Our gutters look like beautiful hanging baskets at the moment, with flowers and plants growing in every available space. :)
So I thought we'd better get something done about it. Just phoned a company and they are booked till Jan.
Can anyone recommend someone in the Auckland area?
Cheers

Is your villa double height? If not get a ladder and do it yourself.
I did mine no problems - but did have a friend on the ground with 111 on speed dial in case I fell off the roof! (And to empty the bucket of muck every ten minutes as I filled it.)

Its not double height but it does have a fancy roof which means there are higher up gutters which you would need to get up on the roof to do.
We've done the lower ones ourselves previously but think we need to have a more thorough job done this time. Plus we want the gutters checked for leaks.
Might give these guys a ring:

Why don't you wait until you get the tramp? It would make roof access easier........and more fun :nice1

I'm not sure how getting a vagabond would help, wouldn't he object to us standing on his shoulders to clear out the gutters?

You could try these people. They not only clean the gutters but can provide something to stop it happening again if you want.

Not sure if they have many gutter cleaners, but this is a great website for looking for good tradespeople: http://www.nocowboys.co.nz
People can place feedback on trades/services they have used in the past - gives you a bit more confidence that you're not dealing with somebody dodgy! I used them to find a mechanic the other day and they were great :yes
