Top work couldn't recommend enough! Had a paint spill across my driveway that had dried out now there's not a speck of paint left. Thank you for your quality work.
Local, owner-run exterior cleaning you can rely on
Glorious Gutters & Exterior Cleaning is owned and operated by Samuel Johnston, a local tradesperson with a background in mechanical engineering and construction. The business was founded on a simple mission: to bring honesty, punctuality and craft back into trade services, so that protecting your home never means missed appointments or messy job sites.
It started almost by accident. Samuel was asked to remove a small bush growing out of an elderly neighbour's gutter, and word spread quickly through the local community. Gutter work led to pressure washing, and pressure washing led to roof cleaning, until it grew into the full exterior cleaning business it is today.
Having lived in Mill End and Rickmansworth, and in Denham village before that, Samuel has a genuine connection to the area and treats every property with the same care and respect as his own. You deal directly with the owner, not a call centre or a subcontractor.
As a locally and personally owned business, our commitments are simple: punctual and reliable service, a spotless clean-up before we leave, and exceptional workmanship that keeps your home safe, dry and protected all year round.
We cover Rickmansworth, Watford and the surrounding towns, including Chorleywood, Croxley Green, Northwood, Pinner, Harrow, Amersham, Gerrards Cross, Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted. If you are not sure whether you are in our area, just call 07875 447187 and we will let you know.
Yes. Glorious Gutters is fully insured for all the work we carry out, so your property is protected while we are on site. We are also City and Guilds trained in the use of biocides and hold a Powered Access licence for working safely at height.
Yes, we offer 24-hour emergency call-outs for urgent issues such as a badly overflowing or blocked gutter during heavy rain. Call 07875 447187 and we will get to you as quickly as we can.
Send us a few details and some photos through the enquiry form on this site, or call or WhatsApp 07875 447187. Most jobs can be priced from photos and a description, and quotes are always free.
The business is personally owned and run by Samuel Johnston, who attends the work himself. You deal directly with the owner, not an outsourced crew, so you get honest advice and direct accountability on every job.
Glorious Gutters began in 2020 and grew into a full exterior cleaning business in 2023. We are a local, in-house operation based in the Rickmansworth and Mill End area.
Any minor repairs that do not require new parts can be completed during the clearing process. If something does need a part, we will point it out and give you a price rather than leaving it unfinished.
Yes. Gutter clearing includes a full inspection and clearing of the downpipes where applicable, so a blockage lower down the system does not get missed.
Gutter clearing starts from around £80 for a smaller property and rises with the size and height of the home, typically up to about £250. You will always get a clear price before we begin.
No. All the moss, leaves and silt we remove are bagged and taken away. We are careful to leave your driveway, paths and flowerbeds clean.
For most homes once a year is enough, but properties with a lot of overhanging trees may benefit from a clear twice a year, usually in autumn and spring.
Yes. We clear the gutters as part of the same visit while we clean the external face of the fascia, soffit and guttering, so you get a clean finish and free-flowing drainage together.
In almost all cases, yes. We remove the algae and road grime that dull white uPVC and bring the finish back to its original bright white. The difference is usually immediate.
Yes. We use gentle, controlled methods rather than aggressive scrubbing, so your fascias and soffits are cleaned safely without damaging the finish.
It typically ranges from around £150 to £400 depending on the size of the property and the length of the roofline. We will give you a fixed price before we start.
We offer several methods depending on the roof: manual moss removal, approved biocide treatment, low pressure washing and soft washing. We choose the safest effective approach for your tiles.
Soft washing is a gentle, low pressure alternative to traditional pressure washing. It uses specialised, eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely dissolve moss, algae, lichen and dirt without blasting the roof, so the tiles are protected.
We strongly advise against harsh, high pressure jet washing. Instead we use a specialised low pressure rotary pole system that glides across the surface, so there is no direct blasting that could strip or crack the tiles or force water underneath them.
This combination is the gold standard for roof longevity. Manual scraping lifts away thick moss straight away without aggressive water pressure, and the biocide treatment then kills the remaining spores at the root, giving a cleaner, longer lasting result.
Roof cleaning ranges from around £500 to £3,000 depending on the size, pitch and access of the roof and the method needed. We survey first and give you an honest, fixed quote.
Yes. All quotes for block paving are inclusive of fresh kiln-dried sand and full re-sanding once the surface is clean, which locks the blocks back in place and helps keep weeds down.
Pressure washing does not include repointing as standard, but we can price to repoint the patio at the same time so it is all completed in one visit.
We clean driveways, patios, paths and decking across block paving, natural stone, concrete and slabs. We match the pressure and technique to the surface so it is cleaned thoroughly without damage.
Pressure washing typically ranges from around £150 to £600 depending on the size and condition of the area. You will get a clear, fixed quote before we start.
Chemical use is our last option for solar cleaning. Only under certain circumstances do we clean panels with chemicals, and when we do we use approved products from the manufacturers to protect the panels and their warranty.
Dust, pollen and bird mess build up on the glass and quietly reduce how much power your system generates. A regular clean restores the lost efficiency and helps your panels earn their keep.
We clean panels with pure water and soft brushing, which lifts the dirt without scratching the glass or leaving streaks. It is a gentle process designed to protect the panels.
We price per panel, at roughly £5 to £10 each, so you know exactly where you stand before we begin.
