Gutter Cleaning & Repair Services

Joburg's summer storms drop 30–40 mm of rain in twenty minutes. If your gutters are choked with leaves, jacaranda pods or roof grit, that water has nowhere to go — it spills over, soaks into the wall behind the gutter, runs down the facade and pools at the foundations. The result is damp internal walls, peeling paint, mouldy ceilings and (over time) foundation movement. We clean, flush and inspect gutters on single and double-storey homes across Sandton, Midrand, Fourways and Bryanston, including the pre-summer storm package.

What we do

We hand-clear leaves and debris from the full length of the gutter, flush with high-pressure water to test fall and outlet flow, then test every downpipe to confirm it discharges to a working stormwater outlet. Loose brackets are re-fixed, leaking joints re-sealed, and any sections of failed PVC, aluminium or seamless gutter are quoted for replacement. We supply a short photo report on completion so you can see exactly what was found and cleared.
