Downpipe blockages fall into two categories for clearing, straightforward & Complex. Some downpipes are clogged up with moss, leaves and mulch. Those are the straightforward ones, where debris can be sucked out with the vacuum and then blasted with a jet of water. See the video below of a particularly satisfying unblock.
No animals were harmed in the making of this film!
Others can be more complex with objects blocking the spout at the top, from tennis balls to mortar – To Debris amassing up the fall pipe from the drain upwards. These involve manually clearing from the top or the bottom.
Couldn’t see this until all the debris was sucked from ontop of this.
Number 3 from the top
No 2 Best downpipe unblock
Without question Number 1. The root system was so established it was halfway down the fall pipe. It came out though!
Difficult gutter to clear above extension.
Using gutter vac and jet wash has cleared gutter completely.
Aluminium gutters have traps above the downpipe. Often these get clogged.

Clearly explained what he was going to do and took great care and attention when doing the work which was very reassuring. Amazing equipment meant he was fully prepared to cover very difficult to access parts of the guttering due to our large conservatory. I can highly recommend Mark. Our neighbours have already book him to do their guttering as a result. Thank you for a great and quality professional service.

I have been putting this off for such a long time frightened of getting ripped off. Thank goodness I came across Mark’s website. Didn’t even meet him, but what an excellent job at a great price. I was too late to save one friend from an extortionate price, but have shared with another friend who needs work done. Thank you Mark, I’m ready for the winter winds and rain.

...moreWhat a grafter Mark is! He spent the entire day cleaning my house + garage gutters/fascias/soffits/roof moss in soaring temps. It was a huge job and we’re really delighted with the finished result – it looks fab, all shiny and new again and the downpipes and gutters are now cleared of debris too.
Mark is such an affable, trustworthy and genuine chap that I would not have any hesitation in highly recommending him and for certain we will ask him back here again year on year.
One very happy customer 🙂

I contacted Mark, he came next day, cleaned all gutters spotless and took photos to show me the difference. Very impressed. Mark is professional, trustworthy, prompt and cheap. I have no hesitation recommending him to neighbours, family & friends. Next time I need gutters clearing I wont waste my time trying myself or ringing round, I'll just contact Mark at Guttertidy

I spoke to Mark and arranged to have the work carried out, he was really helpful with assessing the actual problem, professional and friendly and got the work done for a very fair price. I'll definitely be calling Mark again for any future work.

A very thorough and professional gutter clean carried out by Mark. Would certainly use again and recommend to others.

"Mark managed to fit me into his schedule without much notice, so it was nice to get a quick response. I am happy to say that Mark did a great job. When he arrived he showed me through the guttering, but rather than cleaning the whole lot he fixed what was necessary and charged me accordingly. It's refreshing to have someone come round and not try to get the most cash out of a customer that they can. I can absolutely recommend Mark, and will call on him again. He is trustworthy, thorough and does a good job."
All the best,
Simon.
