    Why gutters block up

    Cleaning gutters before Perth winter helps remove leaves and debris accumulated over summer and autumn, allowing rainwater to follow its intended drainage path and reducing overflow risk. NXS gutter cleaning is typically $199–$349 for single-storey homes or $349–$549 for double-storey homes. Access, gutter length and debris affect the final price, which is confirmed by a free quote.

    Leaves, debris and seasonal buildup

    Homes near established trees are especially prone to buildup. Leaves, twigs, dust and even bird nests can accumulate in accessible gutter lines through the seasons.

    What happens when gutters overflow

    When gutters are blocked, water has nowhere to go. Blocked gutters can lead to overflow, staining, water buildup and potential roofline issues if left unattended.

    Why clean before winter

    Perth's heaviest rain arrives in winter. Clearing gutters beforehand helps water flow away from your home properly when the wet weather hits, reducing the risk of overflow during storms.

    How often should gutters be cleaned?

    Many homes benefit from gutter cleaning once or twice a year, especially before winter or after heavy leaf fall.

    Combining gutter cleaning with window cleaning

    Pre-winter is a great time to refresh the whole exterior of your home. Many customers combine gutter cleaning with window and solar panel cleaning in one visit to save time and money.
