Blocked gutters overflow and send water down your walls, into your foundations and behind your fascias. We clear all debris, flush the system and check downpipes — with photo evidence so you can see the result. Free quotes, fully insured.
Blocked gutters are one of the most common causes of damp and water damage in UK homes — yet one of the most overlooked maintenance tasks. Leaves, moss from the roof, silt and debris accumulate over autumn and winter, and by spring many gutters are partially or fully blocked without the homeowner being aware.
An overflowing gutter directs rainwater down the wall face, into the cavity, behind the fascia and soffit boards, and eventually into the roof space or interior walls. The resulting damp, rot and structural damage costs far more to fix than a regular gutter clear.
We provide photo evidence of gutters before and after clearing — because gutters are up at height, most homeowners never actually see them. You get a clear record of the condition and confirmation that the job has been done properly.

All leaves, moss, silt and debris scooped out and bagged. Every run of guttering worked through systematically.
Each downpipe checked and flushed — a blocked downpipe negates clearing the gutters above it.
Water run through the full gutter system to confirm it drains freely and identify any remaining issues.
After photos taken and any issues — leaking joints, cracked sections, sagging runs — reported clearly and honestly.
At least once a year — ideally in late autumn after the leaves have fallen, or in early spring. Properties with overhanging trees or significant nearby vegetation may need clearing twice a year. It's a small, regular maintenance cost that prevents much larger damp and structural repair bills.
Visible overflow during rain (water pouring over the front or back of the gutter), plants or grass growing in the gutter, damp patches on internal walls near the eaves, and marks or staining on the wall below the gutter are all signs. Many blocked gutters show no obvious signs at ground level until a heavy rain event causes overflow.
Because you can't easily see your gutters from ground level, and we think it's important you can verify the work has been done properly. We photograph before clearing so you can see what was there, and after so you can see the result. It's also useful for insurance purposes if you've had damp issues linked to gutter overflow.
Yes — while clearing, we inspect for leaking joints, cracked sections, sagging runs and any signs the guttering has pulled away from the fascia. We report everything we find honestly and, where repairs are needed, give you a fair quote. We never exaggerate problems or push unnecessary work.
We work on standard domestic properties of all heights — bungalows, two-storey and three-storey homes across Lincolnshire. We use appropriate ladders and access equipment. For very tall or commercial properties, contact us to discuss access requirements.
