We understand how important it is to keep your gutters clean and functioning properly. Clogged gutters can cause all kinds of problems, from roof damage and leaks to foundation issues and flooding.

That’s why at Glasgow Gutters, we offer affordable gutter cleaning services that not only ensure your gutters stay clear and efficient, but also provide excellent value for your money. We believe in transparent, upfront pricing—no surprises, no hidden fees, just honest service at a fair price.
In this article, we'll give you a breakdown of the costs associated with gutter cleaning services and explain what goes into our pricing. Whether you're looking for a one-time cleaning or regular maintenance, we’ve got you covered with clear, reasonable rates that suit all budgets.
Why Gutter Cleaning is Important
Before diving into the prices, it’s important to understand why gutter cleaning is so essential. Your gutters are designed to collect rainwater from your roof and direct it away from your home’s foundation. If gutters become clogged with leaves, debris, moss, or other materials, water can’t flow freely, leading to potential damage. Here are a few issues that can arise from neglected gutters:
- Water Damage: Overflowing gutters can cause water to seep into your roof, walls, and foundation, leading to mold, mildew, and structural damage.
- Foundation Issues: Blocked gutters can result in water pooling around your foundation, causing cracks and shifting that can lead to costly repairs.
- Pest Problems: Clogged gutters can attract pests like rodents and insects, which can become a nuisance and even damage your home.
- Erosion: Water spilling over clogged gutters can erode your landscaping, affecting your garden or lawn.
Regular cleaning prevents these problems from occurring and ensures your gutters function properly all year round.
What’s Included in Our Gutter Cleaning Service?
At Glasgow Gutters, our gutter cleaning service isn’t just about clearing out the visible debris. We take a thorough, detail-oriented approach to ensure your gutters are clean and in good working condition. Here’s what you can expect from our gutter cleaning service:
1. Initial Inspection: We begin by inspecting your gutters and roofline to assess the condition. This allows us to identify any problem areas that may need extra attention, such as damaged gutters, broken brackets, or blocked downspouts.
2. Debris Removal: We remove all leaves, twigs, moss, dirt, and other debris from your gutters. This may involve using ladders, gloves, and special tools to reach higher areas safely.
3. Downspout Clearing: We ensure your downspouts are clear and free of obstructions. If necessary, we use professional-grade tools to flush the downspouts to ensure water flows freely.
4. Gutter Check: After cleaning, we’ll do a quick check to ensure there are no leaks, cracks, or signs of wear and tear that may need repair.
5. Cleanup: We always clean up after ourselves, ensuring your property is left as tidy as we found it—no debris, no mess. We take care to remove any leaves or dirt that may have fallen to the ground during the cleaning process.
Pricing for Gutter Cleaning Services
Now, let’s talk about the cost of gutter cleaning. At Glasgow Gutters, we offer competitive pricing designed to fit a variety of budgets. We base our pricing on a few key factors, including the size of your property, the condition of your gutters, and how often you need cleaning. Here’s a breakdown of how we price our services:
1. Standard Pricing
For standard gutter cleaning, we typically charge based on the size of your home (i.e., how many linear feet of gutters need to be cleaned) and how much debris has built up. Our prices are transparent and affordable, and we provide a clear, upfront estimate before we start any work.
- Small Homes (1–2 storeys): If you live in a smaller home, like a bungalow or a two-storey house, you can expect to pay anywhere between £60 and £120 for a thorough gutter cleaning. This price usually covers up to 20–30 feet of guttering.
- Medium Homes (2–3 storeys): For larger homes with more guttering to clean, the price typically ranges from £120 to £180. This would be for homes with 30–50 feet of gutters to clean.
- Large Homes (3+ storeys): For larger properties or homes with complex gutter systems, the cost can range from £180 to £250 or more. This may also include extra services like clearing out gutters that are difficult to access or require additional safety precautions.
2. Additional Services and Factors That Affect Pricing
While the basic cleaning process is straightforward, there are a few additional factors that could affect the final price:
- Condition of Gutters: If your gutters are severely clogged with years of debris or if there are signs of corrosion or damage, this could increase the price of the cleaning. We may need to use additional tools or spend more time on the job to clear stubborn blockages.
- Gutter Guard Installation: Some homeowners choose to install gutter guards to prevent debris buildup and reduce the frequency of cleanings. If you choose this service, we’ll provide a separate quote based on the type and size of the guards needed.
- Extra Large Properties: For properties with extensive rooflines or multiple levels, we will assess the scope of work and provide a customized quote. The larger the property, the more time and resources are required, so the price may go up accordingly.
- Downspout Cleaning: If we need to clean or flush out the downspouts separately, there may be an additional charge. This is often necessary if downspouts are blocked with debris, leaves, or even bird nests.
3. Frequency of Gutter Cleaning
How often you need gutter cleaning depends on a few factors, including the type of environment around your home and the season. Here’s a general guideline for how often gutter cleaning should be done:
- Twice a Year: For most homeowners, cleaning gutters twice a year—once in the spring and once in the autumn—is usually sufficient. This will cost around £60–£250 per year, depending on the size of your home and the amount of debris.
- Quarterly or Seasonal Cleanings: If you live in an area with a lot of trees or experience heavy rainfall, you may need to clean your gutters more often. In such cases, a quarterly cleaning may be recommended, especially in the fall when leaves tend to accumulate.
- One-Time Cleaning: If you’re just looking for a one-time gutter cleaning, we offer flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing. The price will depend on the size of the job and any additional services you might need.
