Gutter cleaning

---

Yes it actually is. A properly cleaned and maintained gutter is essential in preventing damage to structures  and sometimes the interior of a building.

It may not be at the forefront of a property owners mind until long term damage appears. Clogged and blocked gutters can lead to expensive repairs , so regular maintenance is essential.

Once gutters become clogged the rainwater cannot flow freely. When they remain blocked they will over flow and the resulting water damage can present a whole variety of issues.

Long term damage to your property including foundations , walls , fascia boards , windows and ceilings is very common. Internally these damages can result in the growth of mould and dampness within the home.

Throughout the year , guttering suffers from a buildup of various types of natural vegetation , including leaves , pine needles , moss and grass. Leaves blown through the air by the wind often fall onto roof tops , where they can settle and collect inside of gutters and down pipes thus building up and causing a blockage.

Moss really is a particular problem for causing a blockage . Properties in the shade of trees or those that are north facing naturally have less light and is the ideal conditions for moss, as it flourishes in damp shaded conditions on rooftops and this can fall down into the gutters.

Damp vegetation within the gutter  provides an ideal breeding ground for moss and weeds.

They will grow aggressively and will block the flow of water causing it over flow.  

When you can see visual signs of water or a overflowing leaking gutter , as this is a sign there is a blockage somewhere.

We suggest a regular maintenance clean between the autumn and spring time  once or twice a year, especially if your property is surrounded by over hanging trees or the roof is prone two moss.
