Is rainwater spilling over the gutter edge instead of flowing down the downspout? Leaves, needles and debris can obstruct drainage. NordVerk helps homeowners with gutter cleaning and downspout checks in Lund, Lomma, Bjärred and our other southwest Skåne service areas.

Four signs to look for from the ground

  1. Water overflowing during rain. A blockage, incorrect slope or insufficient capacity may be involved.
  2. Leaves or plants visible in the gutter. Arrange clearing and a flow check.
  3. Drips at joints or water running down the facade. There may also be a leak or damaged connection.
  4. A downspout that does not appear to drain. Ask for the drainage route to be checked, rather than just the gutter surface.

Cleaning does not repair broken gutters or correct their slope. Any repairs should be agreed separately.

When should you book?

If water already overflows, there is no reason to wait for every leaf to fall. A home surrounded by trees may need a check during leaf fall and another later. Other properties need a different interval. Let the condition of the gutters guide the timing.

You can describe what you see during rain from a safe position on the ground. There is no need to climb a ladder to photograph the problem for us.

What does the service involve?

Our gutter-cleaning service covers debris removal and agreed checks of accessible gutters, downspouts and water flow. We confirm the scope and access arrangements before starting.

Tell us about the number of storeys, conservatories below the roof edge, narrow side passages and other obstacles. Repairs and additional work require a separate agreement.

Price and deductions

Gutter length, building height, access and blockages affect the quote. Send overview photos and the number of storeys. You do not need to measure the roof yourself.

Gutter cleaning falls under ROT, not RUT. In 2026, eligible labour may qualify for up to 30 percent ROT, subject to eligibility. Materials, travel and equipment are excluded. Read the Swedish Tax Agency's work list and ROT conditions.

You can request leaf removal and autumn cleanup in the same email. The services and their deductions are assessed separately.

Frequently asked questions

Short, honest answers to what we get asked every week. If yours is not here, just call, we are happy to help.

  1. 01Should I wait until all the leaves have fallen?
    If water already overflows or a downspout appears blocked, do not wait for the last leaves. The right interval depends on nearby trees, the roof and drainage performance.
  2. 02What do you need for a quote?
    Email info@nordverkab.se with your location, number of storeys, affected sides of the house and photos taken from ground level. Mention conservatories, narrow passages or other access restrictions.
  3. 03Is gutter cleaning covered by RUT or ROT?
    Gutter cleaning falls under ROT, not RUT. In 2026, eligible ROT labour can receive up to a 30 percent deduction, subject to the conditions for you and the property.
  4. 04Can I request leaf removal as well?
    Yes. Describe both jobs in the same email. Their scope and tax treatment are assessed separately: eligible leaf raking may qualify for RUT, while gutter cleaning falls under ROT.
