Clearing the gutters of moss, leafs and debris makes them more functional and reduces the risk of blocked drains. If your gutters are overflowing this can cause water damage to both your walls and footings with both damp and subsidence.
There is no size fits all with frequency, every property is different but those surrounded by trees with falling leaves and twigs, shaded areas where moss can grow may require it twice a year (spring and autumn). However some properties that are less exposed to these elements will more likely to be fine having it done less frequently (1-3 years).
With the use of a gopro camera attached to the end of the pole fed vacuum, we have eyes inside the gutter as we clean so we can see the gutters are clear as we go along, as well as taking plenty of photos which are provided afterwards. We find this useful for customers both as reassurance that the job has been done, but also to help making any decisions with regards to frequency of maintenance.
With the use of a specialist lightweight carbon pole vacuum it allows us to reach up to 3 stories in height and over obstacles such as conservatories and extensions that otherwise wouldn't be possible to access by ladder, or walking onto roofs which can lead to broken roof tiles and other issues.
We have various end tools but notably we have a long end piece that allows us to reach into the downpipe usually clearing any blockages upto the first bend.
We can also offer small repairs on guttering where possible, such as replacing leaking joints etc, should you know of any issues prior we can often bring parts with us often reducing the cost and time resolving the issue. Please view our Small Gutter Repairs page.
Often we can provide quotes online with the use of google earth and its measuring tool. We have found this tool to be reasonably accurate and by reducing the need for site visits on every quote allows us to send quotes quickly and more competitive, however where this isn't possible we will come out to visit and survey.
Once you've received a quote if you wanted to proceed we would arrange a date to suit and generally the only thing we require from the customer is the use of a socket and access around the property.
We do also offer Roof Moss Removal & Biocide Treatment should you be having a severe problem with moss on your roof subsequently filling your gutters then we can tackle the problem and keep it at bay for longer by removing and preventing future growth with a biocide. Any directly affected gutters are cleared after scraping and prior to treatment with roof moss removal.
