Before you hire a gutter cleaner
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Gutter cleaning pricing is affected by:
- Roof height. Two-storey and above attracts a significant premium for safety equipment requirements.
- Tree canopy density. Leafy suburbs with mature gum trees have much heavier debris loads than newer estates.
- Roof type. Colorbond roofs are easier to access safely than older tile roofs.
- Add-on services. Leaf guard installation, gutter resealing, and downpipe replacement are all priced separately from the base clean.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

Does a gutter cleaner need a licence in NSW?

Hiring a gutter cleaner in Shalvey
Shalvey (postcode 2770) is in the western part of Blacktown City, around Mount Druitt. A residential suburb in the Mount Druitt area, with mostly older family homes.
Older homes can have original pipes, wiring and roofing, and homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos, for example in fibro sheeting. Tell the business the age of the home and any renovations, and ask how they'll handle anything they find once work starts.
Older gutters can rust through, sag or come away from the fascia. Ask the gutter cleaner to check the condition of the gutters and downpipes while they clear them, and to photograph any sections that need repair or replacing.
If your home in Shalvey is near large trees, gutters and downpipes can fill quickly. Ask the gutter cleaner to clear the downpipes as well, check for rust or sagging sections, and send photos of anything that needs repair.
What to put in your request
Say whether the home is single or double storey, roughly how long the gutters are, whether there are large trees nearby, and whether you want downpipes cleared or leaf guards fitted. Don't include your street address in the description.
What to ask before hiring
Ask whether downpipes are cleared as part of the job, how the business works safely at height, whether it has public liability insurance, and for before-and-after photos.
Licences and rules in NSW
Gutter cleaning doesn't need a trade licence in NSW, but it involves working at height, so ask how the business works safely and whether it has public liability insurance.
Gutter cleaning upkeep through the year
Have gutters and downpipes checked before storm season and after big storms or strong winds, and more often if large trees are nearby. If you have a rainwater tank, keep the inlet screens and first-flush diverters clear.
When a business contacts you, it's fine to ask whether they've done similar jobs nearby and when they could start.
