How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost in Oxford?
If you’re living in Oxford—whether in a centuries-old stone cottage, a modern townhouse in Botley, or a flat near Cowley Road—one thing’s certain: rain doesn’t discriminate. And neither does the debris that finds its way into your gutters.
Gutter cleaning is one of those household chores that tends to get pushed aside… until you spot a suspicious water mark on your ceiling or green algae streaking down the side of your home. That’s when the question hits:
“How much is this going to cost me?”
The good news is that gutter cleaning in Oxford is probably more affordable than you think. In this guide, we’ll take a friendly (but thorough) look at:
- The average cost of gutter cleaning in Oxford
- What affects the price
- Why it’s worth every penny
- What you get when you book with Ben’s Gutters
- And how we make the whole process easy, quick, and stress-free
Whether you own your home or rent it, it pays to know what you’re dealing with—especially in a city where rainy weather and historic buildings collide.
Why Gutter Cleaning Is So Important in Oxford
Oxford has its fair share of beautiful but older buildings—and with that comes unique maintenance challenges. Stone façades, slate roofs, moss-prone tiles, and narrow streets all contribute to clogged gutters being a regular issue. We’ve also got one of the largest number of parapet and aluminium gutters outside Edinburgh, York and London, so these require specialist care.
And because the city sees its fair share of rainfall, clean gutters aren’t just a “nice to have”—they’re essential.
Clogged gutters can lead to:
- Overflowing water
- Roof leaks
- Internal damp
- Rotten fascias and soffits
- Water pooling around foundations
- Damage to stonework and brick pointing
Most of these problems are much more expensive to fix than a straightforward gutter clean.
That’s where we come in.
These prices include full clearance of debris, downpipe checks, and a general inspection. If any minor repairs are needed, we’ll let you know and either sort it on the spot or arrange a time that suits you.
We also offer multi-property discounts (great for landlords) and can schedule regular maintenance for homes that need extra attention—especially in leaf-heavy areas like Headington, Summertown, or North Hinksey.
What Affects the Price?
Gutter cleaning isn’t a one-size-fits-all service. Our prices start at £69 for the clearance of a bungalow and go up from there depending on the height, complexity and level of clean you require. Here are some of the main things that can influence the cost:
1. Property Height
The taller your home, the trickier the access. Single-storey homes are generally quicker and easier to clean, whereas 3-storey houses may need specialist equipment—like long-reach vacuum systems or harnessed access via ladders.
2. Accessibility
Homes with extensions, conservatories, or narrow alleyways might require extra time or different tools to reach certain areas safely. If you’re unsure, we always offer a free quote over the phone and can let you know exactly what’s involved.
3. Condition of Gutters
A light buildup of dry leaves? That’s a quick job. Gutters that haven’t been touched in years, filled with moss and compacted sludge? That’s going to take longer.
But don’t worry—we’ve seen it all. No judgment here. Whatever state your gutters are in, we’ll get them sorted.
4. Extra Services
Sometimes customers want more than just a clean. You might want your fascias and soffits washed, gutter guards installed, or minor repairs carried out while we’re up there. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll bundle it into a clear quote.
What You Get When You Book with Ben’s Gutters
At Ben’s Gutters, we’re all about making this simple for you. You don’t need to know anything about downpipes or rooflines—that’s our job. Here’s what you can expect when you book a service with us:
✅ Hassle-Free Booking
Call, email, or use our online form. We’ll confirm everything with you quickly, and you don’t even have to be home if access is available.
✅ Fully Trained Technicians
Our team knows what they’re doing. We use the right equipment for the job—whether it’s ladders, vaccuums or a soft wash system.
✅ Thorough Clean
We don’t just clear what we can see. If your downpipe has an issue we can flush this, remove stubborn moss, and ensure your whole drainage system is working like it should. If your downpipe goes straight into the ground and the blockage is further down we’ll let you know and recommend the best next course of action.
✅ Optional Repairs
Spot a leaky joint or sagging bracket while we’re up there? We’ll either fix it straight away or give you a recommendation for what’s needed.
✅ Friendly, Respectful Service
We treat every home like it’s our own. No muddy boots, no mess left behind. Just clean, working gutters and peace of mind.
We’re Local to Oxford—and Proud of It
Ben’s Gutters covers all areas of Oxford and the surrounding towns and villages, from Jericho to Littlemore, Marston to Iffley. We know how varied the housing stock is here—and we tailor our approach to suit your property.
Our cleaners live locally to you, so they know your home like their own.
Whether you live in a Georgian townhome, a post-war semi, or a new-build apartment, we’ve got the experience (and equipment) to keep your gutters in great shape.
We also regularly work with landlords, letting agents, and property managers across Oxfordshire, helping to keep tenanted properties well maintained and safe.
Can Renters Book Gutter Cleaning?
Yes, absolutely. And you might be surprised how many do.
If you’re renting and you’ve noticed water spilling from gutters or mould forming inside, it’s a good idea to let your landlord or letting agent know right away. If they give you the go-ahead to arrange a clean, we can handle everything—from scheduling to invoicing.
Many renters also book gutter cleans at the end of their tenancy to ensure the property is in good condition before handing back the keys.
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned in Oxford?
A general rule of thumb is twice a year—once in spring and again in autumn. This helps remove winter debris and prep for the falling leaves later in the year.
That said, if your home is surrounded by trees (like Summertown, for example), or your roof collects moss easily, you might benefit from quarterly checks.
We offer flexible cleaning plans for customers who want to stay on top of things without the hassle of remembering to book every time. Just ask us about it when you get in touch.
Ultimately the cost will depend on what type of building you have, but for most Oxford homes the prices range from our lowest at £69 to £300+ for large detached houses over two storeys high.
