Wigan's Trusted Gutter Cleaning Specialist
Blocked gutters are one of those problems that start quietly and end expensively. A little leaf debris, some moss build-up on the roofline, and before you know it you’ve got rainwater backing up behind the fascia board, damp patches creeping down the brickwork, and soggy soffits that cost a fortune to repair.
That’s where Dave Taylor and the team at Total Cleaning North West come in. Based right here in the North West, Dave has built a reputation across Wigan for getting gutters clean, clear, and flowing properly — without drama, without mess, and without any of those nasty hidden charges.
Whether you’ve got a semi-detached in Orrell, a terraced house in Ince, a detached property out in Standish, or a bungalow in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Dave covers it all. If you need professional gutter cleaning in Wigan, you’ve found the right place.
Why Blocked Gutters Are a Bigger Problem Than You Think
It’s easy to overlook the guttering system on your home. It sits quietly up there on the roofline, doing its job — until it doesn’t. When rainwater channels, eaves gutters, downpipes, and gully outlets get blocked with autumn leaves, bird debris, pine needles, moss, and general silt, the consequences can quickly snowball:
Rainwater overflow damages brickwork, pointing, and external render. Standing water in blocked gutters adds significant weight, causing bracket failure and gutter sag. Persistent moisture penetrates cavity walls, leading to internal condensation and mould growth. Overflowing water near foundations increases the risk of subsidence over time. Fascia boards and soffits rot when constantly exposed to trapped moisture
The good news? A professional gutter clean by Dave is far cheaper than any of those repairs. Most properties in Wigan need their gutters cleared once or twice a year after the autumn leaves fall and again in spring, once the winter weather has done its worst.

What's Included in a Gutter Clean with Total Cleaning North West
Dave doesn’t just scoop out the obvious blockages and call it a day. Every gutter cleaning visit with Total Cleaning North West includes a thorough, methodical service from start to finish:
Full Gutter Clearance
Every length of guttering is cleared of leaves, moss, silt, seed debris, and any other organic matter that’s built up over the months. That means eaves gutters, valley gutters, parapet gutters the lot. Nothing is left half-done.
Downpipe Unblocking
Downpipes are the silent culprits behind many gutter problems. Debris compacts inside the pipe, restricting flow, and the water has nowhere to go but over the top of the gutter.
Leak & Joint Inspection
Once the gutters are clean, Dave carries out a post-clean leak inspection — checking gutter joints, unions, end caps, and brackets for signs of failure. Where appropriate, we can re-clip a loose joint, but we do not offer gutter repair work. If we spot a defect, we will explain it and can recommend someone for small repairs.
A Word From Dave
“I’ve been cleaning gutters across Wigan and the wider North West for years, and honestly, I love what I do. There’s something really satisfying about clearing a gutter that’s been blocked solid, watching the water flow freely again, and knowing that the homeowner doesn’t have to worry about damp or overflow for another year.
I run Total Cleaning North West the way I’d want a tradesman to treat my own home on time, honest about what I find, and no messing about with the price. What I quote you is what you pay. Simple as that.
I’m not a faceless call centre or a franchise. When you book with Total Cleaning North West, you get me, Dave and I’ll take as much care of your gutters as I do my own.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Gutter Clearance
How often should gutters be cleaned in Wigan?
Twice a year is the general recommendation for most properties in the North West. The autumn clean (October to December) clears the leaf fall from nearby trees. A spring clean (March to May) clears winter debris, moss spores, and any silt washed down from the roof tiles over the colder months.
What are the signs that my gutters need cleaning?
Look out for water dripping over the front edge of the gutter during heavy rain, dark staining or green algae streaks on your external walls, sagging gutter sections, plants sprouting from the guttering, or damp patches appearing on internal walls near the roofline. Any of these is a clear signal to get them cleared.
Can blocked gutters cause damp inside the house?
Yes, and it’s more common than people realise. When gutters overflow, water saturates the external brickwork. Over time, this moisture migrates inward, causing damp patches, peeling paint, mould growth, and, in severe cases, structural damage to wall ties and lintels. Keeping gutters clear is one of the simplest ways to protect your home.
Do I need to be at home when Dave cleans my gutters?
Not necessarily. As long as there’s clear access to the property and Dave can reach the guttering safely, many customers are out when the work is carried out. You’ll receive your before-and-after photos as confirmation that the job is complete.
Are UPVC gutters and cast iron gutters cleaned the same way?
The clearance process is similar for both, but cast iron guttering requires extra care to avoid cracking or damaging the sections. Dave has experience working with older cast iron systems common in Wigan’s Victorian and Edwardian housing stock, as well as modern UPVC half-round, square-line, and deep-flow gutter profiles.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Wigan?
Pricing depends on the size of your property, the number of storeys, and the length of the guttering run. Dave will give you a fixed price before any work begins. Call or message for a free, no-obligation quote.
You’ll receive photographic evidence of the condition of your gutters before work begins and after it’s completed. That’s your reassurance that the job has been done properly not just a promise, but proof.
