Gutter Clearing Done from the safety of the ground
Overflowing gutters soaking your walls, dripping down the windows, or feeding a little jungle on the roof? We clear them with a high-reach vacuum, no ladders leaning on your gutters, at a fixed price
Why blocked gutters matter
You don't notice gutters until they stop working.
Then you notice them every time it rains.
Water cascades down the back of the house. A green stripe appears on the render. Fascia boards stain. Damp creeps in around the bedroom window. A pigeon builds a nest, or worse, a squirrel does.
Left long enough, blocked gutters cause actual, expensive damage. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors lists blocked gutters among the most common preventable causes of damp and external wall damage in UK homes. Clearing them regularly is cheap. Dealing with damp walls, rotten fascia, or cracked render is not.
Ground-based vacuum system
Gutter clearing that doesn't touch your gutters
Frog Window Cleaning clears domestic and small commercial gutters across the whole of the South East using a specialist high-reach gutter vacuum, operated entirely from the ground. No ladders leaning on the gutter, no climbing on the roof, and nothing in the flower beds.
Pricing is fixed by property type, so you see the price before you book.
What the service covers
Three reasons this is the right way to clear a gutter
Full-length Vacuum Clearance
A telescopic carbon pole with a vacuum nozzle sucks leaves, moss, twigs, silt, and any nest material straight into a collection hopper on the ground. We work the full run of every accessible gutter, including all the awkward corners.
Downpipes & Drainage Checked
A blocked gutter often means a downpipe starting to clog too. We check downpipes are running clear while we’re there, flush the run to make sure it’s falling to the outlet, and flag any joints, brackets, or pooling spots that need attention.
No Ladders, No Damage
Leaning a ladder on a gutter is how gutters get dented and detached. Our ground-based system doesn’t touch the gutter at all. The fascia, brackets, clips, and flashing all stay exactly as they were, and the flower beds stay intact.
What customers say about our gutter clearing
I have been using Frog window cleaners for many years now. They do a great job on our 3-storey house with conservatory. They've always been friendly and courteous plus respectful of our property, never leaving gates open so the dogs cannot escape. In all the time I've used them they've only increased the price once and that is very reasonable. I have recommended them to my neighbours already 😃

I have been using Frog window cleaning for two years and they always delivered a high quality of service. Mark and his team are reliable, trustworthy and caring. I have moved house so sadly the service came to an end. I can highly recommend Frog window cleaning:) Thank you

What's included in a gutter clearing
Full vacuum clearance of every gutter. Leaves, moss, twigs, silt, nest material, all of it, straight into a hopper on the ground.
Downpipes checked. And, cleared on the same visit.
Drainage test. A quick flush along the run after clearing to confirm it’s falling properly.
Any issues reported. Loose sections, dropped brackets, leaking joints, we tell you about them so you can plan a fix.
Waste removal. The hopper content is bagged up and taken away, or left in your garden waste bin if you’d rather keep it for compost. Your choice.
A tidy finish. No leaves trodden into the lawn, no bits in the borders.
When to book it
-
Autumn is the most common time, once the bulk of the leaves are down.
-
Spring is the second-most common, to clear out anything that rotted over winter.
-
After a storm, if debris has blown onto the roof and settled in the gutters.
-
When you spot overflow down the walls during heavy rain.
-
When you can see greenery growing out of the gutter from the ground.
-
As a yearly job on the same month each year, so it never gets forgotten.

Frequently asked questions about gutter clearing
How much does gutter cleaning cost in East Sussex?
Gutter clearing is priced by property type, in the same structure as our window cleaning. Different property types have different fixed prices.
How often should I have my gutters cleared?
Most domestic gutters need clearing once a year, usually in autumn after leaves have dropped. Properties near trees or with heavy roof moss often need it twice a year.
When is the best time to have gutters cleared?
Late autumn to early winter is most common, once the bulk of the leaves are down. Spring is a good second option, to clear out anything that’s rotted over winter. We work all year round, but the winter calendar fills up quickly.
Do you use ladders?
We work from the ground with a telescopic vacuum pole. The only time we’d use a ladder is for a very specific job that can’t be reached any other way.
Do I need to be home when you clear the gutters?
No. If you have a gated side return, let us know on booking so we can plan access.
What if the gutter is broken or leaking?
We’ll tell you. If a joint has split, a bracket has dropped, or a section has cracked, we flag it so you can get it fixed. We don’t do gutter repairs ourselves but we’ll give you an honest description and can point you at a local roofer if you’d like.
Can you clear moss off the roof too?
Roof moss removal is a specialist job we don’t offer. If we see heavy moss during a gutter clean that’s filling up your gutters, we’ll mention a local roofer who does that work.
Can you clear gutters on a bungalow or commercial unit?
Yes. Most bungalows and single-storey extensions are simpler than two-storey homes. Small commercial units (shops, offices, workshops) are fine too, as long as we can reach the gutter from safe ground.
Do you take the waste away?
We can. The hopper empties into a garden waste bag. Most customers are happy for us to tip it in their garden waste bin (it’s good compost). If you’d rather we took it away, we will.
What if I've got a blocked downpipe?
We can usually clear it on the same visit using a combination of the vacuum and gentle rodding. If it’s blocked deeper down (for example in an underground run), that’s a drain specialist’s job and we’ll tell you honestly.
