Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning
Visible Debris
If you can see leaves, moss, or plants growing in gutters, they need cleaning. Even if gutters aren't completely blocked yet, debris accumulation will eventually cause problems.
Overflowing During Rain
Water spilling over gutter edges during rainfall means gutters are blocked. Don't wait - the longer water overflows, the more damage it causes.
Sagging Gutters
Gutters that sag or pull away from the building are often weighed down by debris and standing water. Clean gutters are lighter and sit properly against fascias.
Damp Patches on Walls
Damp patches below the roofline often indicate gutter overflow. If you notice water staining on walls, check gutters as the likely cause.
Birds or Pests
Birds nesting in gutters, or evidence of rodents, indicates blocked gutters providing shelter. Cleaning removes the problem and prevents pests returning.

How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?
Most properties benefit from annual gutter cleaning. However, frequency depends on several factors:
Property Location
Properties surrounded by trees need more frequent cleaning - potentially twice yearly. Autumn is particularly important as falling leaves quickly block gutters.
Gutter Guards
If you have gutter guards fitted, they reduce cleaning frequency but don't eliminate the need entirely. Guards themselves need checking and clearing periodically.
Property Type
Large roofs collect more debris. Commercial properties with extensive flat roof areas and multiple outlets need regular attention to keep drainage working.
Our Recommendation
For most Surrey homes: Annual cleaning, ideally in late autumn after leaves have fallen.
For properties near trees: Spring and autumn cleaning.
For commercial properties: Quarterly inspection and cleaning as needed.
