If you're trying to work out what a gutter clean should cost in Melbourne, the short answer is this: single storey homes generally run between $150 and $220, and double storey between $220 and $320.
What moves the price up or down is worth understanding before you book.
Typical Price Ranges
| Property type | Price range | |---|---| | Single storey | $150 – $220 | | Double storey | $220 – $320 |
Prices vary based on property size, roof configuration and access. We provide a firm quote before any work starts.
What Affects the Price
Property size is the main driver. A compact single storey home with standard eave gutters and straightforward access is a simpler job than a large double storey on a sloping block with restricted side access.
Roof type matters too. Homes with valleys — the internal corners where two roof sections meet — accumulate debris faster and take longer to clear. Properties with flat or low-pitch sections, common in newer SE Melbourne estate builds, often have internal box gutters that require more careful clearing than standard eave gutters.
Access is the third factor. A ground-floor gutter on a flat block is straightforward. The same gutter on a steep block where the eave sits at second-storey height is a different proposition. Restricted access — locked side gates, no clearance for ladders — adds time and affects pricing.
What's Typically Included
A standard professional gutter clean should cover:
- Full debris clearance from all gutters and valleys
- Downpipe flushing
- Basic roofline inspection
- Written job report on completion
Some operators include a written report; some don't. It's worth confirming what's included when you get a quote.
What shouldn't be in a standard quote: structural repairs, re-securing loose gutters, downpipe replacements. These are separate jobs that cost more and require specific trades.
SE Melbourne Pricing Context
Across Berwick, Cranbourne, Officer, Clyde North and surrounding suburbs, pricing sits in line with the Melbourne-wide averages above.
- Established leafy suburbs (Berwick, Narre Warren South) — often have heavier debris loads on first cleans if they haven't been maintained regularly, which can affect time and cost
- Newer estates (Clyde North, Officer) — generally straightforward jobs given limited tree coverage, but box gutter designs and flat roof sections on contemporary builds can add complexity
Getting a Quote
Price ranges are useful for budgeting, but the only accurate number is the one based on your specific property. A reputable operator will quote before starting work — not present a bill when the job is done.
