Do you need a permit for gutter cleaning in Hamilton?

What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Hamilton for most standard scopes.
