Blocked gutters can lead to
nasty business
Clean gutters are very important when it comes to preventative maintenance and stopping water seepage and dampness around your house. When they get blocked with leaves, grass and weeds, gutters lose their functionality and overflow which causes water seepage into the interior of a building. This can unfortunately, cause major damage to the interior and exterior walls, lead to fascia boards rotting. Pooling water around foundations can cause erosion which weakens the walls, leading to foundation cracks and settling.
Gutter cleaning often gets forgotten so we have a reminder service to help you stay on top of the problem before it becomes one. We can contact you Every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on your requirements and come and ensure they are not blocked and the water can flow freely.

Keeping your gutters clean is one of those jobs that often gets forgotten about until you have a jungle growing out of them. However, clean gutters are vital when it comes to the health and safety of your home. Once they fill up with debris, gutters lose their functionality, meaning that rain water can over time find its way into your home causing major damage to interior and exterior walls or even the foundation of your home. Blast Away Guys can help you stay on top of the problem before it becomes one, by performing annual clean-ups and removing any plants or debris that have manifested.
"My property was damp inside from water overflowing the gutters. There was a plant growing in it and the blocked gutter meant it was leaking and starting to cause damage to soffit.
Blast Away Guys cleaned out the gutters quickly and affordably and provided me with a report on the damage that was starting to occur. The damage could not be seen from the ground and we were so grateful they pointed it out as it saved us thousands."

How much will it cost to have my gutters cleaned?
CUSTOMER CASE STUDY - Since they cleared the gutters, we have had more heavy rainfall and no more water leaking in.
We bought a new house which has quite a lot of established trees around it. After the first heavy downpour, rainwater started to leak into the kitchen. We rang Blast Away Guys, who came out that day to assess and clear the gutters which were blocked and full of leaves and weeds.
Since they have cleared the gutters, we have had more heavy rainfall and no more water leaking in. Given this is a new house we do not know how often the gutters are going to need clearing so Blast Away Guys are going to come and check them every 3 months for the first year and give us a report and photos each visit. After a year we will have enough data to reassess how often it needs to occur. Jonathan Harris– Whangarei
The most important time to have your gutters checked and cleaned is autumn and winter
This is because leaves fall in the colder months and collect in the gutters. In some properties it pays to check again in late spring-early to summer (depending on what trees surround the property and when they lose their leaves). Heavy wind and rain can cause real issues with water ingress if your guttering isn't kept clear of;
- fallen leaves
- broken twigs
- children's toys
- self-seeding plants
- moss and lichen
- birds nests
All sorts of waste material easily find their way into your guttering and spouting, causing blockages as well as mould and pest infestation. You often don’t notice the early signs of a clogged-up gutter until it’s too late, which is why regular maintenance is so important.
With years of experience in gutter cleaning services, Blast Away Guys have the right tools and equipment to work safely and efficiently.
Clean is a great feeling and so is having someone else do it for you...

I am on tank water will it affect the water in my tank?
If you are having your gutters flushed out and you are on tank water, the tanks should be disconnected while we complete the freshwater flush and reconnected afterwards.

What is involved in unblocking gutters and what happens with the gunk you clear from the gutter?
Our gutter clean is an internal gutter clean which we do by hand and generally from a ladder. Some customers request that we also flush the gutters out which involves an additional technique and tools as we apply a soft wash using one of our water blasters. We can also offer a more premium gutter clean, which involves soft washing the outside of the gutters as well as an internal clean of the inside. It is a good idea to discuss your requirements with us prior to getting us to create a quote. We quote the internal gutter clean separately from the external gutter clean so that you can decide if you would like us to do both or just one of the services. When we unblock gutters we clear out all the debris and take it away from your property or alternatively you can use it as compost for your garden.
