Up on the roof, done properly
Gutter cleaning and solar panel cleaning in Shellharbour
Blocked gutters overflow into eaves and walls, and grimy panels sit under a film of salt and dust. We clear and flush gutters and gently wash solar panels across Shellharbour City, on their own or with a roof clean.

Gutter cleaning
When gutters fill with leaves and silt, rain spills over the front edge, stains the fascia and walls, and soaks the garden bed below. Water can also back up under the roof edge. Downpipes block too, which is often the first sign anyone notices.
- Leaves, silt and debris cleared out
- Gutters flushed so water runs freely
- If we spot rusted sections or loose brackets, we'll let you know
Houses near the reserves and big trees around Albion Park, Calderwood, Blackbutt and the lake foreshore tend to need it more often than homes in open streets.
Solar panel cleaning
Rain rinses some of the dust off panels, but salt and bird droppings tend to stay, especially on panels with a shallow tilt. We clean them with purified water and soft brushes, without pressure washers.
- Purified water and soft brushes
- Bird droppings and salt film removed
- Done from safe access on the roof
- Easy to add to a roof clean
If you're getting your roof cleaned, add gutters and panels. The dirt from the roof heads for the gutters anyway.
Why do it together
On the Shellharbour job featured on our home page, the owner had the roof, solar panels, walls and pavers done in one visit. Working from the top down meant the roof was cleaned first, the panels and gutters next, and the walls and paths last, so nothing got dirty again. It's quicker for us, so it costs you less than three separate bookings.
Not ready for a roof clean? Gutters and panels are fine on their own too. Just send a photo of the house from the street and tell us if it's single or double storey.

Gutter and solar questions
How often should gutters be cleaned in Shellharbour?
It depends on the trees around you. Homes near big gums, along the reserves or under the escarpment side of Albion Park fill up faster. Many houses are fine once a year; some need it more often.
Do you clean solar panels with a pressure washer?
No. Panels are cleaned with purified water and soft brushes, not a pressure washer.
Do dirty solar panels really make a difference?
A film of dust, salt and bird droppings blocks some of the light reaching the cells. Panels near the coast and with a low tilt tend to hold more of it. We clean them so they're not working through a layer of grime.
Can you do gutters and solar on the same visit as the roof?
Yes. If we're cleaning the roof, adding gutters and solar panels is the most efficient way to do it, since we're already up there.
How much does gutter or solar panel cleaning cost?
Both depend on the size of the house, height and access, so you get a free fixed quote. They're cheaper per item when booked with a roof clean.
