Oh, there is a whole world of gutter cleaners out there! Eg.

They have something called 'guttervac' see the photo...
- not to make light of your problem though it is very annoying.
Good luck.0 -
crazyguy,
cherry picker a no no wont go down the side path not even on next doors drive,have tried that for painting purposes0 -
Thanks Jaynne & colliecollie.
My husband scarily hung out the top window with my camera video attached to a long stick & we have video evidence of all the old mortar from the ridge tiles piled high at the bottom of the valley....very spooky watching it back like those drain repair videos.The rest of the gutters are spotless. Been in touch with our roofer & he is going to come as soon as possible hopefully before the next downfall.
Thanks all, especially crazyguy the follicle tester.

To be fair though if your gutters haven't been cleaned out for 15 years (you don't say if they have or not) they may need cleaning out of leaves, moss, sand etc regardless of what the roofer has dumped in them! I've even found large chicken bones in my gutters presumably dropped by seagulls. No disrespect meant but alot don't realise gutters require continual maintenance.
I'd guess that what you thought were 'chicken bones' were really pigeon bones, round our way the local crows ambush pigeons and dismember them up on the ridge of the roof, leaving the 'bits' to roll down the roof to the gutters and yes, it's yukky.C.R.A.P.R.O.L.L.Z # 40 spanner supervisor.No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten."l! ilyë yantë ranya nar vanwë"0
