It is usually not necessary for you to be home. As long as we can access the premises and a garden hose connection, we can get the job done. We will always take before and after pictures to show you the previous condition of the gutters and the quality of the work completed.

Our preference is always to clean from the roof, rather than from a ladder. This approach is faster, safer and avoids disturbing gardens by repositioning the ladder. For some roof types (polycarbonate, slate, very brittle or very steep roofs) it will be necessary to clean the gutters from the ladder rather than from the roof.

Step 1 – Set-up: Ladders are secured with straps and anti-slip devices so that the roof can be accessed safely. As required, temporary anchor points are installed to facilitate the use of a safety harness. This does not damage the roof in any way.

Step 2 – Cleaning: All leaves, weeds, soil and other debris are removed from the gutters. Cleaning is done by hand or vacuum depending on what is in the gutters. When cleaning by hand, debris is collected into bags, rather than thrown to the ground.

Step 3 –  Rinsing: Gutters are rinsed down with water to check the flow and to check for any blocked downpipes. Any blockages in downpipes can be cleared.

Step 4 – Clean-up:  Any mess from the cleaning process will be cleared up. All waste taken away, disposed of in your green bins, or left on-site as compost if you prefer.

Step 5 – Inspection: The roof is inspected for any potential issues such as broken tiles, excessive rust, potential leaks etc. and any identified issues will be repo0rted back to you. Often, minor issues such as a broken tile can be resolved on the spot at no extra cost.

No. While some providers may simply use a leaf blower of throw muck from the gutters down to the ground, the Reliance Gutter Cleaning process ensures the outside of your home will be left as clean and tidy as before.
