We look first
From the ground, all the way round. On a detached house the back and the gable are usually where the weight is, and that walk confirms what the photos showed.
Gutter Cleaning in Boolavogue, Co. Wexford
The figure starts at €75, and on rural houses the thing that moves it is almost always the same one: metres of gutter. A bungalow with four sides has a good deal more run than a semi in a town, and that is most of the difference.

What changes the price in Boolavogue
On a rural roofline the first one does most of the work.
Why rural houses price differently to town ones
Not the weather. The shape of the house, and how long it has been since anyone looked.
Detached houses carry more gutter
A one-off or a farmhouse around Boolavogue often has four elevations and a return or two. That can be double the run of a semi, and the run is what takes the time.
Longer gaps between clears
Rural gutters are further from anybody's eye. A run that has gone two or three years is a heavier job than one done last autumn, and it is the only other thing that genuinely moves a quote.
Field dust makes it heavier, not bigger
Ploughing and harvest put fine soil into the mix, which binds the leaf into a mat. It does not fill the run any faster — it makes what is in there harder to shift.
We quote Boolavogue from photos, and on a rural house the useful ones are taken from two corners so we can see how much run there actually is. If it turns out to be at the cheaper end, that is what you will be told.
How a Boolavogue gutter visit runs
Four steps, in the order they actually happen.
The run is cleared
Section by section into the bag. Material that has set is broken up on the spot instead of being pulled the length of the gutter.
The length gets walked
Every section, corners and returns as well, because the part still holding material is usually the part nobody passes. The runs are what we clear.
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.
Everything the visit covers in Boolavogue
The run, all the way round.
Boolavogue, and everywhere on the same sheet
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 Monageer and Oulart on the same run and Ferns up the road.
Wider out we cover Enniscorthy and Gorey, with Ballycanew towards the coast. A picture from below is enough for us to give you a number.
Questions about the price
Answered plainly, including the awkward one.
What does gutter cleaning cost in Boolavogue?
From €75, and the figure follows the run: how many metres, how packed, and how we reach it. Show us the roofline and we will give you the figure, not a bracket.
Is a bungalow cheaper than a two-storey?
Not necessarily. A long single-storey can carry more metres of gutter than a compact two-storey, and metres are what you are paying for. Height matters less than length.
Does it cost more if it has not been done for years?
It can. A run that has packed hard takes longer than one with loose material in it. It is one of the two things that genuinely move a quote, and it will be in the figure you are given beforehand.
Do you do the whole gutter?
We clear the runs — every accessible length of channel along the roofline, emptied and taken away. The run is walked end to end before we pack up.
