Cleaning your gutters is an often overlooked job, but certainly not one that should be ignored. If you’ve noticed your gutters are clogged or the waterflow doesn’t seem right. Now might be the right time to clean your gutters. We would recommend you get your gutters cleaning at least once a year.

When is the best time to clean gutters?

You can get your gutters cleaned professionally at any time of the year. Due to the seasons however, there are some prime times. You can get your gutters cleaning at the beginning of spring, to clear out any mess from the previous year. Or, if you’re really on it, get them cleaned at the end of Autumn.

Why clean your gutters in the first place?

A build up of debris and rubbish in your guttering can lead to property damage. The purpose of your guttering is to take away the rainfall from your roof to the nearest drainage system. If your guttering is blocked, that water will find it’s way out to unwanted areas of your property. Such as running down your exterior walls and into the base of your property.
