If your gutters are overflowing or starting to look a little green, you might wonder can I just clean them myself?
The short answer is yes you can.
But the real question is whether you should.
Gutter cleaning might seem like a simple DIY task, but there is more to it than meets the eye. The biggest concern is safety. Working at height is one of the most common causes of DIY injuries in the UK. Unstable ladders, slippery surfaces, or reaching too far can lead to serious falls even from a single storey.
Even if you are confident on a ladder, gutter cleaning is messy, tiring, and often requires proper equipment such as a stable ladder, gloves, buckets, a gutter scoop, or specialist vacuum systems.
And if you come across a blocked downpipe, a cracked joint, or a leak, you will need to know how to fix it properly. That is why many homeowners choose to leave gutter cleaning to professionals.
