Gutter Cleaning — Beach Avenue, Elwood
A double-storey home in Elwood with 90 metres of guttering under a terracotta tile roof, and gutter guard along the full run. The debris was fine — moss, humus and lichen shed from the tiles themselves. One technician lifted the guard section by section, cleared the run underneath and refitted it. Just over three hours on site, most of it spent on the guard rather than the debris.

The problem
Gutter guard changes this job rather than removing it. Fine material still works through the mesh, and once it settles underneath there is no clearing it from above — the guard has to come off. The source here is the roof itself: the terracotta tiles are heavily colonised by lichen, which sheds continuously.
What we did
The guard was lifted in sections, the run vacuumed clear of moss, humus and lichen, then refitted along the full 90 metres. Refitting is worth doing slowly: a guard put back proud of the gutter lip lifts in wind and lets in more than it keeps out. Ninety metres with one technician is why this ran past three hours.

A driveway on Ruskin Street, Elwood, cleaned at the end of February. Driveways never soil evenly: the wheel tracks stay comparatively clean because tyres scrub them, while the centre strip and edges hold everything else.
