Taken from each firm’s own website, checked on 15 October 2026. None of the pages says whether VAT applies. M&C Roofing & Building says it charges no call-out fee and prices tower or scaffold access separately. Your own house may cost more or less.

What a clear should include
A full clear empties leaves, moss and silt from each gutter and tests that water flows down each downpipe. Ask whether the firm takes the waste away.
Ask for photos before and after. From the ground, you cannot see inside most gutters.
What pushes the price up
The size of the house matters most. A three-storey Victorian house in Oxford costs more to clear than a bungalow.
- Three storeys, or a tower or scaffold for access.
- Long gutter runs, or many valleys and downpipes.
- Heavy blockage after years without a clear.
- A conservatory or extension under the gutter.
- Repairs found during the clear, such as a leaking joint.
If you clear them yourself
Take care on a ladder. HSE says a ladder suits only short, low-risk work. For longer work, it says to use other equipment.
