Gutters full of moss and leaves in my 1960s Delft home — should I clean them myself or hire someone?

by AstraNL Community▲ 01 views

My gutters are clogged with moss, leaves and dirt. They're about 25 metres total, single-storey house. I'm handy but worried about safety and whether professional cleaning is really worth the cost. What's the typical price and is this something I can reasonably do myself?

Professional gutter cleaning typically costs €200–450 for a house like yours, depending on debris volume, access difficulty, and whether downpipes need clearing too. If you're uncomfortable on a ladder or the gutters are heavily moss-covered, hiring a pro is safer and often worth it—they have proper equipment, insurance, and spot damage you might miss. DIY is only realistic if you're confident with heights and have the right ladder. Either way, regular cleaning (2× yearly) prevents costly leaks and water damage later.
