We use the latest gutter cleaning technology to get the most effective results with the gutter vac system, which is a specialised and powerful industrialised wet and dry vacuum. We can clean up to 5 storeys without the use of ladders, cherry pickers and scaffolding.

All kinds of debris, including litter, can be found blocking gutters. One common problem with gutters is plant growth. This can creep into the brickwork and create substantial root or branch systems. The weight from that plant growth can cause strain on, and eventual breakage of gutter fixings.

We always make sure that we are thorough when emptying out gutters to ensure they will last for a period of time.

Blocked gutters can be a significant cause of dirty windows, especially to business buildings so for larger buildings we recommend checking your gutters more frequently.

When gutters stop working efficiently, the overflow of water not only has the potential to soak the windows underneath them but also to carry much of the dirt and debris down with them, which will in turn make the windows much dirtier than normal.

Regular maintenance is paramount to keeping your gutters in good working order, so we encourage our customers to book regular cleans.

Our team is very experienced in carrying out these messy tasks. Our special equipment, training and technology make the job easier in order to produce excellent results, despite the weather.

GUTTER EMPTYING: WHY BOTHER?

I love living in Bristol! However, when some friends moved from London to Bristol they kept mentioning how much wind and rain there was compared to the East of England. Annoying when your faults are highlighted, isn’t it? Sadly, they were correct. It can rain an awful lot in the Windy West (maybe add a photo of wind and rain at Bristol landmark).

Let’s link this with the potential of water damage to your home if your gutters are not emptied often enough and run through a common scenario:

In our beautiful, former Green Capital of Europe (2015) – The City of Bristol – that pesky wind is sending you all the leaves in creation: ‘I don’t even have that kind of tree in my garden! Where do they all come from?’ Those are the leaves you can see. Your gutters are fast becoming lovely lodgings for leaves, twigs, soil, small rocks, nests, balls and other random items. You know this. You can see it when you draw back your curtains in the morning. Your partner is nagging you about it. You tell yourself: ‘I really need to precariously get up the ladder (that I do not own) and clear out all that wedged in filth on the only dry day this month instead of enjoying myself.’ Why not tell yourself: ‘I really need to just text that number once a year and tick ‘gutter emptying’ off my essential house maintenance list’  

Once empty, the gutters function as they were designed to do; to divert water AWAY from your home. This is imperative. Imagine water pooling around the foundation of your house and then freezing in the winter. Yikes. That is why Wessex Water recently listed gutter clearing as a Top Money Saving tip. Clear those gutters Bristol!

Peace of mind ensues…
