Gutter Cleaning & Replacement: When to Act

Gutters are easy to ignore until water is pouring down the wall. In the UK's wet climate — and especially on tree-lined streets across London and the Thames Valley — blocked or leaking gutters quickly lead to damp patches, rotten fascia boards and even foundation problems.

We recommend clearing gutters at least twice a year — once after autumn leaf fall and again in spring. If you're seeing plants growing in the gutter, water spilling over the edges, or black mould on the wall beneath, it's time to act.

For properties with old cast iron or perished plastic gutters, upgrading to uPVC or aluminium systems pays for itself in reduced maintenance. We install seamless aluminium gutters in custom lengths for a clean, leak-free finish that lasts decades — popular on period homes across Berkshire and West London.

Our gutter cleaning service includes a full inspection of downpipes, fascia condition and brackets — so you know exactly what needs attention before it becomes expensive.
