Questions people ask
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Cork?
A bungalow is €60 to €180, a two-storey terrace or semi €70 to €280 and a two-storey detached house €120 to €280. With the downpipes flushed, a semi is €120 to €280. The Cork cost guide has every house.
How often do gutters need cleaning in Cork?
Once a year for most houses. Cork city gets 1,109 mm of rain a year, so a blocked gutter shows itself quickly. Twice a year with trees over the roof or a mossy north-facing slope.
When should I book it?
Late November. The leaves are down, and December is the wettest month in the city at 124 mm. See the Cork gutter year.
Does anyone go on the roof?
No. Gutters are cleaned from a ladder or from the ground with a vacuum on a long pole.
Do you cover outside the city?
Yes: Cork city and 21 towns from Youghal to Bantry and up to Charleville, and the country between them. See all Cork towns.
Is the muck taken away?
It should be. Ask for the written price to say so, and to include the downpipes.
Who comes out?
One gutter cleaning company that covers your part of Cork. One company only, not a list.
How long does a gutter clean take?
Under an hour for a bungalow or a semi with a vacuum. Up to two hours for a large detached house with every side to do.
Do you clean gutters over a conservatory?
Yes. A vacuum pole reaches over the glass from the ground, with nothing leaning on the conservatory.
What if a gutter is leaking?
The cleaner will tell you and photograph it. A leaking joint is a small repair, best done in dry weather.
Can you clean gutters on a three-storey house?
Yes, from the ground with a long pole, or from a tower. It costs more than two storeys.
Are downpipes included?
The outlets are cleared in any clean. Flushing a blocked downpipe right through is sometimes extra: ask for it in the price.
Should I get gutter guards?
Under trees they cut down on leaves, but moss still sits on top and needs brushing off. They don't replace a yearly check.
What does a blocked gutter damage?
The fascia board behind it, the wall below it and, in time, the inside of that wall. Water also sinks paving where it lands.
Do you cover farm houses and rural Cork?
Yes. Put your nearest town or Eircode in the form.
