Gutter clearing and downpipe flushing in Northland

Leaves, moss and other debris can stop your gutters draining properly. Blast Away Guys clears gutters and flushes downpipes for homes and commercial buildings across Whangārei and Northland.

We remove the build-up, clean up debris from our work and tell you about visible maintenance concerns. Ask us to include a house wash, roof treatment or minor gutter repairs in the same quote.

What does a gutter clear include?

  • Removing leaves, plants and other debris from inside the gutters.
  • Flushing gutters and checking the downpipes as part of the booked scope.
  • Rinsing splashback caused by our work from nearby exterior surfaces.
  • Collecting the debris and removing it from the property.
  • Advising you of visible damage or drainage concerns we identify.

We choose the method for the debris, gutter arrangement and access. If a blockage or repair needs work beyond the quoted scope, we explain what we have found before proceeding.

Clearing gutters or washing the outside?

A gutter clear removes material from inside the gutter so rainwater can drain. An exterior gutter wash cleans the visible outside faces.

Washing the outside of gutters is included in our house-washing service. It does not replace clearing the debris inside. Your quote makes clear which work is included.

Minor gutter and downpipe repairs

We can assess and quote for:

  • Replacing or securing loose and broken gutter clips.
  • Correcting sagging caused by loose or failed clips, where a local repair is suitable.
  • Repairing or replacing a damaged section of downpipe.
  • Repairing or replacing a short section of gutter.

These are local repairs, rather than a promise to replace or redesign an entire guttering system. We assess the condition and explain if the work needs a specialist or a wider replacement.

How often should gutters be cleared?

The right interval depends on nearby trees, roof growth, wind exposure and the way the gutters collect debris. Annual clearing is a useful starting point for many properties. Some need more frequent attention.

Clearing before the wetter months can help reduce blockage-related overflow. It cannot resolve every leak or drainage problem. Damaged gutters, unsuitable falls and other faults may also need attention.

Bundle the jobs that make sense together

How often should gutters be cleaned on commercial buildings?

Most commercial buildings should have their gutters cleared and flushed at least once a year, or twice annually in leafy areas. Blocked gutters can cause major structural issues and even void insurance if left unmaintained.

>

Do you work with buildings that have gutter guard installed?

Yes, but this requires extra time and care. Please let us know if your building has gutter guard in place — we’ll reassess the scope and provide an updated quote. Gutter guard can hide debris that slowly accumulates and causes hidden issues, so periodic checking is still important.

>

What does your commercial gutter service include?

We hand-clear all leaves, debris, and built-up material from commercial gutters and then flush them using water to ensure full flow. This helps prevent overflow, internal leaks, and structural water damage. It’s especially important for buildings with large roof spans or multiple downpipes.

>

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Most homes benefit from a clean once or twice a year, especially if you have overhanging trees or collect rainwater. We can advise on the right schedule for your property

>

Will you check the condition of my gutters while you’re up there?

Yes. If we notice cracked seals, corroded fixings, or anything that needs attention, we’ll take photos and report back. That way, you can address minor issues before they become major problems.

>

Do I need to be home for gutter cleaning?

No. As long as we have safe access to your roof and the gates are unlocked, you don’t need to be there. We’ll send you reminders, take before-and-after photos, and leave everything tidy.

>

Can you clean gutters that have gutter guard installed?

Yes, though this does take more time and care. Let us know when you book so we can allow extra time and adjust the quote accordingly.

>

What does internal gutter clearing include?

We hand-clear the inside of your gutters, removing all leaves, debris, and blockages. The debris is bagged and taken away, so there’s no mess left behind. This helps your gutters function properly and prevents water overflow and damage to your roof, walls, or foundations.

>

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.
