🌧️ Gutter Cleaning in Summer: Why You Shouldn’t Wait

We know what you’re thinking…

“It’s sunny. It’s dry. Gutter cleaning? That’s a winter job… right?”

Actually — summer is one of the best times to get your gutters cleaned. And if you wait until things start overflowing, it could already be too late. Here’s why taking action now can save you a lot of hassle (and money) later on.

🕳️ Gutters: Small Channels, Big Problems

Your gutters might seem like a small part of your home, but when they’re blocked, the problems can pile up fast:

🚫 Overflowing rainwater
🚫 Damp patches on walls
🚫 Damage to fascias and soffits
🚫 Foundation issues
🚫 Moss growth and leaks

And guess what? Most of these don’t show up until it’s too late.

☀️ Why Summer Is the Smart Time to Clean Them

Summer = perfect cleaning conditions. Here’s why:

✅ Dry debris is easier to remove – no soggy leaves or compacted sludge
✅ Fewer storms = less water flow during cleaning
✅ Get ahead of autumn leaf fall – your gutters will stay cleaner for longer
✅ Prevents blockages before winter rain
✅ Spotted issues early – like cracks, nesting, or sagging brackets

Think of it like servicing your boiler before the first frost.

🧽 What Our Summer Gutter Clean Includes

When you book with us, it’s not just a quick scoot around the edge. We go all in:

1. ✅ Full vacuum clean using powerful gutter vac systems

2. ✅ Inspection – identifying cracks, blockages, or hidden damage

3. ✅ Downpipe flush-through

4. ✅ Fascia, soffit & window clean included (yes, really!)

We treat your home like it’s our own — neat, tidy, and looking brand new once we’re done.

🧰 “But My Gutters Look Fine…”

They might — but that’s the trap. Most blockages happen out of sight. Summer is the sweet spot for checking in before the problems start.

One of our recent clients in Nailsworth hadn’t had theirs cleaned in 3 years — turns out, birds had nested in a hidden corner, and water had started dripping behind the fascia board.

We cleaned it all, removed the nest safely, and prevented what could’ve been a £500+ repair down the line.

⏳ Don’t Wait Until It’s Pouring

Once the leaves fall and rain kicks in, you’ll be back on the waiting list — with overflowing gutters and dripping nightmares. Avoid the chaos and get it booked in early.
