Professional Gutter Cleaning Galway
Why Galway Properties Need Regular Gutter Cleaning
Galway is one of the wettest counties in Ireland. Parts of the county receive over 1,200mm of rainfall annually, and when gutters are blocked, that water has nowhere to go except down your walls.
The most common causes of blocked gutters in Galway are:
Autumn leaf fall — From October through to December, leaves from mature trees fill gutters across Galway City, Salthill, Knocknacarra and the eastern suburbs. A single storm can pack gutters solid overnight.
Roof moss — Galway's damp Atlantic climate grows moss heavily on older roofs throughout the county. As moss spreads, it sheds debris directly into gutters during every rain shower, causing gradual but persistent blockage.
Bird nesting — Starlings and sparrows nest in gutters and downpipes in spring. Nesting material compacts tightly and can block a downpipe completely, forcing water to back up and overflow.
Silt and grit — Fine debris accumulates in gutter bends and low points over time. You won't see it from the ground, but it builds up until drainage slows, then stops.
Left unchecked, a blocked gutter in Galway will overflow in the next heavy downpour — which is rarely far away. Water runs down the wall, soaks into the render, and causes damp internally. Fascia boards rot. Black mould follows. What costs €100 to clean will cost thousands to repair if ignored.

Gutter Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions
Once a year is the minimum for most Galway properties — late autumn, after the main leaf fall in November, is the best time to book. Properties with heavy tree cover or significant roof moss should be cleaned twice yearly, in spring and autumn. Galway's rainfall means a blocked gutter causes damage faster here than in drier parts of Ireland.
Yes. Full public liability insurance is in place on every job. You can request a certificate of insurance before work begins if needed.
Overflowing gutters run water directly down your walls. In Galway's climate, this saturates render quickly and leads to damp internally — rising damp, black mould, and staining. Fascia boards absorb water and rot. Soffits follow. What starts as a blocked gutter becomes a repair job that costs multiples of what the clean would have cost.

What's Included in Every Gutter Clean
We don't do a quick scoop and leave. Every Gutter Guys clean covers the full system — gutters, downpipes, fascias — and we don't sign off until water flows freely from the gutter to the drain.
Full Gutter Clearance Every section of guttering cleared end-to-end using gutter vacuum tools and by hand where needed. Leaves, moss, silt and compacted debris all removed. No section skipped.
Downpipe Flush and Test Every downpipe flushed with running water from top to bottom. Partial blockages lower in the pipe are easy to miss and easy to cause problems — we check and clear them all before we finish.
Fascia and Soffit Clean Fascias and soffits wiped down to remove algae, black streaking and grime. The job looks finished, not just functional.
Final Flow Test Water run through the full system before we leave. If it's not flowing freely end-to-end, we're not done.
