Altitude Roofing has been clearing gutters across Edinburgh and the Lothians since 2014. Blocked gutters cause expensive secondary problems, water overflows behind fascia boards and down external walls, causing timber rot, internal damp, and in serious cases structural damage. The clean itself is cheap. The damage it prevents isn't.
We clear gutters on traditional tenements, terraced and semi-detached homes, new builds with uPVC systems, period properties with original ironwork, and commercial premises across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian. Downpipe clearance is included as standard, no extra charge. Every job comes with a written condition report flagging any repairs needed.

Most Edinburgh gutter cleaners charge for scaffolding on any property over single-storey height, often the largest line on the invoice. We own cherry pickers, high-reach vacuum systems and elevated work platforms outright, which means most two-storey properties are cleared without scaffold at all. For complex rooflines, very tall buildings or tenements with restricted street access we'll flag the need for scaffolding at quote stage, so there are no surprises.
Every clean includes downpipe clearance, condition report on the gutter run, and confirmation that water flows freely from gutter to drain. The price you agree is the price you pay.
Every gutter clean follows the same five-step process. The condition report at the end is what separates a clean that catches problems early from one that just shifts the leaves.
We visit your property, identify access requirements and check for any existing damage before giving you a price.
Our own equipment, high-reach vacuum systems, elevated work platforms or ladders, depending on your property. Scaffolding rarely needed, and we'll always tell you upfront if it is.
Leaves, moss, silt and compacted blockages removed completely from every gutter run. Not just shifted along, removed.
We confirm water flows freely from gutter to drain. Any blockages in the downpipes are cleared on the spot.
We flag any repairs needed, cracked joints, sagging runs, corroded sections, without pressuring you into additional work. Yours to keep.
Gutter cleaning costs depend on your property type, access difficulty and the condition of the gutters. Standard semi-detached homes sit at the lower end, tenements with restricted access and heavily blocked systems run higher. We give you a fixed quote rather than a per-metre estimate that shifts mid-job. Because we own our access equipment outright, our prices are typically more competitive than contractors relying on daily hire rates.
We visit your property, check access requirements, and identify any existing damage before giving you a price.
Every gutter run inspected, any issues photographed and flagged. Yours to keep whether you proceed or not.
Materials, labour, access, VAT. No per-metre creep, no extras added on the day.
Standard semi-detached cleans done in under two hours. Larger properties may take longer, we confirm timeline at quote.
We cover Edinburgh postcodes EH1–EH17, plus Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian. Edinburgh's frequent rain days and heavy tree cover make regular gutter maintenance essential, particularly on older properties where blocked gutters can cause damage quickly.
Best times to clean: late autumn (after leaf fall, typically November) and spring (March, April). A pre-winter clear is strongly advised, particularly for older Edinburgh properties where freeze-thaw can split blocked guttering and force water behind fascias. We accommodate urgent bookings, including same-day appointments when slots are open.
