Gutter Cleaning is an essential maintenance requirement for every property and should be checked at least annually (See Gutter Cleaning Cost?)

The Guttering system is designed to protect the property from damp with the main objective being the protection of building foundations.

The Roof of a property is a large surface area so can collect a vast amount of water which needs to be directed away so even the smallest of leaks or overflows from a gutter can cause considerable damage to your property.

It is also a known fact that leaking gutters are one of, if not the biggest cause of internal damp within homes nationwide. Black mould on a wall is a tell tale sign that dampness is entering the property and could likely be because of a fault in the rain gutter system. Over time a small leak could allow damp to soak into the wall cavity and eventually penetrate the internal wall which can take a very long time to dry.
