We’re based in Ashford and out in Maidstone most weeks, so a blocked gutter is usually a quick job rather than a scheduling problem.
Most people call us because they’ve spotted water spilling over the front edge of the gutter in heavy rain, or a green stain running down the render below a joint. Both mean the same thing: the water isn’t getting to the downpipe and it’s going down the wall instead.
Everything is done from ground level using a high reach vacuum system, so nothing leans against your guttering, your fascias or your conservatory roof. You can read more about how we clear gutters on our main gutter cleaning page.
The older streets around the town centre and out towards Tovil and Loose are heavily tree-lined. The mature limes and sycamores there drop enough leaf litter to block a run in a single autumn, and it compacts down into a solid mat rather than washing through.
Out on the newer estates at Grove Green, Weavering and Vinters Park the trees are younger and the problem is different. Shallower modern roof pitches mean water moves more slowly off the tiles, so silt and moss granules settle in the gutter instead of being carried to the downpipe.
The 1930s semis around Penenden Heath and Allington tend to show the problem in the fascia boards first, since the overflow runs straight down behind them.
Water that can’t drain away runs down the wall. On the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre that means saturated brickwork and, eventually, damp showing through inside. On the interwar housing it usually rots the fascia board first, which is a replacement job rather than a cleaning one.
Most properties want doing once a year, and the autumn clear is the important one. If you’ve got trees overhanging the roof, and plenty of Maidstone does, a second clear in spring stops the debris compacting over the summer.
If you’ve spotted any of them, it’s worth getting looked at before winter rather than after. We’ll tell you what we find, including anything that needs attention beyond a clean, such as splits, sagging sections or loose brackets.
