When should I get my gutters cleaned? It’s fairly easy to tell when your gutters need a clean. Gutters should be able to handle most normal periods of rainfall, so when gutters begin to drip or completely overflow, its usually a sign that they need a clean or professional inspection. Sometimes birds will also hang around your roof to make the most of the pooling water caused by blocked guttering. As a general rule, gutters should be cleaned at least once a year. The best time to clean is during autumn or late winter after all nearby trees have shed their leaves. As attractive as the colours of autumn are, all those falling leaves are sure to end up in your guttering system However, in some cases, gutters will need to be cleaned more than just once a year. Some trees, such as pine and eucalyptus trees, will shed throughout the year—particularly when stressed during the hot summer months. Having leaves in gutters during summer is a fire hazard, especially in bushfire prone areas, and is more than enough of a reason to schedule in a gutter clean.

Why should I leave gutter cleaning to the professionals? First of all, cleaning gutters yourself is not much fun. When you find some free time, isn’t there something else you would be rather doing than cleaning out your gutters? A professional service is much quicker, easier and hassle free than doing it yourself. Secondly, it’s much safer. Cleaning gutters yourself can be a risky task, especially if you need to access the roof of a multi-story building. You only need to fall 2 metres off a ladder to risk serious injury.
