Cleaning the gutters
Cleaning rainwater gutters in a housing company
Regular cleaning of the gutters ensures controlled drainage of rainwater and prolongs the life of the gutters. Properly functioning gutters and clean downspouts ensure that water does not get wet on the walls or foundation of the house. Cleaning gutters is an essential part of the annual work of a housing association. It is always a good idea to leave the cleaning of gutters to professionals.
Cleaning gutters is the responsibility of the housing company
Gutter cleaning in terraced houses and apartment buildings is usually the responsibility of the housing association. Gutters should always be checked in autumn and spring for leaves, needles and other debris. Wind-blown debris on roof surfaces and thus in the gutters quickly forms a dense mat at the bottom of the gutter, which rain and meltwater cannot displace.
If unnecessary leaf litter and other debris has accumulated in the gutters, clogged gutters and downspouts can no longer direct water in the right direction. In addition, decomposing material in the gutters causes corrosion, corroding the metal surface. Regular cleaning of the gutters significantly increases the life of the gutters and downspouts. In other words, regular cleaning pays for itself many times over in time, effort and cost.
Pits caused by corrosion and cracks are not just a cosmetic problem. They allow water to flow into the wrong places: at the base of the plinth, in front of the front door and in passageways. In the worst case, water in the wrong places can cause costly moisture problems and damage. This scenario is presumably not what any housing association or property owner wants. In spring, water on pathways makes them slippery and dangerous, which is likely to increase the risk of injury.
Cleaning rainwater gutters in terraced houses and blocks of flats is a necessary measure
Small needles and leaves can be carried long distances by the wind, so regular cleaning of gutters is advisable, even if there is no tree cover in the immediate vicinity of the building. In humid conditions, moss will also slowly grow on decaying matter, further accelerating the formation of blockages.
The cleaning of rainwater gutters in your building should be left to professionals. A professional can do the job cost-effectively, safely and with sufficient care. Cleaning rainwater gutters at height requires the right tools and working methods to ensure a successful outcome. Excessive use of force or sharp tools can damage the inner surface of gutters. A broken coating is a fertile ground for organic waste to adhere more tightly to the surface, creating a nasty spiral.
Frequently asked questions
Cleaning gutters is important to keep the rainwater system working and prevent blockages. Blockages can cause extensive moisture damage at worst, and full gutters can break when frost causes expansion.
The cleaning of gutters in a building company is always priced at the contract price. The price depends on the location of the site, the challenge, the surface area and the amount of work. We evaluate each site and give a fixed contract price for the work. Ask for more information and we will see the exact price!
The duration depends on the size of the housing association and the complexity of the site. However, we can complete almost all projects within one working day. For small housing associations, we can complete the work in a few hours.
It would be a good idea to clean the gutters in your building 1-2 times a year. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of trees and other vegetation near the gutters and the quality of the rainwater system. Regular cleaning of gutters will ensure that the rainwater system is working and that there are no leaves or other debris.
It is important to get moss off the roof of the building to keep the waterproofing tight and not to deteriorate the surface of the tiles. Moss deteriorates the condition of the tiles and shortens the life of the roof. When frozen, moss is prone to cracking the tiles. It is also a good idea to remove moss for appearance reasons, as a clean roof is a sign of a well-maintained property.
The price of moss removal is most affected by the surface area of the roof and the amount of vegetation. The price is also influenced by the steepness of the roof, the number of broken tiles and the location of the site. Give us a call or leave us a message and we'll see what the exact price is!
We mainly use a gutter vacuum cleaner to clean the gutters, so all the dirt goes neatly into the vacuum cleaner's tank. For moss removal, we do the necessary screening and finally clean up the yard. After our visit, your property's yard will be as clean as when we arrived!
You can call us or leave a contact request and we will be in touch. We will survey the site and calculate a fixed contract price for the work. Leave us a contact request and we will be in touch with you shortly.

Cleaning gutters with an annual contract is usually the most cost-effective option for the housing association. The building company always gets a 15% discount for the work! In addition, the work is always carried out at the agreed time and the housing company does not have to remember to order the work separately. This means that the gutters work properly all the time and no damage can occur.
