London Gutter Cleaning Services
Leaves, dirt, and debris can quickly block your gutters and downpipes. When rainwater can’t drain properly, it overflows and puts pressure on gutter joints, which leads to leaks, wall damage, and rot around windows and doors. For these reasons, regular gutter maintenance is essential.
Every full gutter clean at Sam’s Gutters includes a free visual roof inspection. We’ll check for any signs of damage and share before-and-after photos so you can see the results as well as any potential risks.
What Causes Blocked Gutters?
If you have trees around your home, your gutters are more likely to get blocked. In autumn, falling leaves and heavy rain often lead to clogged gutters. However, leaves, twigs, moss, and dust build up throughout the year, not just in autumn. The moisture creates the perfect environment for moss to grow in your gutters and on your roof, causing blockages.
If over half your roof is covered in moss, you may need to clean your gutters every three months, while homes near large trees like oaks may only need clearing every six months. For the majority of homes, we recommend gutter cleaning in both spring and autumn to avoid water damage and damp issues.
Benefits of Regular Gutter Cleaning
- Prevents blockages caused by leaves, moss, and debris
- Reduces the risk of damp, mould, and roof damage
- Stops moss from spreading on gutters and roof tiles
- Prevents pest infestations by eliminating the leaves and stagnant water that attract rodents, birds, and insects
Protect Your Home from Damp and Water Damage
As moss dies off, it falls into the gutters and downpipes, quickly causing blockages. Blocked gutters don’t just overflow; they can also force water under the roofline, past the soffits and fascia, and even penetrate into your home’s interior.
Cleaning alone won’t fix the issue; you need to stop the water at the source by keeping your gutters clear year-round. Sam’s Gutters provides professional gutter cleaning in London, effectively protecting your property from long-term damp and water damage.
What Equipment We Use When Cleaning Gutters
Clean gutters are essential for protecting your home, which is why we do the majority of our gutter cleaning by hand, using ladders and hand tools to remove leaves, moss, and debris thoroughly and safely. For gutters that are hard to reach, we also use a SkyVac system, a powerful vacuum tool designed for safe, effective cleaning from the ground.
Keeping your gutters clear should be considered as vital routine maintenance, just like servicing your car.
