Blocked gutters can retain rainwater and collect leaves, moss and other debris. A clearance enquiry should describe the building and any known problem areas.
What gutter clearance involves
Depending on access and equipment, clearing gutters may involve removing debris from accessible lengths and checking the immediate areas that can be inspected safely. Repairs, leak diagnosis and downpipe unblocking should be confirmed separately rather than assumed.
- Removal of accessible gutter debris where agreed
- Consideration of gutters above porches and conservatories
- Discussion of downpipes and drainage concerns
- Access and height assessment before work is booked
When to make an enquiry
Visible plant growth, overflowing water during rainfall or accumulated leaves may indicate a need for inspection. Similar symptoms can have other causes, so the business should not guarantee that clearance alone will resolve a leak.
Property and access details
Mention the number of storeys, conservatories, extensions, narrow side passages and any known obstructions. These can change the method and cost of the work.
