People often ask once there gutters are cleared of moss, debris , sand and silt would it be better to fit hedgehog type gutter fillers. It is a topical discussion as it can stop some debris getting in temporarily. However, if not removed and cleaned properly the above results can happen. Believe it or not there are gutter type hedgehogs under these pictures reason I know is I had to remove them.

Is now the right time to have my gutters cleaned out?

You’d expect a gutter cleaning company to say that now Is always the best time to have your gutters cleaned out, but let’s take a close look at this important home maintenance activity.

Many home owners feel that waiting for the last leaves to fall from the trees is the sign to call up their local GutterPRO and get them along to clear the gutters out. This is normally during December, after the winds that often accompany the run up to Christmas.

Leaves blow onto roofs and work their way down into the gutter. Wet leaves will stick to gutter floors and walls, especially at the corners where the natural flow of rainwater draining toward the outlet (where the downpipe hole is located) is slowed.

If your home is susceptible to leaf litter, perhaps you have to sweep them up in your garden during the winter, we often see clumps of leaves completely covering the outlet, where a small plastic grid is sometimes fitted to stop gutter debris going down the downpipe. During rain, gutters soon fill up, and will start to overflow.

Naturally Biodegradable, the leaves start to break down and leave a organic compost which, come the spring is likely to play host to w**d growth. This increasingly restricts water flow and during heavy rain, can cause your gutter to overflow and allow water to get into places where it shouldn’t.

We have seen water marks on inside walls, damp & mold spores caused by badly maintained gutters. A problem that can be nipped in the bud, quickly and easily with a gutter clean out before Spring.

A call to GutterPRO Ayrshire on 01292 840299 is a risk-free way of making sure that your gutters are working as they should, because before every job starts with a full camera survey to make sure that the gutters do need clearing out. If there is no problem, then there is no charge.

We do it from the ground with vacuum and carbon fibre poles up to 4 storeys high. all we need is acc

Why do gutters need cleaning AFTER a prolonged rain?

The heavens have opened, it’s been raining heavily and your gutters have been OK, so why should your gutters need cleaning?

Gutters carry all the rainwater that falls on your roof down safely to drains and prevent water ingress to your home. When they become blocked or clogged, it slows the flow rate down. Even gutters that look fine from the ground can have water flow impeded by up to 80%. This can cause a problem which only reveals itself during heavier rain showers.

As the rain falls onto the roof, it runs down the tiles and into your guttering. On its way into the gutter, the water washes down whatever is on the tiles into the gutters. This can be bird muck, lumps of moss and grit. This happens to be the perfect growing medium for plants, which germinate quickly once the sun comes out.

In particular, if your gutters have any corner sections these areas are particularly susceptible to clogging, but even a joint can disrupt flow enough to start to cause a problem.

How do I tell if I have a problem?

It’s difficult to tell what is in your gutters standing on the ground. In extreme cases you might see plants growing or moss hanging over the edge of the gutter, but much like an iceberg the majority will be lurking below the gutter edge.

On the ground, you might see lumps of moss appear as birds peck through the gutter contents for food and flick it over the edge.

At GutterPRO, we start every job with a remote camera survey. This will reveal the extent of the problem, or if there is no problem at all. If the camera survey shows clear gutters, we show you the pictures and do not make a charge for this service.

If there is debris in the gutter, we will carry out a clear there and then, showing you the before and after photos so you have peace of mind that we have done a professional job for you.

Hi welcome to GutterPro Ayrshire my name is Peter Honeyman and I look forward to working with you clearing and cleaning your gutters. I have put in place some posts which under the current circumstances may be of assistance to yourselves in making some difficult decisions.

Would your insurance pay out for water damage as a result of a blocked gutter after heavy rain?
Many responsible homeowners consider gutter clearing as a regular home maintenance activity. Keeping the worst of British weather on the outside of your home is certainly more preferential than having water coming in causing damp and mold.
As we enter Winter, many of the most popular home insurance providers and insurance comparison sites have highlighted that some insurers may refuse or reduce any payout for damage caused as a result of failing to keep gutters clear.
From Confused.com: “For example, if your home is damaged from water overflowing from a blocked gutter, your insurer may turn down a claim because you should have kept your gutters clear.”
From Churchill “Poor upkeep could also seriously affect your claim if the insurer decides that maintenance would have prevented the problem from occurring. That’s why you need to keep your home in tiptop shape, especially, checking for blocked gutters and loose tiles on the roof.”
From Admiral “Keep your gutters and downspouts clean and clear”
And from TSB, “If you read your home insurance policy, you will almost certainly find a requirement for you to keep your property in good condition. Damage caused (or made worse) by a lack of maintenance may not be covered. Slipped roof tiles, damaged rendering, blocked gutters and poorly maintained flat roofs could all contribute to claims being rejected – at least in part.”
With GutterPRO, not only do we always provide a dated, written proof of when the job was completed, we can also supply before and after photos to show that the job was done effectively.
Gutter clearing is an essential part of home maintenance, that really isn’t fun or easy unless you have the right equipment to reach up over conservatories. When did you last have your gutters cleared out?
