We look first
From the ground, right round the house. On a complex roofline that walk is the whole quote — it is where we count the metres and find the valleys.
Gutter Cleaning in Barntown, Co. Wexford
The houses around Barntown are the ones people assume need a cherry picker: two storeys, several elevations, a couple of valleys where two roofs meet. They do not. The work happens from the ground, and the awkward lengths are the point of the visit rather than an extra.

Why Barntown rooflines are the awkward ones
More roof, more junctions, and more places for debris to sit unseen.
Bigger, more complex rooflines
Detached and one-off homes around Barntown tend to have more elevations than a standard house, with valleys and junctions where two roofs meet. Every one of those is a place where material collects and nobody looks.
More metres than anyone expects
A house with four sides and a return carries far more gutter than a semi. It is not that any one length is bad — it is that there is a lot of it, and the far side has usually never been seen.
Height without a safe ladder position
Two storeys, planting under the wall and a driveway that slopes: the spots where a ladder would want to stand are exactly the spots you would rather it did not. Working from the ground takes the question away.
Around Barntown and out towards Clonard we spend most of the visit on the sides and the back. If you are sending photos, the useful ones are of the elevations you cannot see from the road.
Two ways it gets done
One of them needs a safe ladder position on every elevation.
Ladder against the house
The old way
- Feet on soft or sloping ground
- Weight against render and gutter
- Somebody has to be there to hold it
HOW WE DO IT
From the ground
Pole and vacuum
- Nothing rests on the house at all
- Works the same on soft ground
- No one needs to be home
How a Barntown gutter visit runs
Four steps, and the third is the one most people never see done.
The run is cleared
Leaf, moss and silt are drawn out of the channel from below, valleys and returns included. Nothing is dragged along the run, so there is no strain on the brackets.
Then it is checked over
From one end to the other before anything is packed away. What comes under the job is the gutter run itself, and all of it gets looked at.
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?
The roof first, then the runs. Booked as one visit you pay for the getting-ready once instead of twice, and nothing that comes off the tiles is left sitting in a gutter we have already done.

Questions about getting at a big roofline
Asked most often about the side nobody sees.
Do you need a cherry picker for a two-storey house?
No. The work is done from the ground on houses of this size, which is why there is nothing resting against the render and nothing parked on your drive.
Do you do the valleys where two roofs meet?
Yes, where they can be reached. Those junctions are usually the fullest part of a complex roofline, so skipping them would leave the worst of it in place.
Is a bigger house much dearer?
It is more metres of gutter, and metres are what you are paying for. Send photos from a couple of corners so the whole roofline is visible and you will get a figure rather than a range.
What exactly do you clear?
The gutter runs themselves — the channels along the roofline. Everything in them is lifted out and taken away, and the run is checked end to end before we finish. That is the job we quote for.
