Gutter Vacuuming Burtonwood

Because it can no longer go along the path it should, blocked gutters can lead to water overflowing the sides of your gutters, and your property. Over time, this can cause damage to the exterior walls, features like the window frames, and even wear down the paint and rendering. In extreme cases, this can be the cause of serious ongoing damp issues.

Not only can water spill over the sides of the gutters and down the exterior of your property, but it can also seep into the roofline, either beneath the roof tiles or through the roof felt. This can lead to damp in your loft or attic, and damage to the insulation and ceiling plaster. If left untreated for too long, it can even cause rot in the rafters and timber.

When water isn't directed away from your property via the gutters, it often doesn't just harmlessly wash away. Sometimes, it can pool in and around the foundations, which in the worst cases, can cause serious structural issues and subsidence. It can also trigger soil erosion and cracks in the external walls.

Excess water isn't the only problem that can stem from gutter blockages. The debris built up in the gutters can be quite heavy, which can cause the guttering system to sag and pull away from the wall, or even break. These changes to the guttering system can mean that the water doesn't flow in the direction it was intended to, making the overflow problem worse.

Without proper drainage, water can also find its way into your home. This can be through small gaps in your property's exterior, such as cladding and cracks. The water reaches the internal walls and can cause damp patches and mould growth.

Blocked gutters are full of standing water and organic material, which creates a breeding ground for pests. These include insects like ants, wasps, and mosquitoes, and even larger mammalian pests like rats. Birds may also start nesting in the gutters, creating even more of a blockage. These pests can cause additional damage to your property, and bring with them hygiene issues.

In the UK, seasonal changes make regular gutter maintenance even more important. Autumn brings falling leaves, while spring sees the return of moss and plant growth, as well as storms and high rainfall.

When you clean gutters with a gutter vac, you are working from the ground. With more traditional methods of gutter cleaning, the technician needs to work on the gutters by hand. And this means working at height, on ladders, scaffolding, rope access, or cherry pickers.

Working from the ground level greatly reduces the risk of falls and injuries, making it a safer method for everyone involved.

With carbon fibre poles that extend up to four storeys high, we can clean gutters on tall or awkwardly shaped buildings with ease. Many roof types would require ladders or even rope access, especially complex or steep roofs and those with decorative features or glass.

With gutter vacuuming, we can reach gutters that would be almost inaccessible with traditional methods, providing you with a more thorough and precise clean.

When you use vacuum systems for gutter cleaning, you don't have to scoop up the debris and clean up afterwards. Instead, the debris is vacuumed directly into a sealed container, so no mess is left on the ground around your property, or on the walls, roof, or window sills. It is by far the cleanest method of cleaning gutters.

With cameras mounted on the carbon fibre poles, we can see exactly where the gutter debris is located. This allows us to precisely target our cleaning, and ensure that every last bit of mess and debris is removed.

These cameras also give us the opportunity to provide you with before and after photos so you can see the progress. We can also spot any areas of potential damage and highlight them to you. Fixing potential damage when it's still small can mean avoiding costly repairs down the line.

Unlike many traditional methods, gutter vacuuming doesn't put strain on gutter brackets or roof tiles. Working at height will often involve leaning or bracing elements like ladders on the edge of the roofline. This additional weight runs the risk of causing damage. This can be a particular problem when working with complex roofing where reaching the gutters is more challenging.

Because gutter vacuuming is completed from ground level, no weight is placed on any part of your gutter or roof system, reducing the risk of damage.

Gutter blockages often contain a mix of dirt, debris, and organic material. They also become a breeding ground for mould. With traditional methods, mould spores and other potential allergens are released into the air, and some of them may even enter your property.

Because the gutter debris is immediately vacuumed into a sealed container, airborne allergens are much less of a concern when using gutter vacuuming.

Gutter vacuuming is a cost service for a few reasons. First, by avoiding the use of access equipment like scaffolding and cherry pickers, it becomes a more affordable option. Second, it is more efficient, and the reduced time needed also reduces the cost.

Third, by avoiding the damage that can be caused by long-term blocked gutters, you are reducing the chance of needing to pay out for expensive repairs in the future.

Our gutter vacuuming system doesn't need chemicals or detergents. This means it causes less harm to both the local and global environment, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable solution.

Whether you call, email, or use our online form, we'll get back to you as soon as we can to arrange a convenient appointment. We offer flexible scheduling to suit your availability, including weekday and weekend appointments.

For larger properties or more complex guttering systems, we may recommend an on-site assessment to ensure that we bring along the right equipment on the day. In many cases, though, we can provide a quote straight away based on your property type.

On the day, our fully trained technicians will arrive on time with everything they need. We use powerful gutter vacuums with lightweight, extendable carbon fibre poles. This system allows us to clean gutters on many properties up to four storeys high while remaining at ground level.

We use specialist pole-mounted cameras to show you exactly what's in your gutters before and after the cleaning process. This also allows you to spot any areas that are showing signs of potential damage, so you can get them repaired before they become a big problem later down the line.

There is very little cleanup required after our technicians have finished. Any gutter debris is sucked into a sealed container to be disposed of in an appropriate location. Nothing is left behind on your walls, garden, or driveway.

We recommend cleaning your gutters at least once a year, ideally twice a year coinciding with the autumn leave drop and just before the spring showers. If your property has a lot of overhanging trees or you live somewhere prone to storms, it may be wise to have them cleaned more frequently. We offer an optional maintenance reminder service, at a schedule of your choice.

Rental properties are often vulnerable to gutter issues, especially if tenants don't report external problems. As a landlord or letting agent, you have a duty to maintain safe, habitable housing.
