How Much Does Gutter Cleaning in Sydney Cost?

Gutter cleaning might not be the flashiest part of owning a home, but in Sydney, it’s a must. With trees dropping leaves all year and sudden downpours always on the cards, keeping your gutters clean and clear is vital for protecting your property.

So, how much will it actually set you back? The short answer: it depends. Here’s why.

Why Gutter Cleaning Matters in Sydney

Sydney’s lush greenery looks great—but it clogs gutters fast. Throw in storms, nesting birds, possums, and even the odd toy, and you’ve got a perfect storm for blockages.

Blocked gutters can lead to:

  • Overflow that damages eaves and walls
  • Water leaks indoors and stained ceilings
  • Foundation dramas from poor drainage
  • A spike in pests like mozzies and rodents

It’s easy to put off—but expensive to ignore.

Our Gutter Cleaning Pricing Approach

No two homes are the same, which is why we price every job individually after a free on-site inspection. Photos and general info help, but they don’t give us the full story. We need to see:

  • The state of your gutters
  • How much muck and blockage there is
  • How tricky or risky the access is

Only then can we offer a personalised quote that’s spot-on—so you’re getting fair pricing tailored to your property.

Pricing Guide (Starting From)

Property Type

Starting Price (ex. GST)

Single-storey home

From $350 + GST

Double-storey home

From $450 + GST

Triple-storey home

From $550 + GST

Keep in mind, these are starting prices. The final cost can shift depending on access, the condition of your gutters, and any extras you’d like included.

What Can Influence Your Quote?

1. Size and Height of Your Property

Bigger home? More gutters. Double or triple-storey? More gear, more safety steps.

2. Condition of Your Gutters

If they’re chockers with compacted gunk, weeds, or have rust spots, the job might take longer and cost a bit more.

Got gutter guards? We may need to remove and reinstall parts to clean properly underneath—adds to the labour and time.

3. Tricky Access

Steep roofs, limited entryways, or high spots can mean we’ll need:

  • Safety harnesses or anchor systems
  • Elevated work platforms or ladders

We don’t take shortcuts on safety, and that can affect your quote.

4. Optional Add-ons

A lot of clients ask us to do extra work while we’re up there. We can bundle in:

  • Skylight cleaning
  • Gutter guard removal and re-fit
  • Clearing roof debris
  • Bird-proofing solar panels
  • Installing anchor points
  • Light tree trimming near the roofline

Let us know during your inspection, and we’ll build it into your tailored quote.

5. Your Suburb and the Season

Homes in leafy areas like Wahroonga, Turramurra, or Lane Cove usually need more regular and thorough cleaning.

Autumn is peak time, so bookings fill up quickly and prices can reflect demand. Scheduling during quieter seasons—like winter or late summer—can sometimes mean a better rate.

How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?

Gutters should be cleaned at least once a year
  • Minimum: Once a year (best after autumn)
  • Best practice: Twice a year—spring and autumn

If you’ve got large trees nearby or your gutters have overflowed before, we strongly suggest cleaning them twice annually.
