Commercial gutter cleaning cost?

I manage a small block of flats and the gutters have not been touched in years. How do firms usually price commercial gutter cleaning, per metre or per visit? Should I also get on a regular schedule with someone for this or just as and when we think it has been a while or we notice an issue?

"Commercial gutter cleaning is usually priced according to the size and height of the building, length of guttering, accessibility and amount of debris.

For a small block of flats, a one-off clean could be a few hundred pounds, while larger or more difficult properties may cost more. Regular maintenance contracts can be more cost-effective and help prevent blockages, overflowing gutters and water damage.

For a block of flats, I would recommend getting a site assessment or providing the approximate number of flats/storeys and guttering length so a firm price can be given."

"For a small block of flats, gutter cleaning companies usually charge either a fixed price per visit or based on the length of the gutters. Since the gutters haven’t been cleaned for years, I’d get an initial deep clean and then put them on a regular schedule, probably twice a year (spring and autumn). That’s better than waiting until there’s an obvious problem."

"Hi, it will go on the size of the property, some more details are needed please.

Size of property and rough height please as different gear would be needed depending on hight and size.

Hope this helps a little"

"Price will depend on hight access and how many meters.

"For the fact that it hasn’t been cleaned for years, proper deep cleaning is recommended to be carry out to ascertain how subsequently cleaning will be planned.
For the cost, usually it starts from £20-35 per hour. It all depends on the area as well."

"Hi I should get a survey/ quote - and maybe have them done yearly - obviously, keeping them clean is key to stop damp getting into your Blocks - and keeping them maintained is a must"

""Hello. Since the premises haven't been cleaned for years, we recommend a deep cleaning to determine how the next cleaning will be organized.
Costs typically start at £25-35 per hour + VAT. This depends on the size of the premises."

"Commercial gutter cleaning is normally priced either per metre or as a fixed price for the building, rather than simply per visit. As a rough guide, you’re looking at around £4–£12 per linear metre, although difficult access, height, condition and the amount of debris can push the price up."
