Practical exterior upkeep jobs, quoted by scope
Gutter Clearing, Bin Cleaning and Graffiti Removal
This service covers three distinct, practical exterior jobs quoted individually by scope: clearing leaves and debris from gutters to prevent overflow and blockages, cleaning communal or domestic bin stores, and removing graffiti from external walls and surfaces.
Definition
What Gutter, Bin & Graffiti covers
These are grouped together as smaller, defined-scope exterior jobs rather than because they're related tasks. Gutter clearing removes leaves, moss and debris that cause overflow, damp and, over time, damage to fascias if left blocked. Bin store cleaning addresses odour and staining in communal or domestic bin areas. Graffiti removal uses a method suited to the surface — brick, render or paint — to remove or, where full removal risks surface damage, treat and disguise the mark. Each is priced on its own scope rather than under one blanket rate.
Suitable for
- Gutters showing overflow, plant growth, or visible blockage from leaves and debris
- Communal or domestic bin stores needing periodic cleaning to control odour and staining
- Graffiti on external brick, render or painted surfaces
Not suitable for
- Gutter repairs or replacement where the gutter itself is damaged, sagging or leaking — see our guttering, fascias and soffits service for that
- Graffiti on sensitive or listed surfaces requiring specialist heritage cleaning advice — referred to a specialist where relevant

Cost guidance
Gutter clearing, bin cleaning and graffiti removal typically cost £30–£150 per job in our area, with the specific job, scope and property size setting the price within that range. We provide a fixed quotation for the defined scope rather than a blanket rate covering all three.
Limitations and exclusions
- Gutter clearing does not include repairing or replacing damaged guttering, fascias or soffits — quoted separately if found during clearing
- Full graffiti removal cannot always be guaranteed on porous or previously painted surfaces without some residual shadowing — we advise realistically on likely outcome before starting

FAQs
Gutter, Bin & Graffiti FAQs
How often should gutters be cleared?
Annually is a common minimum for most properties, with more frequent clearing useful near overhanging trees — leaving gutters blocked can lead to overflow and, over time, damage to fascias and boards.
Can you always fully remove graffiti?
In most cases yes, but on porous brick or previously painted surfaces some shadowing can remain even after treatment — we assess the surface and give you a realistic expectation before starting rather than promising guaranteed full removal.
Do you clean communal bin stores on a regular schedule?
Yes, this can be arranged as a one-off clean or a regular scheduled visit for managing agents and landlords — let us know what you need when you get in touch.
