Blocked gutters cause serious, expensive damage to your home. Our professional gutter cleaning service removes all debris, clears every downpipe, and leaves your system flowing freely — safely and affordably.
Gutter cleaning is the thorough removal of all leaves, twigs, dirt, moss, seed pods, bird nests and any other debris that has accumulated in your gutters and downpipes over time.
At Maddern's Place, we don't just scoop out what's visible. We perform a complete clean of your entire gutter system — from the gutters themselves through to every downpipe outlet — then flush the whole system with water to confirm it's flowing freely before we leave.
We also do a visual inspection of your gutters while we're up there, letting you know of any damage, rust, sagging, or issues that may need attention.
Blocked gutters aren't just an eyesore. Over time they cause serious, costly damage to your home.
Water that can't drain overflows back under the roof line, causing rot in fascia boards, ceiling leaks, and structural damage that costs thousands to repair.
Overflowing gutters pour water down the side of your home, saturating the soil around foundations and causing subsidence, cracking, and damp internal walls.
Debris-filled gutters are a perfect nesting ground for mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats, possums, and birds. Standing water becomes a mosquito breeding site.
Persistent moisture from blocked gutters seeps into walls and ceilings, creating the ideal conditions for mould growth — a health hazard for your family.
Uncontrolled overflow dumps large volumes of water onto garden beds and paths, washing away soil, drowning plants, and eroding landscaping.
The weight of wet, compacted debris warps and cracks gutters over time. Regular cleaning is a small cost compared to full gutter replacement.
Every job follows the same thorough process — no shortcuts.
We arrive on time with all necessary equipment. Before going up, we assess the property, set up safely, and let you know what we're planning to do.
We inspect the entire gutter system before starting — checking for damage, sagging, rust, or any areas of concern we'll report back to you.
All leaves, twigs, moss, dirt, bird nests and built-up sediment are manually removed from every section of guttering around the property.
Every downpipe is checked and cleared. Blockages deep in the pipe are flushed through using water pressure to ensure completely free flow.
We run water through the entire system from end to end to confirm everything flows freely, with no blockages remaining anywhere in the system.
All debris is bagged and removed. We walk you through what we found, share any concerns about your gutter condition, and answer your questions.
Australian gutters collect a wide variety of debris. We remove it all.
Many homeowners only notice a gutter problem once water is already getting in somewhere it shouldn't. By that point, damage has often already been done.
The good news is that blocked gutters usually give you warning signs well before serious damage occurs. If you've noticed any of the signs listed here, it's time to book a clean.
As a general rule of thumb, most Australian homes should have their gutters cleaned at least once a year — and twice a year if you have large trees nearby or live in a bushfire-prone area.
Book a Clean TodayThe right frequency depends on your property and surroundings.
A home with minimal trees nearby and in a low-risk area typically needs a professional clean once per year — ideally in autumn after leaf fall.
If you have large gum trees, pines or deciduous trees close to your roof, twice-yearly cleaning (autumn and spring) is strongly recommended.
In high fire-risk zones, debris-filled gutters are a serious fire hazard. Frequent cleaning through summer months is essential for fire safety.

Cleaning gutters yourself is possible — but it comes with real risks and limitations.
Most standard single-storey homes take between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours. Double-storey homes or properties with a large amount of debris may take 2–3 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.
Not necessarily. As long as we can access the gutters and have a water connection available, we can usually complete the job without you needing to be present. We'll let you know in advance if access to the property requires you to be home.
All debris removed from your gutters is bagged up and taken away with us. We don't leave piles of leaves or dirt on your lawn, garden, or driveway.
Absolutely. While we're up on the roof we do a visual inspection of your gutters and downpipes. If we spot any rust, cracks, sagging, broken brackets or other issues, we'll let you know and can advise on what action (if any) is needed.
Yes — downpipe clearing is included in every standard gutter clean. We check every downpipe on the property, clear any blockages, and flush them through with water to confirm they're draining properly.
Most home insurance policies require gutters to be maintained as part of your obligations as a homeowner. Damage caused by neglected gutters (e.g. ceiling leaks from overflowing gutters) may not be covered if regular maintenance hasn't been carried out. Regular professional cleaning helps protect both your home and your insurance cover.
