MUDSUCKERS

The recurring gutter thing

Become a FISHDUCK

FISHDUCKS get booked in before the valleys fill up, the downpipes start sulking, and the gutters begin growing their own little ecosystem.

Automatic six-monthly bookings. Generated from our end. Not a reminder. Not a “we’ll text you and hope you remember” thing.

One-off gets the gutters cleaned. FISHDUCK keeps the record.

So, what is a FISHDUCK?

FISHDUCK is automatic six-monthly gutter bookings. Not a reminder. Not a vague plan. We generate the next booking from our end, come back every six months, clean the gutters, and keep a detailed record of the spots that like to start trouble.

One-off vs FISHDUCK

One-off gets the gutters cleaned. FISHDUCK adds the automatic bookings, under-solar debris cleared, checklist, and record.

One-off gutter clean

Cleaned. Sorted. Done.

  • Gutters cleaned
  • Before and after photos
  • Serious damage or immediate risk flagged if noticed
  • Book again when needed

One-off customers don't receive general notes or the detailed record as standard.

The Detailed Roof & Gutter Maintenance Record

What FISHDUCKS keep an eye on.

FISHDUCK cleans include a Detailed Roof & Gutter Maintenance Record. Not a formal roof inspection. A simple record of what was cleaned, what was visible, and the trouble spots we keep watching over time.

We keep an eye on the visible, safely accessible trouble spots while we're already up there. Not everything is visible every time — but FISHDUCKS get the kind of repeated look that one-off cleans do not.

Roof valleys holding debris
Rust starting or worsening in gutters
Downpipes blocked or slow
Debris sitting on roof surface or paint
Cracked or broken tiles visible
Rotting fascia boards visible
Water tank debris risk
Tank filters likely to clog
Overflow causing mould or moss below
Water dumping near the house
Tree overhang refilling gutters
Damaged or lifted gutter guard
Vines entering gutters or roof
Dirty or debris-affected solar areas
Under-solar debris, where accessible

Boring little things, until they're not.

Valleys, downpipes, rust spots, tank filters, tree overhang, cracked tiles, vines, dirty solar edges. None of it looks urgent — that's exactly the problem.

  • Valleys are one of the biggest leak hotspots if debris sits too long
  • Rotting debris speeds up gutter rust
  • Debris on roof surfaces can damage paint and coatings
  • Cracked tiles let water where it shouldn’t go
  • Rotting fascia gets expensive if ignored
  • Tank water and filters suffer when gutters feed tanks
  • Overflow creates mould and moss on the concrete below
  • Overhanging trees refill clean gutters fast

Watch area

This is a visual roof and gutter maintenance record only. It is based on visible areas safely accessed during the gutter clean. It is not a structural building inspection, insurance assessment, plumbing report, roofing certification, or guarantee that no defects exist.

Under-solar debris, cleared.

Under-solar debris cleared free for FISHDUCKS, up to 25 panels, where safely accessible.

That's clearing the debris that builds up under and around the panels — not a full solar panel clean. If the panels themselves need washing, that's a separate solar clean.

Before you request the FISHDUCK price

The FISHDUCK price is an automatic-booking price.

Your first clean is charged at the FISHDUCK rate because it's booked as part of automatic six-monthly bookings. If the second clean does not go ahead, the first clean reverts to the standard one-off price and the difference becomes payable.

No drama. Just no recurring price without the recurring clean.
