Gutter Cleaning
Blocked gutters in Devon and Somerset overflow quickly, and this leads to damp, leaks, and costly structural damage. At DSC | Exterior Cleaning, we provide safe, efficient and mess-free gutter cleaning services for residential and commercial property owners.
`
We provide gutter cleaning across Exeter, Barnstaple, Tiverton, Cullompton, Exmouth and Taunton. Using our professional gutter cleaning system, we use high-reach vacuums to clear gutters from ground level — minimising disruption while maximising safety.
What is Gutter Cleaning?
Gutter cleaning is the process of removing moss, leaves, debris and blockages from guttering and downpipes to ensure rainwater flows freely away from your property. Over time, debris builds up and prevents proper drainage, which can lead to overflowing water, stained walls, foundation issues and internal damp problems.
We provide a complete service including inspection, clearance, minor repairs and external cleaning — not just a quick scoop-out.
Our Gutter Cleaning Process
We use SkyVac high-reach vacuum systems that enable gutter clearance from ground level. This method removes debris efficiently reducing the need for ladders. The system is powerful enough to remove compacted moss, leaves and silt, while remaining clean and controlled.
Step 1 – Inspection
We carry out a full survey with photo evidence. This allows us to identify blockages, check gutter condition and prepare for any access challenges.
Step 2 – Gutter Clearance
Using our high-level vacuum system and ladders where necessary, we cleanly and safely remove debris from the guttering.
Step 3 – Downpipe & Hopper Check
We inspect and clear any blockages in downpipes and drainage outlets.
Step 4 – Final Inspection
A second camera inspection ensures the gutter line is fully clear.
Step 5 – Minor Gutter Repairs (if required)
We reseal leaking joints and secure loose brackets where possible within the service price.
Safety & Access
Safety is at the heart of our external cleaning services. Traditional ladder-based gutter cleaning can carry risk and may cause damage to roofing, guttering or surrounding structures. Our high-reach vacuum system significantly reduces these risks.
We are fully insured and trained in safe working practices, and our equipment allows us to access gutters above conservatories, garages and outbuildings without walking on roofs or causing disturbance.
Why our approach is safer:
Minimal ladder use
No roof access required in most cases
Fully insured service
Reduced risk of property damage

FAQs - Gutter Cleaning
Our gutter cleaning prices are based on the type of property and easy of access. This keeps pricing fair and transparent. It can also help to estimate the length by measuring along your external walls, pacing it out (roughly one metre per pace), or counting the gutter clips (usually spaced one metre apart). Send us info on the type of property and if possible the gutter length, and we will provide a quick guide price.
