaging the plastic. Pole rinses follow the same path, so no run-off lands on glass.

Why not jet-wash it?

Pressure-washing UPVC at the wrong distance dulls and pits the surface, drives water into joints, and risks damaging brackets and gable trims. Specialist soft cleaning is faster, safer and looks better long-term.

Internal clearing is a separate job

This service cleans the outside faces of the gutters. If your gutters are also blocked, book it alongside internal gutter clearing — they're commonly done together and priced as one visit.

Residential vs commercial

Same equipment and chemistry; commercial elevations get documented RAMS and a written sign-off, plus scheduling out-of-hours where access requires it.
