How often should gutters be cleaned?

We recommend having your gutters cleaned at least once a year — ideally in autumn after leaves have fallen, or in spring to clear winter debris. Properties surrounded by trees may need cleaning twice a year. Regular cleaning prevents blockages that cause overflows, damp and structural damage.

What are the signs that my gutters need cleaning or repairing?

Common signs include water overflowing from the gutters during rain, damp patches on interior walls, staining on exterior brickwork, sagging or detached guttering, plants growing from gutters, and visible debris or moss build-up. If you notice any of these, it's time to call us.

Do you clean downpipes as well as gutters?

Yes, our gutter cleaning service includes full inspection and clearance of downpipes. Blocked downpipes are a common cause of gutter overflow and we use specialist equipment to clear even severe blockages. We can also replace downpipes that have cracked or become detached.

Can you repair leaking gutter joints?

Absolutely. Leaking joints are one of the most common gutter problems and are caused by failed sealant or displaced sections. Our engineers re-seal joints using high-quality waterproof gutter sealant and refit any displaced sections. For severely corroded or cracked sections, we replace the affected length entirely.

What types of guttering do you work with?

We work with all guttering types including UPVC (the most common), cast iron, aluminium, and steel. Whether you have a modern property with plastic gutters or a period home with original cast iron, our engineers have the knowledge and materials to clean, repair, or replace your system.

Can you fit gutter guards to stop leaves blocking my gutters?

Yes, we supply and fit a range of gutter guards and leaf filters designed to keep debris out while allowing rainwater to flow freely. Gutter guards are particularly beneficial for properties near trees and can significantly reduce the frequency of cleaning required. We'll recommend the best type for your guttering and tree situation.

Do you clean fascias and soffits as well?

Yes, our roofline cleaning service covers fascias, soffits, and bargeboards. Over time these accumulate dirt, algae, and mould. We clean them thoroughly using appropriate solutions, restoring their appearance and preventing deterioration. This is often carried out alongside gutter cleaning as part of a full roofline maintenance visit.

Is it safe for engineers to access high gutters?

Safety is our top priority. Our engineers are trained in working at height and use appropriate equipment including extending ladders, stand-off brackets, and high-reach gutter cleaning poles. For very high or complex properties we can arrange scaffold towers. All engineers carry full liability insurance and adhere to health and safety guidelines.

How long does gutter cleaning take?

A standard semi-detached or terraced house typically takes 1–2 hours. Detached houses with longer runs of guttering generally take 2–3 hours. Properties with significant blockages, multiple storeys, or complex rooflines may take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we provide your free quote.

Do you provide a report after the work?

Yes, after every gutter cleaning and repair visit we provide a written inspection report detailing the work completed, any issues found, and recommendations for future maintenance. This gives you a clear record of the condition of your guttering and any sections that may need attention in the future.

What is the best time of year to have gutters cleaned?

The most effective time is late autumn — after the majority of leaves have fallen but before the worst winter rainfall. This clears the debris most likely to cause winter blockages. Spring is also valuable, clearing moss, seed pods, and granules washed off roof tiles over winter. Properties surrounded by many trees may benefit from both, and we offer annual and biannual maintenance plans for exactly this situation.

Can blocked gutters cause damp inside the house?

Yes — this is one of the most common causes of damp in UK properties. Overflowing gutters direct water down exterior walls rather than into the drains. Sustained wall saturation causes penetrating damp inside rooms, particularly in solid-wall construction where there is no cavity to provide a barrier. Keeping gutters clear and functional is one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent expensive damp remediation work.

Can you repair fascias and soffits as well as gutters?

Yes — fascia boards (the horizontal boards gutters are fixed to) and soffits (the underside of the roof overhang) are part of our roofline service. We replace rotted or damaged sections, repaint or re-cover timber fascias, and install UPVC fascia and soffit cladding where a low-maintenance alternative to painted timber is preferred. Gutter replacement is often carried out simultaneously as the new gutters are fixed to the new fascia boards.

Do you offer gutter inspection using a camera or endoscope?

Yes — for downpipes and sections of guttering where blockages are suspected but not visible, we use inspection cameras to locate the obstruction without dismantling sections unnecessarily. Camera inspection is particularly useful for underground drainage connections and cast iron guttering where joints are difficult to access. We show customers the footage where relevant so you can see exactly what we found.

What is the difference between UPVC and cast iron guttering?

UPVC is lightweight, maintenance-free, resistant to corrosion, and inexpensive — the standard choice for modern and post-war properties. Cast iron is heavier, requires periodic repainting to prevent rust, and is considerably more durable when properly maintained. Many period and listed properties retain original cast iron guttering and it must be maintained in kind where planning conservation applies. We work with both materials and can advise on repair versus replacement for either.

Can you install completely new guttering if mine is beyond repair?

Yes — full guttering replacement is a substantial part of our roofline work. We remove old guttering, replace or repair the fascia boards if damaged, and install new UPVC or cast iron guttering in the correct size and profile for your roof. We calculate the correct gutter cross-section for your roof area to ensure rainwater is handled even in heavy downpours without overflow. All new installations are guaranteed.

How do I know if guttering needs repair or full replacement?

Isolated joint leaks, minor cracks, and single loose sections are worth repairing if the rest of the run is in good condition. Widespread cracking, significant sagging across multiple sections, severely corroded cast iron, or gutters that have repeatedly come loose from the fascia indicate the system is at the end of its useful life and replacement is more economical than repeated patching. Our inspection report gives you an honest assessment of each section's condition.

Do you clean conservatory gutters and roof valleys?

Yes — conservatory roof gutters and valley channels are particularly prone to blockage due to their low pitch and the leaf debris that collects in valley corners. Blocked conservatory valleys can allow water to back up under roof glazing. We clean conservatory gutters, check all glazing seals for water tracking, and clear valley channels as part of our gutter cleaning service for properties with conservatories.

What are the most common causes of gutter joint leaks?

The most common cause is failed or degraded sealant at the overlap joint between gutter sections — sealant that was either applied incorrectly at installation or has simply reached the end of its service life after years of UV exposure and temperature cycling. The second most common cause is a union bracket or joint clip that has worked loose, causing the sections to separate slightly. Both are straightforward repairs that we carry out with the correct gutter sealant and replacement fixings.

Can overflowing gutters damage my foundation or driveway?

Yes. When gutters overflow persistently at the same location, the concentrated water discharge can saturate the ground directly against the foundation — contributing to subsidence in clay soils and penetrating damp in older properties with solid foundations. On driveways and paths, concentrated overflow erodes pointing, creates persistent wet patches that accelerate freeze-thaw surface damage in winter, and can undermine block paving over time. Ensuring gutters discharge correctly to drains is important for the long-term condition of the property.
