Gutter, Gully & Drain Clearance

Following inspection, we will give you a full report on the problem, the diagnosis and the work carried out.  For example, it may be that your pipes are corroded which could potentially result in the problem reoccurring.  We will always advise you as necessary and can often conduct the repairs as well.  However, rest-assured we will do our best to make sure the problem doesn’t come back.

The best way to keep your gutters clean is to organise a regular maintenance schedule so there’s no risk of blockages.  With scheduled maintenance, if there are any issues arising, we will let you know at the early stages so they can be dealt with, before they cause a blockage.

Yes, we think it’s a good idea to choose the early summer or late spring, because seeds fall during springtime sometimes clogging up gutters.  It’s also a good idea to have your gutters cleaned at the end of autumn when leaves stop falling.  Leaves can cause blockages over the winter time.

Gutters usually fill with rainwater when  blocked and you will see that water will start  to drip from the top of the gutter when overflowing. You might notice leaking from your gutters when there has been a lot of rain or standing water has frozen during cold periods, causing the guttering to crack and split.  Clogged gutters can also cause leaks inside your building where your ceilings meet your walls, so it’s important to keep them well maintained.

A gully is a open area underneath concrete covered by an iron grill.  Sometimes they get blocked with rubbish, debris, leaves and weeds which stops water flowing freely to the main sewer.

We use specialist equipment which comprises of suckers and jetters. These suckers remove mud and waste and they are strong enough to remove stones, branches and twigs.  Then we dispose of the waste off-site in accordance with our waste management procedures.
