Are fascias and soffits washed as part of clearing?
Only if that separate work is agreed. Clearing removes material from inside the gutter channel, whereas uPVC cleaning treats visible exterior surfaces. Ask for both to be named when both are wanted; a clean-looking outside does not prove the inside is free of debris.
Can you reach the gutter above my conservatory?
The whole layout needs consideration. Second-storey reach does not mean the equipment can work over every obstacle. Show the elevation, conservatory and available ground position so suitability can be discussed before a visit is confirmed.
Will removing leaves fix a leaking gutter joint?
It can address a debris obstruction, but not a defective seal or broken connection. Explain the location and when water escapes. If a leak persists, it may need repair; do not book clearing on the understanding that every physical defect is included.
Can I see what has been removed or checked?
Before-and-after visibility is available where possible, subject to layout and access. Ask what can be shown for your property and which sections were covered. An inaccessible run should be explained honestly rather than assumed clear because the visible sections were completed.
Do I need to climb up for a quotation photograph?
No. Take safe ground-level views of the entire building side and note the affected section. Include extensions and access routes. Climbing simply to identify gutter debris is unnecessary for the initial enquiry and can introduce avoidable risk.
Is a blocked underground drain included?
Do not assume that it is. The service described here is gutter-channel debris removal. Explain any outlet or drainage concerns so the proposed boundary is clear; another obstruction or defect can require a different investigation beyond a normal gutter clear.
How often should I book again?
The answer follows the property: debris sources, layout and observed build-up all matter. Review the gutters after significant leaf fall or new overflow symptoms and discuss sensible upkeep. One fixed interval should not be presented as right for every Haverhill building.
