The problem

Why gutters block

Moss from the roof washes into gutters and builds up with leaves and grit until water can't get past it. Downpipes catch the rest. Then, in heavy rain, water pours over the edge, runs down the wall and soaks into brickwork and foundations.

Houses near trees, or with mossy roofs, can block up surprisingly quickly. The weight of wet debris can also pull gutters out of line, causing leaks at the joints.

Signs to look out for

  1. 01Water cascading over the gutter in rain
  2. 02Plants or grass growing out of the gutter
  3. 03Downpipes that don't run when it's raining
  4. 04Damp patches or green staining on walls
  5. 05Gutters sagging under the weight of debris
  6. 06Birds nesting in or around the gutters

How we fix it

Cleared, flushed and checked

We remove the build-up by hand from every run, bag it and take it away, then flush the gutters and downpipes to make sure water flows freely to the drains.

Because we're roofers, we also keep an eye out for problems while we're up there — failed joints, broken brackets, slipped tiles near the eaves — and send you photos. If anything needs fixing, we'll tell you and quote for it; nothing is done without your say-so.

You'll get before and after photos, which is especially handy if you can't see your gutters from the ground.

Good to know

Prevention beats repair

A gutter clean is one of the simplest ways to protect your home. When gutters work, rain is carried safely away from the walls and foundations. When they block, that water ends up running down your brickwork, soaking into walls and pooling at the base of the house.

Autumn is the busiest time for gutter cleaning, after the leaves have fallen and before winter rain sets in. But moss from roofs washes down all year, so gutters can block in any season — especially on houses with older, mossy roofs.

Because we're a roofing company, a gutter clean also gives you a free look at the edge of your roof. We'll mention anything we notice, such as slipped tiles, loose verges or damaged fascias, and send photos so you can see for yourself.

If moss on the roof itself is the cause of repeated blockages, we'll talk to you about the options. Sometimes the best long-term fix is dealing with the roof, not just the gutters.

We clean gutters on bungalows, houses, extensions and garages, and on larger buildings too. Where a gutter is very high or awkward to reach, we'll tell you how we plan to get to it safely before we start. Nothing is done without your agreement,. It's a small job, but done regularly it saves a lot of bigger ones later on.

FAQs

Gutter cleaning: your questions

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Most homes benefit from a clean once a year. Houses near trees or with mossy roofs may need it more often.

Do you clean downpipes too?

Yes. We check and flush downpipes as part of the clean.

Will I get photos?

Yes. We send before and after photos so you can see the results.

Can you fix leaks while you're there?

If we find a problem, we'll photograph it and let you know. Small fixes can often be done on the same visit with your agreement.

Do you clean roofs as well?

Ask us about it. We'll look at your roof and advise whether cleaning is worthwhile.

Do I need to be home?

Not necessarily, as long as we can safely reach the gutters. We'll send the photos afterwards.

Can you clean high or awkward gutters?

Yes. We'll look at the access first and tell you how we plan to reach them safely, whether that's ladders or other equipment.

Do you clean gutters on commercial buildings?

Yes. We clean gutters on shops, units and farm buildings as well as homes, and send photos so you don't need to be on site.
