We look first
From the ground, front and back. The number is already agreed, so this is a check rather than a re-negotiation. If it matches the photos, nothing about the price moves.
Gutter cleaning starts at €75. In a town with as many house types as Gorey, the figure moves more between an estate semi and a Main Street terrace than it does between one street and the next.
Where the work starts, not where it lands.
Worked out from what you send us.
The figure you agreed is the figure you pay.
You know before we turn up.
Three things, and you can judge all of them from the ground.
Same town, same trees, and a fair gap between the quotes.
The estate housing that has gone up around Gorey has more metres of gutter than an old terrace and usually clear ground the whole way round. More run, but nothing in the way.
A short front length, a back return that is awkward to reach, and sometimes a shared entry to get through. Not much metreage, but the part that matters takes longer to get at.
Both the older properties and the newer estates have well-established trees nearby, and a run under one of them is a heavier clear than the same run out in the open. That is the one thing that genuinely moves a quote.
Gorey is a busy town on the main route between Dublin and Wexford, so road-facing runs pick up dust continuously as well. We quote from photos taken from the ground, and if yours turns out to be at the cheaper end, that is what you will be told.
Four steps, and the third is the one most people never see done.
From the ground, front and back. The number is already agreed, so this is a check rather than a re-negotiation. If it matches the photos, nothing about the price moves.
Leaf, road dust and silt come out in sections and go into the bag. Where it has packed hard it is lifted rather than dragged, so nothing pulls against the brackets.
The full length is gone over, including the corners, so there is no section quietly holding water behind you. The runs are the work.
Debris goes with us, the ground goes back as we found it, and you get told honestly what the run looked like underneath.
The run, and what the price includes.
These roads are on our sheet already, so getting to you is not the hard part.
The town itself, with Ramstown and Clonattin on the same run and Ballycanew a few minutes out. The estates and the older streets both.
Wider out we cover Courtown and Ballymoney on the coast, with Ferns and Boolavogue inland. One photo from the driveway and you will have a price the same day.
Answered plainly, including the awkward one.
€75 is the floor. What moves it is the length of the run, the state of it and how freely we can work round the house. Send a picture and we will come back with what it comes to.
Usually a little, because there are more metres of gutter on it. What the terrace has instead is awkward access to the back, and the two often land closer together than people expect.
We would be quoting the same thing either way, and you would be waiting days for it. A photo from the ground shows what moves the figure, so you get the number the same day.
Clearing the accessible gutter runs, bagging what comes out, taking it with us and checking the length end to end before we leave. The runs are the job — that is what the figure covers.
A photo from the ground and a couple of details is all it takes. You will have a date and a number back from us, starting at €75.
