When it comes to gutter cleaning in London, how do you know as a customer that you are getting a quality and relaible service for the best possible price?
There are a lot of different gutter cleaning companies in London and from a survey of 10 of these guttering firms, we found that the cost of gutter cleaning in London varies widely between contractors.
We found that gutter cleaning in all London postcodes was interestingly varied.
For example, the difference between gutter cleaning W4, gutter cleaning W13, gutter cleaning W7, gutter cleaning W7 and gutter cleaning in North London postcodes such as NW1, NW2, gutter cleaning NW3, gutter cleaning NW7, gutter cleaning N1 was up to 10% in some places. The trick we found was to try to find a gutter company that is local to your postcode.
The main factor that determines price for guttering is the sixe, height and shape of the building involved.
Other pricing factors include the location in relation to the contractors base and the time of day the customer asks for the gutter repair or cleaning to be undertaken.
From our survey, the following prices we obtained and are meant to be a guide to householders who are looking to have their gutters cleaned within the next 6 months:
Terraced house: £75 – £90
Semi detached: £85-£125
Detached 4 bed: £95 – £180
3 story buildings add 25%
Commercial properties require a commercial gutter cleaning specialist contractor and we were unable to get accurate prices over the phone on this occassion but we will soon be doing a survey for commercial and industrial guttering to assist facilities managers in selecting a commercial gutter maintenace contractor.
4 storey buildings and above with no safe roof top access for gutter cleaning add £400-£600 for cost of cherry picker or abseil access methods
Buildings that require scaffolding for gutter cleaning and repair work add cost of scaffolding. (impossible to estimate as every building will be different)
We also found that many companies will offer a discount if 2 or more householders from the same road in London get together to organise a group gutter clean of 2 or more properties. There are also discounts to be had at different times of the year, for example, gutter cleaning can be up to 15% cheaper during summer months when the contractors can clean and repair more gutters due to longer daylight hours.
Of the 10 companies surveyed, 3 were based in North London, 4 in West London, 2 in South London and 1 in East London.
