Grey Lynn Gutter Cleaning
Bungalows and villas under mature oaks and liquidambars, with a lot of rear infill.
Roof and Gutter Cleaning Grey Lynn
Grey Lynn sits under some of the heaviest tree cover in central Auckland. The oaks, liquidambars and plane trees that make the streets what they are also fill gutters faster than almost anywhere else on the isthmus, and the mix of villas, 1920s bungalows and rear-section infill housing means no two jobs on the same street are quite alike.
We handle all of it — the original half-round spouting on the front villa, the newer Colorsteel on the unit built behind it, and the awkward gutter runs where the two meet. Debris comes off the roof and into bags rather than down the downpipe, and we check the outlets and flush each pipe before we leave. If a downpipe is blocked underground rather than at the top, we will find that too and tell you what is involved.

Twice a year is the realistic minimum for most of the suburb, and properties directly under mature oaks or liquidambars often need three visits — one mid-autumn, one after the leaves finish dropping, and one before winter proper. Leaving it to an annual clean under that much tree cover usually means overflow by July.
Yes, and we would normally quote both together since we are already on site. Rear infill units in Grey Lynn are often tight against a boundary with limited access, so we look at the whole property when we quote rather than pricing the street-facing house and discovering the rest on the day.
It gets bagged and taken away. We do not tip gutter waste into garden beds or over the back fence, which matters more than it sounds — wet leaf sludge out of a gutter is mostly rotted organic matter and it will kill whatever it lands on. Downpipes get flushed afterwards so nothing we loosened settles in the bend.
Usually, but it depends on what is on the other side. Where the only safe position is on a neighbour's land we will say so and ask you to arrange access before the day. Where there is genuinely no room we work off the roof instead, which is often the better approach on a villa anyway.
We can. Moss and lichen treatment and a soft roof wash are common add-ons in Grey Lynn because the same tree cover that fills the gutters keeps the roof damp and shaded. It is cheaper to combine them into one visit than to book two, so ask when you get your quote.
