How often should I have my gutter cleaned?
Insurance provider LV recommends guttering should be checked at least twice per year. So our recommendation is once after Spring and Once after Autumn.
From our experience twice a year seems to be fine for many home owners and had found some have not had their gutters cleaned for over 5 years! We would not recommend waiting for 5 years though. Guttering has been left for this period of time we are often on called when there is a problem. We don't mind helping but for extra piece of mind if this is what is important to you we would recommend having your gutters cleaned and checked once per year as a minimum.
When should you get your gutters cleaned twice per year?
If your home has a very mossy roof or is covered by lots of low hanging trees. It is best to have your gutters cleaned between the following seasons. First clean in Spring between Early February and April then a second time in Autumn between September - December. It is hard to give you an exact time to have this done, because it depends on the problems your home is facing and the types of trees near by.
When can't we clean your gutters?
The only time we cannot clear out your gutters is when its FROZEN. Our advise is to not have your gutters cleared when the weather is frozen and do not postpone essential maintained on your guttering because when things freeze...There is no place for the water to go and often causes over spilling.
When has underlying gutter issues or blocked downpipes. The guttering holds excess water and moss the sitting water freezes and as the frosted roof on your property begins to thaw out the water will roll straight over the frozen guttering and splash up against the brick work potentially causing damp. The problem with this happening in the winter is that because the weather is so cold there is little opportunity for brickwork dry out as it would usually do in the summer. This increases the potential damp entering your home through damp brick work.
How we clean gutters in Solihull
We are one of the top-rated exterior cleaning companies in Solihull when it comes to gutter cleaning and roof cleaning. We combine the use of innovative technology, like the Spinaclean SkyVac Gutter Cleaner which allows us to reach guttering traditionally unreachable by ladders. But we're not afraid using the good old-fashioned ladder and bucket when the task calls for it.
Unfortunately many within the cleaning industry hold the view that Vacuum is better than the ladder and bucket. We sit some where in the middle and like to choose the best way to clean all of your gutters, and make your gutter cleaning problems go away. Our solution is to become your gutter cleaning gurus and stop you running up and down the ladders which are statistically dangerous and potentially fatal.
Gutter cleaning can be a messy job but we treat your home as if it was our own. If your gutter are SUPER packed full of moss and water, it came sometimes be inevitable that there is some mess. Occasionally the gutters will over spill during the process.
Do you think your gutters need cleaning on the outside too?
If you think that you guttering could do with a REAL shine, please consider our UPVC Fascia and Soffit cleaning service with your gutter cleaning. This is to clean the UPVC plastics that would include the outside face of your guttering, fascia boards and soffits which are the plastic bits where your guttering is fitted.
Cleaning the outside of the guttering is not included in your gutter clearance / cleaning service. We clean out the moss and organic growth that lives inside your guttering and check to make sure your downpipes are unblocked too.

Can Guttering Cause Damp?
Yes, leaking, damaged or blocked guttering can cause damp. Incorrectly fitted guttering can cause damp too.
If you have recently noticed damp appearing inside and outside of your home, there is a high chance there's something going wrong with your guttering. Its typically the first thing to check when investigating damp inside a house.
Guttering is a system, and when installed correctly allows water to run off your roof, across your guttering and down into the surface drains. Guttering is a very effective system to move rain water away from your home.
But when guttering is installed incorrectly, is damaged or missing pieces, over time your home can show signs of damp. This can appear as green algae and or black mold. Over time will cause a real problem for the integrity of your home.
The first step is to establish the problem, then fix the issue.
The example above shows how incorrectly fitted guttering allows water to spill over the guttering. The example below shows how having missing guttering can cause damp on your home.
If you have damp in your home, a cost effective first step is to have your gutter cleaned and investigated first.
Our small team can help with gutter cleaning, investigating the issue and then minor gutter repairs.
