Meet Declan — the Gutter Guy himself
New Brighton local. Sole trader. I do the job myself, every time. No subcontractors, no sales crew — just me, a ladder, and a habit of leaving things tidier than I found them.
Since before the earthquakes
I've been cleaning windows since before the 2010/11 Canterbury earthquakes — gutters came later, as homeowners kept asking me to "just do the gutters while you're here." Now gutters are the main game, and I've built a reputation on three things people mention again and again: I turn up fast, I leave no mess, and I tell you straight what I find.

Why people call me back
The same themes come up in review after review — tidy, honest, fast, fair.
No hidden charges
A competitor left a customer with travel + GST on top. I don't. The price I quote is the price you pay — I said it on Facebook on 4 July 2026 and I mean it.
Honest condition reports
Five independent reviews mention I flagged roof or gutter issues that weren't my job to fix. If I see corrosion in a Taylor fascia or sitting water, you will hear about it — plainly.
Meticulous tidy-up
Eight reviews mention it. "Left perfectly clean and tidy." "Never leaves any mess behind." I bag the debris, flush the lines, and check the garden before I go.
Speed without cut corners
"Here within a couple of hours." "First working day after New Year's." Rapid doesn't mean rushed — I test every downpipe before I leave.
He critiques from the window now
"Too cold for my supervisor today so stayed inside and critiqued from there." — 8 July 2026. He hasn't retired; he's just working from home. Two white cats, one window, maximum judgement.
You'll see me and my ladder. You won't see him — unless it's cold.
