Gutter Cleaning in Ballyhogue, Co. Wexford

A fair question, and one people ask before they ask the price: where does it all end up? Not on the lawn, not in the beds, and not washed down the side of the house. It goes in a bag and it leaves with us.

Why what comes out of a Ballyhogue gutter is worth bagging

This is not dry leaf. Around here it comes out wet, heavy and greasy.

Ploughing and harvest dust

Ballyhogue sits in active arable and dairy country. Spring ploughing and summer harvesting lift fine soil that settles along the roofline, and it is soil rather than leaf that makes the material in the channel so heavy.

Silage residue on top of it

Silage season adds a greasy film that ordinary rain does not shift. Mixed into leaf and soil it makes a material that clings to whatever you drop it on — which is exactly why it should not be dropped on your lawn.

Slaney valley damp keeps it wet

The low ground here holds moisture, so nothing in the run dries out between showers. What comes out is closer to wet compost than to garden debris, and it stains what it lands on.

Around Ballyhogue and towards Bree we cover the beds and the path before anything comes out of the run, and everything goes into bags on the van. If you would rather keep it for the compost heap we will leave it — but only if you ask.

How a Ballyhogue gutter visit runs

Four steps, none of them rushed.

We set up below first

Beds, paths and anything planted under the run get covered before a single handful comes out. On these houses the material is wet and greasy, and it marks what it lands on.

The run is cleared

It comes out in sections, straight into the bag. Nothing is pushed along the run and nothing is flushed down the outside of the house.

A last look along it

Corner to corner, before we finish. It is the gutter runs we clear, and we would rather find the missed foot of it than you would.

Cleared away, not left

Nothing is stacked at the side of the house. The ground goes back as we found it and you are told plainly how it looked.

Doing the roof as well?

If the roof is on your mind as well, say so when you book. Done together they share the one set-up, and the runs get cleared after whatever comes off the tiles rather than before it.

What we cover from Ballyhogue outwards

This is on our regular run, which usually means a date inside a week or two rather than a month.

The townlands around the village, with Bree next door and Oilgate over on the main road. Dairy and tillage sheds as well as houses — the material is the same, there is just more of it.

Wider out we cover Enniscorthy and Wexford Town, with Ballymurn and Adamstown on the same sheet. Show us the roofline in a photo and you will get a straight answer.

Questions about the mess

Asked more often than the price, and fair enough.

Where does everything you take out end up?

In bags, on the van, and away with us. Nothing is left in a heap at the side of the house and nothing is flushed down the outside wall.

Can I keep it for the compost?

You can, and some people around here do. Tell us when you book and we will leave it bagged somewhere sensible rather than taking it. Otherwise, it goes with us as a matter of course.

Will it mark the paving or the beds?

Not if it is covered first, which is why we do that before anything comes out. The material here is wet and greasy from silage and soil, so it is worth the ten minutes.

What does the visit actually involve?

We clear the gutter channels along the roofline, from the ground. What comes out goes into a bag and away on the van, and the run is walked end to end before we call it done.
