Gutter Cleaning Cork — Professional High-Access Unblocking

Heavy Irish rainfall, autumn leaves, and continuous moss growth from roof tiles quickly choke your guttering system. When gutters fill with dense silt and debris, rainwater overflows over fascia boards, soaking into rafter ends and pooling around your home's foundation.

Our certified in-house crew uses specialized high-access machinery to clear, flush, and restore your guttering system fast.

1. Manual Deep Gutter Unblocking & Sludge Extraction

We scoop out heavy moss, accumulated silt, pine needles, and weed growth from your gutter runs by hand and tool, ensuring every linear metre is stripped completely clear down to the bare UPVC channel.

2. Downpipe Clearing & High-Pressure Flushing

A clean gutter is useless if the downpipe is packed with moss. We unblock stubborn downpipe bends, clear swan-necks, and flush the entire system with water to guarantee unrestricted flow straight into gully drains.

3. Exterior UPVC Gutter, Fascia & Soffit Washing

In addition to clearing the insides, we softwash the exterior faces of your UPVC gutters, fascia, and soffit boards—removing green algae, black traffic grime, and water streak stains to make your roofline look brand new.

4. Gutter Health & Joint Inspection

While clearing your gutters, our experienced roofers inspect all union joints, rubber gaskets, end caps, and wall brackets. If we spot a loose clip or perished seal, we alert you immediately and can fix it on the spot.

5. Commercial & Multi-Story Gutter Cleaning

Using our own Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), we safely clean gutters on three-story townhouses, apartment blocks, commercial units, and rear extensions where ground-based poles or standard ladders cannot reach.

Many cleaning companies rely solely on ground-based vacuum poles that cannot see inside gutters or clear heavy, compacted mud roots, while others rest heavy ladders directly against fragile UPVC gutters, cracking brackets and warping channels. Velro Roofing Solutions does it right.

• In-House High-Access MEWPs: We operate our own fleet of cherry pickers and spider lifts. This lets us position our tradesmen directly alongside high rooflines, gable ends, and rear extensions to inspect and clear gutters by hand with zero risk of crushing your gutters.

• 100% In-House Trade Experience: We are qualified roofer-contractors, not basic window washers. We understand roof structures, drainage fall angles, and water ingress points.

• Complete System Testing: We never leave a job without water-testing your downpipes to verify that water moves freely away from your property.

• Upfront, Fixed Pricing: Clear, transparent quotes based on your property layout with zero hidden call-out fees or unexpected extras.

When heavy rain falls on a house with blocked gutters, water is forced into areas that can cause severe structural damage:

• 1. Rafter & Fascia Timber Rot: Overflowing water sits behind the gutter, soaking directly into wooden fascia boards and structural rafter feet.

• 2. External Render Cracking: Continuous water cascading down exterior walls penetrates brickwork mortar and cracks outer plaster render during winter frost cycles.

• 3. Internal Wall & Ceiling Damp: Water running down exterior walls breaches damp-proof courses (DPC), manifesting as bubbling paint, black mold, and ceiling stains.

• 4. Ground Pooling & Foundation Strain: Water dumping directly beside house walls collects around footings, creating localized ground saturation and interior floor damp.

Routine gutter clearing eliminates these failure points, keeping your home dry and protecting your property value.
