Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow into eaves, walls and gardens. Regular gutter cleaning
clears leaves and debris so rainwater flows through downpipes as intended. Post your job on The

Gutter Cleaning FAQs
How often should I have my gutters cleaned?
Frequency depends on how many trees are near your roof and local weather. Many homes benefit from
cleaning once or twice a year, while heavily treed sites may need more frequent attention to keep
gutters clear and reduce overflow risk.
Can I clean my gutters myself?
Some owners are comfortable cleaning single storey gutters with safe ladder use, but roof work
can be risky. Professional gutter cleaners bring harnesses, equipment and experience to handle
roof access more safely, especially on higher or steeper roofs.
Will gutter cleaning fix all roof leaks?
Cleaning can resolve leaks caused by blockages and overflow, but leaks from damaged tiles, flashings
or rusted gutters require repair work. You can ask the tradie to note any visible issues that may
need a roofer or plumber to address.
Do gutter guards mean I never need cleaning?
Gutter guards can reduce the amount of debris that enters gutters, but fine material can still
build up over time. Periodic inspection and cleaning is usually still recommended, even with
guards in place.
