⚠️ Homeowner Warning: Why You Should Never Hire Ladder Handymen From Checkatrade, Bark, or MyBuilder for Gutters
Searching for a gutter cleaner on lead-generation apps like Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Bark, or MyJobQuote exposes your home to significant risks. Here is why hiring unvetted directory handymen for roofline work is dangerous:
1. Uninsured "Cowboy" Handymen & Ladder Accidents
Many directory handymen lean flimsy ladders against fragile plastic gutters or conservatory roofs without proper safety footings. If an uninsured worker falls or damages your roof tiles, **you** can be held liable or left with smashed roofline fittings and zero recourse.
2. Surface-Only Clears That Leave Downpipes Blocked
Cheap handymen scoop out the top layer of leaves by hand, take your cash, and leave the vertical downpipes and underground gullies completely blocked. The first heavy rain causes your gutters to overflow all over again.
3. Inflated Lead Fees Added to Your Bill
Directory apps charge tradespeople heavy fees just to respond to your enquiry. Those marketing costs are quietly padded onto your gutter cleaning invoice.
