Gutter cleaning
in Nivelles
Full clear-out of gutters and downpipes, check of the fixings, water test. We do this in Nivelles from our base in Walloon Brabant, always with a pricing visit before anything is agreed.

The context in Nivelles
Why here in particular
The old centre imposes constraints on colour and material: we always check before ordering roof covering. So we adapt the equipment and the method rather than running a standard protocol.
A blocked gutter overflows against the facade. Within a few winters the brick soaks up water, the render blisters and the base of the wall turns damp on the inside. It is the smallest piece of maintenance that costs the most when you forget it.

Frequently asked questions
Gutter cleaning in Nivelles
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Do you repair leaks while you are there?
A leaking joint, yes, if it is a matter of redoing mastic or a solder run. Replacing a section is quoted separately.
Do you need to be there?
No. Access around the house and to water is enough.
Do you work from a ladder or a platform lift?
A ladder with a stabiliser in most cases. A cherry picker if the height or the access requires it, and that is stated in the quote.
Do you come out to Nivelles with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Nivelles is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
