Gutter Cleaning
Clearing what has collected in the gutters so water can get out.
What it is
Gutters fill with leaves, grit off the roof and whatever the trees drop, and once they are blocked the water goes over the edge instead of down the pipe. Clearing them is straightforward work whose difficulty depends almost entirely on access and the height of the roof.
What is usually included
Scope is agreed between you and the cleaner, so treat this as the shape of the job rather than a contract. Anything you need that is not here belongs in your request notes.
- Removing leaves and loose debris from the gutter channels
- Clearing accessible downspout openings
- Attention to visible build-up and silt
- Bagging or collecting what comes out
- A check that water runs through where it can be tested
- Tidying the ground area afterwards
- Work adjusted to the access the property allows
When people ask for it
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Autumn and spring maintenance
- Properties with trees close to the roofline
- Before a wet season sets in
What happens after you send the request
You describe the job
Your ZIP code, the property details, the day you want and anything specific. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
It reaches cleaners near you
Only professionals whose service area covers your ZIP, who offer this type of cleaning, and whose ID has been approved by our team.
One of them replies
The first available cleaner takes the request and a conversation opens, where you can ask about scope, timing and price.
You accept or decline
Look at their profile and rating, then decide. If you decline, the request goes back out to another cleaner automatically.
You pay the cleaner directly
Requesting costs you nothing. The price is what you and the cleaner agree, and it is paid to them, not to Verliks.
Worth having ready
Access decides this job: say how many storeys the property has, whether the roofline is reachable by ladder, if the ground around the house is level, and whether gutter guards are fitted. Mention how long it has been, since compacted debris is slower than loose leaves.
Questions about gutter cleaning
Do cleaners work at height on any property?
Not necessarily. Some professionals will not take work above a certain height or without safe ladder footing, and that is a judgement each one makes. Describing the property accurately means you get a realistic answer instead of a cancelled job.
Are repairs included?
No. This is clearing, not repair. If a bracket is loose, a joint is leaking or a section is damaged, the cleaner can point it out, but fixing it is separate work.
How much does this cost?
There is no fixed price. It depends on the property, its condition, the scope, your location and the professional. The cleaner who takes your request discusses it with you in the conversation, before anything is booked.
Can I ask for a specific cleaner?
Yes. You can send a request straight to a professional whose profile you have seen, and it goes to them rather than into the general matching. If they are not available, the request falls back to cleaners near you.
Does every cleaner offer this service?
No. Each professional lists the types of cleaning they take on, and requests are only matched to cleaners who offer this one and who cover your area.
Can I add extra work to the request?
Describe it in the notes when you send the request. The cleaner confirms in the conversation what they include and whether the extra work is something they can do.
