We clean gutters and check downpipes on homes and single-storey buildings across Brendale and Moreton Bay. Leaves, twigs, seed pods and silt are removed by hand, downpipe outlets are checked for blockages, and all the debris is bagged and taken away rather than dropped into your garden.
Most homes here need their gutters cleaned at least once a year, ideally in late winter or spring before storm season. Houses under gum trees, poincianas, palms or bushland may need it every three to six months. Clean gutters let heavy summer downpours drain properly instead of overflowing into eaves, walls and garden beds.

Signs your gutters need cleaning
Book a gutter clean if you notice:
- Water spilling over the front of the gutter during heavy rain
- Plants or grass growing in the gutters
- Staining or water marks on the eaves or fascia
- Downpipes that trickle or don't flow at all in rain
- Birds or rodents nesting in the gutters
- Large trees near the roof dropping leaves, bark or seed pods
Gutters, gums and storm season
South-east Queensland's storm season, roughly October to March, brings short, very heavy downpours. A partly blocked gutter can't cope with that volume of water, so it spills over the front, soaks the eaves and fascia, and dumps water against the house. Over time that leads to rot, rust and damp problems, and water pooling against slab edges.
Many homes in Moreton Bay, especially in the hills suburbs and on blocks backing onto bushland in Albany Creek, Eatons Hill, Cashmere and Arana Hills, sit under eucalypts that drop leaves and bark all year. Poincianas, jacarandas and palms add seed pods and fronds. These homes usually need more frequent gutter cleaning than those in newer estates with young street trees.
Blocked gutters also trap water, which gives mosquitoes somewhere to breed through summer. Keeping them clear is an easy way to cut down on mosquitoes around the house.

What affects the price
Gutter cleaning is priced on the size and difficulty of the roof. The main factors are:
Length of gutters
The total run of guttering around the house.
Roof height and pitch
Access, roof pitch and height affect how long the job takes and what equipment is needed.
How full the gutters are
Gutters that haven't been cleaned for years, or have plants growing in them, take longer.
Gutter guard
Gutter guard has to be lifted and replaced, or cleaned on top, which adds time.
Trees
Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means more debris.
Regular cleans are quicker and cheaper than clearing years of build-up.

Gutter Cleaning FAQs
How often should gutters be cleaned in Brisbane?
At least once a year for most homes, ideally before storm season. Homes under large trees may need cleaning every three to six months. See our guide on how often to clean gutters in Brisbane.
Do you clean two-storey gutters?
[CONFIRM: whether two-storey gutter cleaning is offered and what safety equipment is used].
Do you flush the downpipes?
We check the downpipe outlets and clear blockages at the top. Blockages deep underground in stormwater pipes need a plumber.
Do you clean gutter guard?
Yes. We clear debris from the top of gutter guard and can lift sections to clean underneath where the guard allows it.
Can you fix damaged gutters?
No, we don't repair gutters or roofs. We'll tell you if we see damage so you can call a roof plumber.
Will you make a mess of my garden?
No. Debris is scooped into bags, not thrown to the ground, and we clean up below the gutters before we leave.
Is gutter cleaning important for bushfire safety?
Dry leaves in gutters can catch embers during bushfires, so keeping gutters clear is part of preparing properties near bushland.
