We look first
The first ten minutes are spent looking rather than working. What is overhanging each elevation tells us as much as what is in the channel.
Gutter Cleaning in Monageer, Co. Wexford
Once a year suits plenty of houses around Monageer. What decides it is not the calendar but what is hanging over the roof: a house with mature hedgerow on two sides fills at twice the rate of one out in the open.

The Monageer year, run by run
Two pushes rather than a steady fill.
WinterQuiet, if the autumn clear was done
SpringDitches and hedgerows start shedding
SummerSoil dust from the fields and the roads
AutumnThe heavy one, and the month to book
Why the interval changes house to house around Monageer
Same parish, same weather, and one neighbour needs it twice as often as the other.
What overhangs the run
Mature hedgerow or a big tree within reach of the roof is the single biggest factor. A house with cover on two sides can fill in a season; the same house out in open ground can go two years.
Rural road dust adds to it
Monageer sits on a network of roads connecting the north Wexford parishes, and agricultural and domestic traffic lifts fine dust continuously. It does not fill a gutter on its own, but it binds whatever else is in there.
How long since anyone looked
Most first clears we do here are heavier than they need to be, simply because the run is out of sight. Once a house is on a sensible interval the job gets quicker and cheaper, not dearer.
Around Monageer we tend to find the same pattern: the hedgerow side is a yearly job and the open side would go two. We will tell you which yours is, and if the answer is that it will keep until next autumn, that is what you will hear.
How a Monageer 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.
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.
We leave it tidy
Debris goes with us, the ground goes back as we found it, and you get told honestly what the run looked like underneath.

Doing the roof as well?
Two jobs on one visit costs less than the same two on separate days, because the set-up is only paid for once. It also means the gutters are cleared after the roof rather than before, which is the only order that makes sense.
See roof cleaning in MonageerQuestions about how often gutters need doing
The honest answers, including the ones that cost us a visit.
How often should gutters be cleared around Monageer?
If there is hedgerow or a mature tree over the run, once a year. If the house sits in open ground it can often go longer. Send a photo and we will tell you which yours is.
Does it need doing at all if nothing is overflowing?
Not always, and we will say so. A run that is still carrying water and has no growth in it can wait. What you do not want is to find out it was full by seeing it come over the front.
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.
What does it cost around Monageer?
Gutter cleaning starts at €75. Yours depends on three things: the length of run, how packed it is, and how we reach it. Send a picture and we will come back with what it comes to.
