Gutter Cleaning, Repair and Clearing Services
Gutter cleaning is one of our most popular services we offer due to its importance. Letting your gutters fill up with leaves and debris causes water to have a slow flow or even worse, puddle and become stagnant.
If rain water overflows and runs down the side of the building it can cause damp. And water damage on your property can leave you with a big bill.
If that’s not bad enough, damp and mould can give the occupants health problems including respiratory infection, allergies, asthma and even affect your immune system.
As well as offering one off gutter clearing, we also create clients maintenance schedules. These take into consideration where your building is located, what’s in the immediate environment around the building and what the local wildlife is.
Sometimes the blockage may not even be in your gutter but in your down pipe, so we check they have no blockages as standard using our specialist cameras.
If you’re thinking of selling a property, full gutters can show up on surveys, so best avoid additional problems at an already stressful time and get them cleared before hand.

Gutter clearing
Fallen leaves, algae and moss and likely culprits for blocking your gutter, but animals can also cause issues. Commonly in the UK it’s birds nests that are the problem, especially with less trees available for nesting.
As they are undisturbed up high, nesting in the eaves is common and they can fall into the gutter. Many bird species are protected, so it’s good to get an expert to help and guide you through this.
What happens if you don’t clear your gutters?
Gutters are designed to channel water away from your home’s foundation and out of sight. However, if they get clogged with debris or are just not properly maintained, gutter cleaning services will begin to overflow. This can lead to a number of problems for your house’s exterior, including:
Mould growth
Excess water in the gutters can lead to mould growing on your home’s siding and paint, especially if you have more than one story.
Cracked foundation
Overflowing water can begin to seep into your home’s foundation and cause cracks. This can be an expensive repair, so it’s best to take care of your gutters as soon as possible.
Water damage
Watering down the exterior of your house can lead to water damage on the inside of your home. A leaky roof, for instance, will eventually cause the drywall in a room to become moist and mouldy. This can even lead to the growth of mould inside your walls, which is a dangerous issue to have in your home.

Rain Gutters Leaking
New rain gutters should never leak, but sometimes if they’ve been installed for a while, they can start to crack or may need to be tightened up. A professional gutter cleaning service will check the condition of your rain gutters and repair them if necessary.
Overflowing
Sometimes, despite the best efforts of your gutters, water still manages to overflow over the top. Professional gutter cleaners will be able to identify where the clog is in your rain gutters and clear it out for you.
Sagging
Installed on your roof, rain gutters are supported by sturdy brackets that help keep them properly attached. If those brackets become loose or rusty and don’t hold up your gutters, they could sag from their position on the roof and create a hazard for people walking below.
Clean Finish Window Cleaning
Clean Finish Window Cleaners deliver expert services using pure water systems to leave your windows, sills and doors ultra clean every time.

Why do gutters need clearing?
Blocked gutters can cause rainwater to overflow and run down the walls of your property.
Gutter clearing is an important part of maintaining your home. Failing to appropriately clean gutters can lead to issues in storms such as water sensitivity, mould growth, and excess debris.
Of course, you might be able to take care of it yourself. But for those high jobs like clearing out clogs from second story rain gutters, then we recommend hiring a professional for the job.
Calling a professional to clear out your gutters may seem like a frivolous expense, but it’s actually essential to protect the walls of your home.
Clearing gutters regularly keeps them working properly, ensuring that water flows freely down any walls or foundation to help prevent any mould or mildew growth. A clog somewhere along the line can lead to serious issues with your home’s exterior and should be dealt with promptly.
That doesn’t mean you have to climb up on your roof and clean out the gutters yourself, though. Our gutter clearing professionals can do the hard work for you, making sure your home stays clean and safe.
