Gutter Cleaning in West Mersea
West Mersea is the town on Mersea Island, known for its oysters, houseboats and beach huts, and reached over the Strood causeway, which floods at the highest tides. With water on every side, island gutters fill with more than just leaves. We clear them with a high-reach vacuum from the ground.
Your price depends on the size of the house, not the postcode, and you can see it in a few taps below.

Island wind and grit
Strong winds drive sand and grit onto roofs right across the island, not only on the front, and every shower washes it down into the gutters, where it settles like silt. Gulls and waders add feathers and nesting scraps. Inland, behind hedges and garden trees, autumn leaves pile in on top.
Homes range from old fishermen’s cottages near the waterfront to bungalows and family houses inland. The cottages may have smaller, older gutters, and the vacuum puts no weight on them. Bungalows are among the quickest homes we do.
When to book
A clear before the autumn gales gives the gutters their best chance through winter. Garages and outbuildings can be added to the same visit. Downpipes on island homes get a careful check before we leave, because salt and grit can settle in the bends where you can’t see them.
Cottage gutters and island bungalows
Inside the town, many streets are lined with bungalows whose low gutters fill with a mix of grit and garden leaves. They’re quick to clear, and customers often add a garage or a summer house at the same time.
Salt and sand across the island
On an island, nowhere is far from the sea, so salt and blown sand reach gutters right across Mersea, not just along the front.
Homes near the waterfront and the beach huts take the most wind and grit, but even houses well inland on the island collect salt and sand. Bungalows are common, and their low gutters are quick to clear. Taller family homes and older cottages near the waterfront are cleared just as easily from the ground with the vacuum’s long poles.
What happens on the day
Everything is cleared from below with an industrial vacuum on extending poles. Moss that has rooted in the gutter is lifted out along with the loose debris around it. The machine keeps the muck contained, which matters on a wet day when gutter debris is at its worst. We’ll tell you about anything that looks loose or damaged while we’re there.
Before we arrive
To make the West Mersea visit go smoothly, it helps if we can get round to the back of the house. Unlock any side gates, and move cars off the drive if they’re parked right under the gutters. Let us know about pets, and about any areas of the garden you’d like us to keep clear of.
