Guttering – Cleaning and Repair

The guttering system attached your home or commercial premises is essential for the protection of the fabric of the building. While they usually will function well without attention for a period of time, it is recommended (and sometimes required, by landlords or insurance companies) that gutters should be cleaned and inspected periodically, and repairs and maintenance should be carried out.

The most simple guttering systems consist of little more than the gutter itself which runs under the edge of the roof of the building, and a downspout which funnels the water collected by the gutter to ground level. If either of these components become blocked or damaged, the runoff from the roof will not be effectively removed. Water will then find another way down – this may be down the wall of the property, weakening it and causing discolouration; or worse, it may work its way through the brickwork, leading to damp and structural damage. It really is essential that gutter repairs are made quickly when a problem is detected.

The most common problem with guttering systems is when they become blocked. This is usually as a result of moss, leaves, or other bio matter falling from the roof and building up in the channel. A Gutter Cleaning Service can quickly and effectively resolve any blockages in your guttering. In fact, many householders bring in gutter cleaning companies on a regular basis, to stop problems from building up in the first place.
