A gutter cleaning system comprises a rain gutter 1 to be attached to a building and shaped to hold and guide a slidable gutter liner. It further comprises a flexible gutter liner 4 shaped to fit slidably within the rain gutter. The system further comprises a downpipe 8 positioned to receive the slidable gutter liner in it moving from the gutter into the downpipe. To control the movement of the gutter liner there is a drive mechanism which physically moves the gutter liner and a controller which activates and controls the drive mechanism. Upon activation of the drive mechanism by the controller, the gutter liner is moved from a position in the gutter to a position in the downpipe so that any material or debris 13 on the liner is deposited into the downpipe. Preferably, the liner is resilient to damage and the drive mechanism is a flexible linkage and can be formed as a conveyor belt 7. The drive mechanism can be attached to the liner at or near both ends. Part of the drive mechanism can be contained within a conduit.
