Blocked gutters can cause serious problems for your property, especially during periods of heavy rain. Leaves, moss, dirt and other debris can prevent rainwater from draining properly, causing gutters to overflow and water to run down your walls.
At FG Construction Cork, we provide professional gutter cleaning across Cork. We remove accumulated debris, clear blockages and check the condition of your guttering to help keep rainwater flowing away from your property.
Whether you need a one-off gutter clean or regular maintenance, we provide a straightforward service for homeowners, landlords and commercial property owners.

Professional Gutter Cleaning in Cork
Your gutters are designed to collect rainwater from the roof and direct it safely into the drainage system. When they become blocked, water can spill over the edges, soak exterior walls and collect around the base of your property.
Regular gutter cleaning helps prevent these problems and allows you to spot damage before it becomes more expensive to repair.
Our gutter cleaning service removes leaves, moss, silt and other debris from accessible guttering. We also check for visible signs of damage, including loose brackets, leaking joints and sagging sections.
We clean gutters on a range of residential and commercial properties throughout Cork, helping keep drainage systems clear and working as they should.
Our Gutter Cleaning Services
Residential Gutter Cleaning
Leaves, moss and roof debris can quickly build up in the gutters around your home. This is particularly common near trees or on roofs where moss accumulates over time.
We clean residential gutters to remove blockages and help rainwater drain away properly. We also look for visible signs of wear that may need attention.
Commercial Gutter Cleaning
Commercial buildings can have extensive guttering systems that collect large amounts of rainwater. If these gutters become blocked, overflowing water can damage walls, entrances and other parts of the building.
We provide gutter cleaning for suitable commercial properties, helping businesses maintain their roof drainage and reduce the risk of water-related damage.
Blocked Gutter Clearing
A blocked gutter can prevent water from reaching the downpipe, causing it to overflow during rainfall. Leaves, moss, twigs and compacted dirt are common causes.
We remove the accumulated debris and check that the affected gutter section is clear. Where possible, we also check that water can move towards the outlet without obvious restrictions.
Downpipe Clearing
Downpipes carry rainwater from the gutters to the drainage system. If a downpipe becomes blocked, water can back up and overflow from the gutter above.
We check accessible downpipe openings and clear blockages where possible. If the blockage is deeper within the drainage system, further investigation may be needed.
Gutter Cleaning for Terraced Houses
Terraced houses often have guttering positioned above narrow side passages, rear extensions and shared boundaries. Access can be more challenging, particularly where neighbouring buildings are close together.
We assess the access available and clean the guttering using a suitable method for the property.
Gutter Cleaning for Flats and Apartment Buildings
Gutters on flats and apartment buildings may be difficult to reach and can collect debris across long roof edges. Regular cleaning helps prevent blockages from affecting multiple areas of a building.
We assess the property, access requirements and extent of the guttering before recommending the appropriate cleaning service.
Gutter Cleaning for Extensions and Garages
Extensions, garages, sheds and other outbuildings can also suffer from blocked gutters. Flat-roof extensions may have outlets that become restricted by leaves and debris.
We clean suitable guttering around these structures and check for visible signs of drainage problems.
Gutter Cleaning After Autumn and Storms
Autumn is a common time for gutters to become blocked as leaves fall from nearby trees. Strong winds can also deposit twigs, moss and other debris onto roofs and into gutters.
Arranging a clean after heavy leaf fall or severe weather can help restore drainage and identify any damage caused by debris or storms.
What’s Included in Our Gutter Cleaning Service?
Our gutter cleaning service can include:
- Removing leaves, moss and loose debris.
- Clearing accessible gutter blockages.
- Checking accessible downpipe openings.
- Inspecting visible joints and connections.
- Checking for loose or sagging sections.
- Identifying visible cracks and leaks.
- Highlighting repairs that may be needed.
The exact work depends on your property, the condition of the gutters and the access available. Any additional repairs can be discussed separately.
Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning
Look out for these common signs of blocked gutters:
- Water spilling over the gutter edges.
- Plants or moss growing inside gutters.
- Leaves visible around the outlets.
- Water dripping during rainfall.
- Downpipes that appear blocked.
- Damp marks below the roofline.
- Debris falling from the guttering.
- Water collecting near the foundations.
You may not always be able to see a blockage from the ground. If your gutters have not been cleaned for some time, arranging an inspection can help establish whether they need attention.
Why Is Regular Gutter Cleaning Important?
Gutter cleaning is an important part of property maintenance. Keeping the system clear helps rainwater drain away from the roof and reduces the chance of blockages causing damage.
Helps prevent overflowing: Clear gutters allow rainwater to flow towards the downpipes instead of spilling over the edges.
Protects exterior walls: Overflowing water can stain brickwork, damage render and contribute to damp problems.
Reduces standing water: Removing debris helps prevent water from becoming trapped in blocked sections.
Helps protect foundations: Proper drainage reduces the amount of roof water spilling directly beside the building.
Helps identify damage: Cleaning provides an opportunity to spot visible cracks, loose brackets and leaking joints.
Supports roof maintenance: Removing accumulated debris helps keep the roof drainage system in better condition.
Gutter cleaning cannot prevent every drainage problem, but it can reduce avoidable blockages and help you identify issues before they become more serious.
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?
The right cleaning frequency depends on the location of your property, the amount of nearby vegetation and the design of your roof.
For many properties, cleaning once or twice a year is a sensible starting point. Homes surrounded by trees, or buildings that collect a lot of moss and roof debris, may need more frequent attention.
Consider arranging gutter cleaning:
- After the main autumn leaf fall.
- In spring to remove winter debris.
- After storms if debris has collected on the roof.
- More frequently if your gutters block repeatedly.
If your gutters overflow regularly despite being cleaned, the problem may involve the gutter’s alignment, outlet capacity, downpipe or roof drainage design. In these cases, further inspection may be needed rather than simply cleaning the system again.
Our Gutter Cleaning Process
1. Initial Enquiry
Tell us about your property and any problems you have noticed. Let us know if the gutters are overflowing, visibly blocked or have not been cleaned for some time.
2. Assess the Property
We consider the height of the building, the layout of the guttering, the amount of debris and the access required to carry out the work safely.
3. Clear the Guttering
We remove accumulated leaves, moss and debris using a suitable cleaning method for the property and access conditions.
4. Check the Visible Condition
We check the accessible guttering for remaining blockages and visible signs of damage. If repairs or further investigation are advisable, we explain the next steps.

How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost in Cork?
The cost of gutter cleaning in Cork depends on the size of the property, the length of the guttering and the amount of debris that needs to be removed.
Other factors include the height of the building, access restrictions, the type of roof and whether specialist access equipment is required. A small house with straightforward access will generally cost less to clean than a large property or commercial building with extensive guttering.
