Northcote Gutter Cleaning
State-era homes and new townhouse developments side by side, with mixed roof types.
Roof and Gutter Cleaning Northcote
Northcote is changing faster than most Shore suburbs. Original state-era houses with simple hip roofs and short gutter runs now sit alongside dense new townhouse developments with steep pitches, multiple levels and shared boundaries, sometimes on what used to be a single section. The two need quite different approaches.
The older homes are usually straightforward but have often gone a long time between cleans, so the material is compacted and has to come out by hand. The new townhouses are the opposite — clean gutters, but tight access, three levels, and downpipes that discharge into a shared stormwater connection where one blockage affects several units. We work both, we bag everything, and we flush the full system rather than the parts that are easy to reach.
Our Services in Northcote
Everything we do for Northcote homes, from a one-off gutter clear-out to a full roof repaint. One team, one point of contact, one fixed price.
01 Gutter Cleaning
State-era homes here often go years between cleans, so the material compacts and has to be lifted out by hand before a flush does anything. We clear it, bag the lot and flush the full system.

02 Gutter Repair
Where standing water has sat in a neglected run, the base of the gutter rusts through from the inside. We check for it as we clear, then reseal, re-bracket or replace the section honestly.

03 Gutter Guard Installation
On a tight townhouse site, cutting repeat visits to awkward three-level gutters makes guard worth a look. We assess the access and the roof and tell you plainly whether it suits your block.

04 Roof Cleaning
Simple hip roofs on the older homes and steep pitches on the new townhouses both grow moss on their shaded sides. We soft wash and treat it gently rather than forcing it off with pressure.

05 Roof Painting
For a roof past cleaning, we prep, prime and coat with Resene and Dulux, whether it is a short state-era run or the steeper multi-level pitch of a newer townhouse.

06 House Washing
Mould and grime gather on cladding across both the older houses and the dense new builds. We soft wash it off gently, and on a shared townhouse site we keep the runoff tidy.

Yes. It is most of the new build in Northcote. Access between units is usually the constraint rather than the height, so we look at the site when quoting. Where the only safe position is on a neighbour's side we will tell you in advance rather than turning up and finding out.
We do that regularly for townhouse blocks and body corporates in Northcote, and it is usually cheaper per unit than booking individually because we are already set up on site. Send us the addresses and we will price the group.
It makes it a longer job rather than an impossible one. After a few years the material compacts into something closer to soil than leaf litter and has to be lifted out by hand before flushing does anything. We will also check whether the standing water has started to rust the base of the gutter.
Compact single-storey homes start around $172.50 including GST and standard homes run $218.50 to $264.50. Three-level townhouses are quoted individually because access varies so much. Quotes are free and fixed once we have the address.
Always. It is bagged and removed rather than tipped into a garden or a shared bin. On a townhouse site with communal grounds that matters more than usual, and it is not something we would leave for someone else to deal with.
