Gutters are one of those things that get ignored until something goes wrong. By the time they’re visibly overflowing, the damage may already be happening, water backing up under the roofline, soaking into fascia boards, pooling against foundations, or leaking into the ceiling.
We clear all debris from your gutters, leaves, pine needles, moss, dirt and anything else that’s built up, then flush them through to check they’re draining freely and that downpipes are clear. If we spot anything that looks like it needs attention, we’ll let you know on the day.
We work on all property types including homes, rental properties, holiday homes, and commercial buildings, and we handle everything from single-storey houses through to larger multi-level properties.
Properties surrounded by native bush, pines, or deciduous trees, which describes a huge number of Queenstown homes, accumulate debris in their gutters much faster than properties in open locations. Autumn is particularly bad as leaf fall combines with the first heavy rains of the season. Left unchecked through winter, that debris compacts, holds moisture, and can lead to moss and rust in steel gutters over time.
We recommend most Queenstown properties get their gutters cleared at least once a year, and twice a year for properties under heavy tree cover.
Many insurance policies include a maintenance obligation, meaning if a leak or water damage occurs and your gutters were obviously neglected, a claim can be declined or reduced. Getting them cleared regularly is a small, straightforward cost compared to what a water damage repair can run to.
If you manage multiple properties or own a holiday home and aren’t on-site regularly, gutter maintenance is easy to overlook. We work with property managers across Queenstown to include gutter clearing as part of scheduled property maintenance, so nothing gets missed and everything is documented.
Most gutter cleans take an hour or two depending on the size and condition of the property. We turn up, get on with it, and leave everything clean, no debris left on the roof, no mess on the lawn. For most properties we can give you a quote over the phone or on a quick site visit.
Get in touch and we’ll sort a time to come out and get your gutters cleared.
