Sydney’s friendliest gutter crew
We’re the Inner West’s own gutter crew, not a citywide call centre. Marrickville, Newtown, Balmain, Leichhardt, Ashfield and the rest of the neighbourhood, cleaned by people who actually live here. Fully insured, same-week bookings, a photo report on every job.
60-second walkthrough
Servicing homes and strata across
Walk down almost any street from Marrickville to Balmain and you’re under a canopy: jacarandas, plane trees, camphor laurels, fig trees planted decades ago by the council or the owner before you. It looks beautiful in November. It’s also why Inner West gutters fill up faster than a new-build in the outer suburbs with a bare tile roof.
Meanwhile the gutter keeps filling, the downpipe keeps clogging, and the first you hear about it is water coming through the ceiling during the next east coast low.
We didn’t build this business to sell you a subscription. We built it to make sure your gutters are the last thing you think about during a storm.
The same process on every roof, whether it’s a Marrickville terrace or a Leichhardt double-storey.
We check every metre of gutter, the downpipes, valleys and the roof itself for anything beyond a straightforward clean before we start.
Leaves, twigs, moss and silt cleared by hand or vacuum, bagged and removed. Nothing gets left in garden beds or on the lawn.
Every downpipe flushed with water to confirm it’s actually running clear, not just clear at the gutter end.
Before-and-after photos and a short written note on anything we spotted, rust spots, loose brackets, cracked flashing, so nothing surprises you later.
Same crew, same four-step process. The only question is how often you want us back.

Get a Free QuoteEvery metre of gutter cleared by hand or vacuum, including valleys and hard-to-reach sections.
Water run through every downpipe to confirm it exits clear at the bottom, not just clear at the top.
All leaf litter and silt bagged and taken to green waste, not landfill, and kept out of the stormwater drains that feed the Cooks River. We don’t leave a pile on your lawn either.
A simple photo record of the job, handy if you ever need it for an insurance claim or a strata report.
Anything we spot beyond a clean, rust, loose brackets, cracked flashing, noted so you can decide what to do next.
A loose bracket or a small re-seal we can do there and then, we usually just do it rather than quoting a second visit.
Sample feedback from recent jobs. Real reviews from Google will replace these as they come in.
“Our box gutter had been overflowing onto the party wall for months and two other guys wouldn’t touch it. These guys sorted it in an afternoon and sent photos of the whole thing.”
“Booked the twice-a-year plan after the jacaranda out front dropped half its leaves straight into our gutters. Haven’t thought about it since, they just turn up.”
“Fast quote, turned up on time, and pointed out a cracked flashing we didn’t know about before it became a real problem. Straightforward and no upsell.”

Inner West Gutter Cleaner is a small local team who know the difference between a Federation box gutter and a standard eaves gutter, because we’ve cleared hundreds of both, on streets we walk down ourselves. We started this business because too many Inner West owners were being quoted Sydney-wide rates by companies who’d never actually seen a terrace roof up close, let alone cared what happened to the leaf litter once it left your yard.
That last part matters to us. Overflowing gutters don’t just damage your roof, they wash straight into the stormwater drains that feed the Cooks River. So every load we clear gets bagged and sent to green waste, not landfill, and we’re careful not to hose silt straight down the drain. Small thing, but it’s the kind of small thing that adds up when a few thousand Inner West roofs are doing it.
Tell us your suburb and roof type. We’ll come back with a price, usually within one business day.
The Inner West Gutter Season Checklist: what to check before spring storms and after autumn leaf drop. Free, takes a minute.
It depends on the length of your gutters, the roof pitch and how long it’s been since your last clean. We quote every job on the spot, in person or from photos, before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Most Inner West homes under street trees like jacarandas, plane trees or figs need a clean twice a year, before storm season in spring and after leaf drop in autumn. Homes without much overhanging canopy can often stretch to once a year. See our full guide.
Yes, we carry public liability insurance and our team is trained in safe roof access, including harness use on steep or terrace roofs.
Yes. Inner West terraces, semis and strata blocks are the bulk of our work, including tricky box gutters and shared roof access that a standard suburban ladder job doesn’t cover.
Yes, we supply and install mesh gutter guard, including ember-resistant guard that meets AS3959 for homes near bushland reserves. See our gutter guard page for details.
