Two jobs that belong together
Most people ring about the gutters. Then they look up and notice the boards underneath have gone green and streaked.
It's the same problem in two places. Water sits in a blocked gutter, overflows down the front, and runs across the fascia below it — feeding exactly the algae that's staining it. Clean one and leave the other, and you're back where you started inside a year.
Done together, in one visit, it's cheaper than two call-outs and it actually stays clean.
Gutter clearing
Cleared by hand, run by run, so the joints, brackets and outlets get looked at while the debris comes out. Downpipes flushed either way — a clear gutter feeding a blocked downpipe still overflows. Photos if you want to see what was up there.
uPVC fascias & soffits
Soft-wash, not pressure. Fascias, soffits and the outside face of the gutter, brought back to white and rinsed with pure water so nothing dries back on.

How it's done
Every downpipe flushed through and checked for a blockage before I leave — a clear gutter feeding a blocked downpipe still overflows.
What it costs
| Job | Price |
|---|---|
| Gutter clearing — per side of an average home | £20–30 |
| Typical semi, both sides, downpipes flushed | £40–60 |
| Fascias & soffits — terraced or small semi | from £80 |
| Fascias & soffits — standard 3-bed semi | £100–140 |
| Fascias & soffits — larger detached | £150–200 |
The ranges exist because a two-storey detached with a conservatory in the way isn't the same job as a bungalow you can walk round. Send a photo and you get one fixed number, not a range.
Booking both together is always cheaper than two separate visits — one trip, one setup, one bill.
12-month guarantee on the fascias
If the green comes back within twelve months of the clean, I come back and redo it. No charge, no argument. That's the whole guarantee — it doesn't need small print.
Why it's worth doing before winter
Straight answers
Will the fascias actually come back white, or just cleaner?
Almost always properly white. Algae, moss and traffic film sit on the surface and lift off. What won't come back is uPVC that has genuinely oxidised — chalky, dull plastic on very old boards, usually south-facing. I'll tell you which one you've got from the photo, before you've paid anything.
Do you use a pressure washer?
Not on uPVC. Pressure scars the surface and drives water behind the boards into the roof timbers. Scarred plastic then holds dirt and greens up faster. Soft washing takes longer and is the reason I can offer the guarantee.
How often do gutters actually need doing round here?
Once a year for most Lanarkshire houses, twice if you're under mature trees. The important visit is late August to mid-September — before the first autumn storm, not after it. Our leaf fall runs later than the textbooks say and the rain arrives before it finishes.
Do you need to get in the house or the back garden?
No. Gutters are done from outside off the ladder, fascias and soffits from the ground with a pole. You don't need to be in, and you don't need to move anything.
How long does it take?
Gutters on a semi: under an hour. Fascias and soffits: two to three hours. Both together on an average semi is a half-day job, one visit.
Are you insured?
Yes — Public Liability. Happy to send the certificate before you book, and I'd suggest asking anyone who quotes you for the same.
Is it really just you?
Yes. One person, every visit, start to finish. You won't get a different face each time, and the person who quotes you is the person who does the work.

Stand back on the driveway, get the roofline in the frame, and send it with your postcode. You'll have one fixed number back the same day — and if it honestly doesn't need doing yet, I'll tell you that instead.
