Gutter Cleaning
Blocked gutters in Devon and Somerset are very common — they overflow quickly, and this leads to damp, leaks, and costly structural damage. At Devon Surface Care, we provide safe, efficient and mess-free gutter cleaning services for both residential and commercial properties.
Serving home owners across Exeter, Barnstaple, Tiverton, Cullompton, Exmouth and Taunton, our professional gutter cleaning system uses high-level vacuums, so we can clear gutters from ground level — minimising disruption while maximising safety.
What is Gutter Cleaning?
Gutter cleaning is the process of removing moss, leaves, debris and blockages from your guttering and downpipes to ensure rainwater flows freely away from your property. Our standard service is the clearance of the inside of the gutter itself, but we can also provide a further cleaning service on the outside of the gutter and all UPVC surfaces if needed. See our Windows and UPVC cleaning service.
Our complete gutter cleaning service includes inspection, clearance, minor repairs and external cleaning — not just a quick scoop-out.
Vacuum / High-Level Cleaning
We use a professional SkyVac high-reach vacuum system that allows us to clear gutters safely from the ground. This method removes debris efficiently reducing the need for ladders. The system is powerful enough to remove compacted moss, leaves and silt, while remaining clean and controlled.
Our gutter cleaning process:
Step 1 – Inspection
We carry out a full survey with photos. This allows us to identify blockages, check gutter condition and prepare for any access challenges.
Step 2 – Gutter Clearance
Using our high-level vacuum system, and manual use of ladders where necessary, we cleanly and safely remove debris from the guttering.
Step 3 – Downpipe & Hopper Check
We inspect and clear any blockages within downpipes and drainage outlets.
Step 4 – Final Inspection
A second camera inspection ensures the gutter line is fully clear.
Step 5 – Minor Gutter Repairs (if required)
We reseal leaking joints or secure loose brackets where possible within the service price.
Key advantages:
Safe ground-level cleaning
Reaches over conservatories and extensions
Powerful removal of moss and debris
Clean and mess-free process

High Level, Hard-To-Reach Gutter Cleaning
Our domestic gutter cleaning service provides homeowners with a quick, safe and cost-effective solution to blocked gutters — even in areas that are difficult to reach. We can clean gutters at 2, 3, or even 4-storeys, over conservatories, in deep gullies, and on town houses and terraces.
Depending on the access we use a variety of methods to ensure high, awkward to reach gutters are serviced properly.
- Ground mounted SkyVac system to vacuum gutters (usual can reach 2-3 storeys)
- SkyVac system to reach gutter over conservatories
- Ladders (2-man operation) and manual tools are used to remove stubborn blockages
- Powered Access (eg cherry picker) where needed to safely reach higher areas
