Professional gutter flushing - beyond basic clearing to full system flush. All silt and fine debris removed, downpipes properly cleared, complete confidence in drainage.
When Clearing Isn't Enough
Sometimes gutters need more than debris removal. Years of silt buildup, compacted mud, and fine sediment needs proper flushing to restore full flow.
💡 Pro tip: If you've never had gutters done, or it's been many years, flushing gets them back to full function. Annual clearing maintains from there.

🔧 DIY Tips
Flushing gutters yourself? Here's the approach:
🔧 What you'll need
- Hosepipe with good pressure
- Spray nozzle
- Ladder access
- Bucket for initial debris
📐 Flushing process
- Clear visible debris first
- Start at far end from downpipe
- Flush water along gutter
- Watch for restricted flow
- Clear any slow points
- Verify downpipe flows freely
⚠️ What to watch
- Overflowing means blockage
- Slow flow means restriction
- Gurgling downpipe means partial block
💡 Pro trick: Steady water flow is better than blasting. You're testing the system as much as cleaning it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between clearing and flushing?
Clearing removes the main debris - leaves, moss, obvious blockages. Flushing takes it further - water forced through to shift silt, check flow rates, and ensure everything's properly clear.
When is flushing needed over clearing?
If gutters haven't been touched in years, if there's visible sediment buildup, or if you want maximum assurance everything's working. Annual clearing prevents the need for heavy flushing.
Do you use a pressure washer?
We use appropriate pressure - enough to shift debris without damaging seals or creating mess. Controlled water flow is more effective than brute force for gutter work.
Will flushing fix slow-draining gutters?
Often yes - the restriction is usually silt buildup rather than damage. Flushing clears the path. If water still pools, there may be a slope issue we can identify and advise on.
