Built for Wellington conditions

Wind-blown debris

It is not just leaves here. Wind carries grit, needles and litter onto roofs year round, so gutters fill even on properties with no trees.

Heavy, sudden downpours

Southerlies dump a lot of water quickly. A gutter that copes with drizzle can still overflow into the eaves in a real storm.

Sloping sites

On hillside sections, a blocked downpipe sends water straight at the foundation or the neighbour below. Clear outlets matter more than most people think.

Questions we get asked

How often should gutters be cleaned in Wellington?
Twice a year suits most homes, typically late autumn once the leaves are down and again in spring. Properties under trees or near bush can need three or four clears a year.
What happens if gutters are left blocked?
Water backs up over the fascia and into soffits and wall framing, which turns a small maintenance job into a repair bill. Blocked downpipes also dump water at the foundation, which is a problem on Wellington's sloping sections.
Do you check downpipes as well as gutters?
Yes. We clear and flush the downpipes, check the falls and outlets, and tell you if we spot rust, loose brackets, split joints or leaks that need repair.
Can you do windows at the same time?
Yes. Gutter clearing, window cleaning and an exterior wash are commonly booked together, which saves setting up access twice.
