Gutter cleaning in Elie
Overflowing gutters in Elie? We vacuum out moss, silt and leaf debris, clear the downpipes and show you the result on camera.
A high-end coastal village where second homes and premium holiday lets fill from Easter through to October. Locally that means large sandstone villas let weekly, beach-front apartments, and cottages in Earlsferry, which is exactly the kind of work this service is built around.
We are insured, vetted and locally based in the East Neuk, and Elie sits on an established round — so you get a fixed written price from £65 and a date we actually keep.

Why Elie gutters block when they do
Coastal damp keeps moss growing on Elie roofs almost year-round, and it washes straight into the gutter run. Add autumn leaf fall and a couple of winter gales and an unmaintained gutter here will overflow down a stone wall that then takes months to dry out.
With large sandstone villas let weekly, beach-front apartments, and cottages in Earlsferry near Elie Ness lighthouse and Ruby Bay, a lot of Elie roofs are awkward for ladder work — three-storey gables, conservatories underneath, narrow lanes and no safe footing. The vacuum pole reaches to roughly 12 metres from the ground, so there is no scaffolding cost and no ladder against your render. We also cover St Monans, Pittenweem and Leven.

Gutter cleaning FAQs for Elie
- When should I book gutter cleaning in Elie?
- Late autumn once the leaves are down is ideal, with a spring visit if you have trees or heavy moss. We do run Elie year-round and prioritise active overflows.
- Do you need access to my garden or neighbour's property?
- Usually just standing room at the base of the wall. Because everything is done from the ground, Elie terraces and closes are far less of an obstacle than with ladders.
- Will you show me what you cleared?
- Yes — every Elie job includes before-and-after photos of each gutter run, plus a note of any loose brackets or leaking joints we spot.
- Do you cover the villages around Elie?
- Yes — St Monans, Pittenweem and Leven and the smaller villages in the KY9 area are all on the same round as Elie.
- Are you insured and vetted?
- Fully insured for public and employer's liability, and every team member attending a Elie job is referenced, vetted and trained before they arrive.
