Gutter cleaning

Gutters. They’re not very glamorous but they need your attention. In fact, clearing gutters is the single most important task that will keep your property in good condition.

Gutter cleaning saves money and grief

Gutters and downpipes are part of your weatherproofing system. During a typical Bristol rainstorm they ensure that the thousands of gallons of water that flow from your roof arrive safely in the drains, leaving the building secure and dry.

To perform this function properly, they must be clean. When gutters fill up with debris and leaves, all that water has no means of escape and ends up seeping behind the fascia and splashing down the walls. If nothing is done to put things right, you could soon have rotting weatherboards, a leaking roof, penetrating damp and a host of other problems. Repairing water damage can cost thousands of pounds.

Prevention is better than cure

That’s why routine gutter cleaning is so critical. We recommend calling us in at least once a year. If there are trees near your roof, clearing gutters more frequently is advisable.
