We look first
From the ground, along the whole run, and at the ground itself. Where the site falls away we work out our positions before anything is touched.
Gutter Cleaning in Kiltealy, Co. Wexford
Sloping sites, soft ground and a good few older houses — this is not ladder country, and it does not need to be. The work happens from the ground, so nothing rests against your walls and nothing has to be propped on a slope.

Why access is the question around Kiltealy
The ground, the houses and the weather all point the same way.
Sloping, softer ground
Kiltealy sits at a crossroads on the Blackstairs-facing side of the parish, and plenty of sites here fall away from the house. A ladder wants level footing, and level footing is exactly what is missing.
Older houses, softer render
A good number of the properties here have been rendered more than once. Ladder feet at the bottom and a ladder head at the top are two ways to mark a wall that did not need marking.
What is in the run is heavy anyway
Traffic-generated road film settles continuously, and spring and summer harvesting on the surrounding farmland adds fine soil dust. That is a material to be drawn out carefully, not raked at from a ladder top.
We work Kiltealy and the Blackstairs-facing parishes on regular rounds. Where a house sits on a slope we will say so in the quote — not because it costs more, but so you know we have seen it and planned for it.
Two ways it gets done
One of them needs level ground and a spotter.
Ladder against the house
The old way
- Wants level footing you may not have
- A ladder head resting on the gutter itself
- Moved along the wall every few feet
HOW WE DO IT
From the ground
Pole and vacuum
- Nothing touching the wall or the run
- Slopes and soft ground make no difference
- The far side gets the same attention
How a Kiltealy gutter visit runs
Four steps, and most of the time goes on the second.
The run is cleared
Bound leaf, road film and soil dust are drawn out of the channel from below. Nothing is dragged along the run, so there is no strain on brackets that may be as old as the render.
Nothing is left half done
The full length is gone over, including the corners, so there is no section quietly holding water behind you. The runs are the work.
The last ten minutes
Bagging, loading and putting the ground back. Then you get told what the run was actually like, which is sometimes better news than people fear.

Doing the roof as well?
Doing both on the same day means one set-up instead of two, and it means the gutters are cleared after the tiles rather than before them — which is the only sensible order.

We are past here often enough that a single gutter clear is no bother to fit in.
The village and the roads towards the Blackstairs, with Caim and Bree across country and Enniscorthy down the road.
Wider out we cover Ferns and Ballyhogue, with Adamstown on the western side. One picture from the driveway usually settles it.
Questions about getting at the gutters
Asked most often by people with a sloping site.
Do you put ladders against the house?
No. The work is done from the ground, which is the whole point on a sloping or soft site — there is nothing resting against a wall and nothing that needs level footing.
Our site falls away at the back. Is that a problem?
Not for us, and it does not add to the price. It is worth mentioning when you send photos so we can plan where we work from, but it changes nothing about the job itself.
Can it be done if we are out?
Yes. We need to get into the garden, so a gate left unlocked is enough. You get a message afterwards with what came out.
What is included in the price?
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.
