With a warming climate, vegetation like moss, lichen, algae, and fungi are thriving and growing more quickly. Combined with reduced pollution levels, this increased growth can clog gutters and downpipes more frequently.

Blocked or overflowing gutters and downpipes can lead to serious issues if not properly maintained. When gutters become clogged, they can no longer effectively channel rainwater away from your roof, which can result in costly damage to your property.

What will happen if my guttering is blocked and not working?

Many people may not realise the importance of the gutter and downpipe system around their home or the problems blockages can cause over time.

If rainwater isn’t properly diverted through downpipes, it will flow down your walls, soaking into the building. Over time, this can damage your foundation, flood your driveway or garden, and harm your brickwork, doors, windows, and cement.

To avoid these costly issues, it’s essential to keep your gutters clean. Regular removal of leaves, moss, and debris prevents blockages and saves money in the long run. Prevention is always cheaper than repairs.

An inspection is a good idea if you suspect a blockage, as problems can be hard to spot without checking.

Our team is fully equipped and trained to handle any gutter or downpipe issues, working safely at heights using ladders, scaffolding, and the latest vacuum systems and poles to clear debris without damaging your gutters. We can access areas that many other companies can’t reach.

Frequently asked questions

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Location of your home, such as If your home is situated near lots of trees and woodland, or open countryside areas that are windy. This can result in your guttering being blocked more rapidly.
The roof tiles that you have. Concrete tiles especially, as they are more likely to attract the growth of moss, lichen and algae, that become loose through wind and rainfall, and fall readily into your gutters.
Tree location gutters that are situated near your overhanging tree foliage tend to fill up with twigs, leaves and other plant life, a lot more quickly as opposed to properties that are not. So tree lined houses will definitely need our gutter cleaning service more often.

The Benefits of Good Gutters

If your home has gutters, it’s important to keep them clean. Clogged gutters can lead to a build-up of debris, which may damage your roof and cause rainwater to overflow, leading to stains on your walls and foundation.

Excess water can also lead to mould growth and discolouration. To avoid these issues, gutters should be cleaned regularly by a reliable service.

Gutters direct rainwater away from your home, but when blocked, they can overflow onto walls and fascia boards, causing costly moisture damage. Regular inspections and cleaning are essential for proper home maintenance.
