What information should I include when asking for a quote?

Question 4

What should I check before hiring a gutter cleaning and repair business?

Also make sure the gutter cleaning and repair business covers your area and takes on the type of job you need.

Question 5

Are there qualifications, registrations or insurance I should check?

Question 7

How long can gutter cleaning and repair work take?

How long the work takes depends on property height, gutter length, access, and blockage level. A small, straightforward job can be much quicker than a larger or more complex one, so ask when the work can start and how long it is expected to take once the scope is clear.

Question 8

What should I do before the work starts?

Accepted Answer

Before the work starts, keep people and vehicles clear of the area below the gutters, tell the business about known leaks, overflows or downpipe blockages, and do not climb ladders or onto roofs to inspect gutters yourself. Follow any job-specific instructions the business gives you before arrival.
