Or try it on the web →This gutter cleaning quote template is for roofers pricing residential jobs, from single-storey homes to townhouses. Most tradies get tripped up on two things: underestimating the time it takes to work safely on a two-storey roof and completely forgetting to charge for waste disposal. This template makes sure you account for both. Get your labour rates and disposal fees right, and you'll make a profit on every job. It’s built for Aussie roofers who want to send a professional quote in minutes without missing key costs.
How to Price Gutter Cleaning Per Metre
Most experienced roofers charge by the linear metre. For a single-storey house with easy ladder access, $7 to $12 per metre is a common range in major cities. For a two-storey or steep-pitched roof, that can easily jump to $15 to $25 per metre because of the extra safety setup and time. Always have a minimum call-out fee, around $220-$300, to make small jobs worthwhile. This rate should cover your labour, gear, and consumables like heavy-duty refuse bags. A 10-pack of Saxon 100L bags from Bunnings costs about $10, so your per-metre rate must absorb these costs.
Forgetting Access and Disposal Costs Will Kill Your Profit
The biggest mistake is not quoting for difficult access and waste disposal. If the roof pitch is over 25 degrees or it's a two-storey building, you may need temporary edge protection or a full harness system to comply with Safe Work Australia guidelines. This hire cost must be on the quote. The other forgotten cost is the local tip fee. A ute-load of wet leaves and sludge is heavy, and your council tip will charge for it. This can be anywhere from $80 to $150. A quoting tool like QuoteMate lets you save these as standard line items so you never forget to include them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, always. Removing and refitting gutter guards can double the labour time. Add a separate line item for it. A good rule of thumb is to add 30-50% to your per-metre labour rate for any lengths covered by guards. Make sure the customer understands this charge before you start, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.
It should be an optional line item. A basic water flush to check for flow is often included, but clearing a serious blockage is a different task. Specify on your quote that a basic flush is covered, but significant blockages will be quoted separately. This manages expectations and follows the stormwater maintenance principles outlined in AS/NZS 3500.3.
Your quote's scope should state it only covers the clean. Note that you will report any damage found, and repairs can be quoted as a separate job. This protects you from doing unpaid work and positions you as a helpful expert. Always take photos of any damage to show the client when you present the quote for the extra repair work.
