Gutter Cleaning in Brantford

Brantford calls itself the Telephone City, and the Bell Homestead in Tutela Heights, where Alexander Graham Bell's family lived, is a National Historic Site. That history has a practical side for us. On many houses the power and phone lines land right at the roof edge, and that is exactly where a ladder wants to go. Before we set up, we look up. Ladders and poles stay well clear of any line, and if one crosses the work, we plan around it or tell you the edge cannot be reached safely.

Trees are the other half of a gutter clean here. The city has been growing since the 1820s, so older streets have had time to grow tall. Maple pods plug the outlets in spring, and the big leaf drop comes between late October and the end of November. Wet leaves and grit pack into a paste at the downspout bends, so we flush each downspout with water after clearing it.

The price starts from $125. Each roofline goes on the written quote with its storey count. Tall or steep edges are planned before anyone climbs, and the crew is Working at Heights certified.

What we plan for in Brantford

• Overhead lines: before setting a ladder, we look for service lines at the roof edge, and keep ladders and poles well clear of them.
• Older trees: we note which ones reach over each roof and what falls from them, so we can predict where the runs will block first.
• Downspout bends: we flush each downspout after clearing it, since wet leaves and grit pack tightest at the elbows.
• Storey count: we ask how many storeys each roofline has, and plan the ladder work for the tallest edges.
• Debris removal: we agree where debris goes before we start, so it is hauled away and not left piled by the driveway.
