Gutter Cleaning

The importance of having your gutters maintained is extremely underestimated. Gutters are the first line of defence against external problems and if left unmaintained, can cause costly damages to your property.

Over time gutters can become full due to a number of circumstances.

These include:

• Leaves and twigs from nearby trees which can eventually decompose.
• Birds dropping seeds which can cause plants to grow.
• Chunks of broken tiles and cement falling from the roof.

These circumstances can cause a number of issues to your gutters and property. Leaks can occur when gutters become full and joints become stretched due to excess weight. These leaks cascading over the sides can also cause damage to the façade of the building resulting in unsightly stains. The biggest issue however, is the water can eventually work its way inside the façade causing damp and mould growth inside the walls which can often go undetected. These problems can eventually cost you thousands of pounds, and some insurance companies will not cover if your gutters were left unmaintained.
