Blocked gutters are one of the more overlooked maintenance issues for Nairobi homeowners, until they cause water damage. Here are the questions we hear most often about gutter cleaning.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Nairobi?
We recommend at least twice a year — before and during the long rains — with more frequent cleaning for properties surrounded by mature trees that shed leaves and debris more heavily.
What are the signs that gutters need cleaning?
Common signs include water overflowing from gutters during rain, visible plant growth or debris in the gutter channel, sagging gutters from accumulated weight, or water stains on exterior walls below the gutter line.
What happens if gutters aren’t cleaned regularly?
Blocked gutters cause water to overflow rather than drain properly, which can lead to water damage on exterior walls, foundation issues, and damp problems inside the property over time.
Do you clean gutters on multi-storey buildings?
Yes, our teams are equipped to safely clean gutters on both single-storey residential homes and multi-storey commercial buildings.
What does the gutter cleaning process involve?
The process involves manually clearing leaves, silt, and debris from gutter channels along the roofline, checking and clearing downpipes to confirm water flows freely, and a basic inspection for damage.
Can you also check for gutter damage during cleaning?
Yes, we check for loose brackets, cracks, or other damage during the cleaning process and can pass along recommendations if repairs are needed.
Is gutter cleaning safe to do on my own, or should I hire professionals?
While some homeowners do attempt this themselves, working at height carries real risk, and professional teams have the right equipment and experience to do the job safely and thoroughly.
Do you offer gutter cleaning bundled with other exterior services?
Yes, gutter cleaning can be bundled with window cleaning or other exterior maintenance services in the same visit if you’d like to address multiple areas at once.
How long does gutter cleaning typically take?
This depends on the length of guttering and level of blockage, but a standard residential gutter cleaning typically takes a few hours.
How is gutter cleaning priced?
Pricing depends on the property’s size, number of storeys, and gutter length. Contact us with your property details for a specific quote.
