Why gutters matter more than they look
A gutter has one job: carry rainwater away from your walls. When it fills with leaves, moss and silt, the water has nowhere to go. It spills over the edge, runs down the brickwork and can soak into places it was never meant to reach.
Blocked gutters are one of the most common causes of damp and costly damage around a home. Clearing them is simple prevention compared with dealing with what an overflow can cause later.
What we do
We clear out the debris, remove the moss that has built up, and then flush the gutters through to check that the water is running freely. Flushing matters. A gutter can look empty and still be blocked at the outlet.
We can also clean down the fascias and soffits while we are there. They sit right next to the gutters, so they collect the same dirt and are easy to do in the same visit.
- Leaves, moss and debris removed
- Gutters flushed through
- Fascias and soffits cleaned down
- Front, back and side runs, or the full perimeter
- Houses, flats and commercial buildings
Signs your gutters need attention
Look for water spilling over the edge in heavy rain, or a waterfall coming from one corner. Look for plants growing out of the gutter, green streaks or dark stains running down the wall below, and damp patches inside near an outside wall.
If you can see weeds or seedlings along the roofline from the street, the gutters are overdue. Tell us about any overflow or leaks when you ask for a quote, so we know what to look for.
How often should gutters be cleared?
For most Liverpool homes, once a year is enough. Properties under or beside trees often need clearing twice a year, because leaves, seeds and twigs arrive faster. A home with no trees nearby can often manage with the annual clear.
Autumn is the obvious time, once the leaves have come down. Many people also like a check in spring, particularly if the house is under trees.
A quick check between visits: watch the gutters from the ground in heavy rain. If water is coming over the edge rather than running along to the downpipe, that is your cue to book.

A long gap is not a problem. We clear gutters that have been left for years, and customers have told us about how quickly a house that had been empty for a long time was put right.
