This is one of the most common questions we hear, and we always give an honest answer. Multi-story homes can cost more than single-story properties, but it depends on several factors — not just the height of the building.
The main reason taller properties sometimes attract a higher price is the additional equipment, time, and safety measures required. Cleaning gutters on a three-story townhouse, for example, requires longer extension poles, specialist ladder systems, or elevated work platforms that are not needed for a bungalow.
However, height is only one factor in our pricing. The overall length of your gutter run, the level of blockage, the accessibility of the property, and the condition of the guttering all play a role. A large bungalow with 40 metres of guttering may cost more than a small two-story house with 20 metres.
We do not use a one-size-fits-all pricing model. Every quote we provide is based on a specific assessment of your property. When you contact us, we ask for a few details — the type of property, the number of stories, the approximate gutter length, and the last time they were cleaned. This allows us to give you an accurate estimate.
For most standard two-story homes in our service area, the price difference compared to a single-story property is modest. We use ground-based vacuum systems with carbon fibre poles that can reach up to three stories without the need for scaffolding, which keeps costs down.
If your property is particularly tall or has access difficulties — for example, a Victorian townhouse with restricted side access — we will let you know upfront if any additional charges apply. There are never any hidden fees or surprise costs with our service.
We also offer regular cleaning plans for multi-story properties. If you book recurring cleans (for example, twice a year), we can offer a reduced rate that makes it more affordable to keep your gutters in top condition year-round.
