Gutter Cleaning in Bournville

Blocked gutters tend to show up late, usually as a damp patch inside or water running down the brickwork. We clear them with a high-reach vacuum worked from the ground, drawing the moss, silt and leaf litter out through a jointed pole rather than tipping it into your borders. A camera on the pole head means we can see the blockage before we start and show you the run afterwards, so nothing is taken on trust. Fascias, soffits and downpipes are done on the same visit.

Bournville is hard on guttering. The old village houses have steep tiled roofs with a deep overhang, and on many of them the gutter run sits back behind the eaves board where you cannot see it from the pavement at all. The roads were planted with limes and horse chestnuts when they were first laid out, and those trees now stand well above the ridge lines, so the runs fill from directly overhead rather than from next door. Add the moss that washes off the shaded pitches after a wet winter and a gutter can silt up solid without a single leaf showing over the edge.

Autumn is our busy stretch here. For most Bournville roofs the sensible pattern is one clear-out after the leaf fall has finished, usually late November, with a second look in spring where a house sits directly beneath one of the mature street trees. A visit normally takes an hour or two depending on the length of the run, the debris leaves with us instead of going on the garden, and we check the downpipes are running before we pack up. Send us the address and we will fit you into the next Bournville round.
