Fascias and Guttering

Gutter Clearing & Unblocking Northampton

Blocked guttering is one of the most common, and most avoidable, causes of water damage to a property. Leaves, moss and general debris build up over time, and once a gutter can't drain properly, water finds somewhere else to go, usually somewhere you'd rather it didn't. We clear and unblock guttering across Northampton and Milton Keynes, as a one-off job or on a regular basis.

Signs Your Gutters Need Clearing

  • Water visibly overflowing over the edge of the gutter during rain

  • Plants or moss growing in the guttering itself

  • Damp patches appearing on walls below the gutter line

  • Visible debris or sagging sections when viewed from ground level

What a Gutter Clearing Visit Involves

  1. Clearing leaves, moss and general debris from the full length of the guttering

  2. Checking downpipes for blockages and clearing these too, since a clear gutter with a blocked downpipe will still overflow

  3. A check of joints, brackets and fall while access is in place, so we can flag anything else that needs attention

  4. Disposal of the debris removed, leaving the area tidy

How Often Gutters Need Clearing

This depends heavily on what's near the property. Homes surrounded by trees, particularly overhanging ones, generally need clearing more often than those in more open settings. As a general guide, once or twice a year, typically after autumn leaf fall and again before winter, is reasonable for most properties, though we can advise on a schedule suited to your specific situation.
