Common Gutter Problems

Blocked gutters and downpipes - a common "everyday" issue that our roofers in London encounter is gutters and downpipes that have become blocked. Your gutter system is vulnerable to becoming clogged, this is especially true during the course of the Autumn and Winter where the levels of dirt, leaves, and other potential obstructions increases. When left untreated this can cause further difficulties. Blocked gutters and downpipes hinder the safe transportation of water through the system and into the main drains. Furthermore during periods of heavy rain, water can start to pool and eventually lead to your guttering overflowing and leaking. Overflowing water can lead to flooding and eventually damage to a buildings structure, foundations and fascia and soffit boards.

Despite the complications caused by a clogged gutter system, the actual blockages themselves can simply be repaired. The problem is resolved by clearing the obstruction e.g. leaves, moss, silt, dirt that is restricting the free flow of water. At Gutter Cleaning Nottingham, our independent contractors regularly advise clients to inspect their gutters and downpipes, especially in the Autumn and Winter months. This is a time when plants and trees lose their leaves which can easily find their way into your guttering. By surveying and maintaining your gutter system you can have confidence in knowing that it is free from blockages so water can safely be transported away from your property. Our Roofing London team can professionally inspect and clean your gutters and downpipes. We can also install guards to maintain a free flowing gutter system.

Sagging Gutters - gutters that are frequently clogged can start to sag. The additional stress of the blockage and pooling water can cause the brackets holding the guttering to fail. This results in gutters that sag. Another common cause of sagging gutters is poor fitting. If the brackets are spaced incorrectly or insecure there is a possibility that the guttering will sag. Gutter Cleaning London know how unsightly sagging gutters can make the exterior of your property look. If sagging gutters are caused by stagnant water this can be a potential health and safety hazard should the guttering completely fail.

Insufficient Fall - guttering that has been installed with a lack of gradient is less likely to channel the rainwater completely through the system, away from your building, and into the central drainage network. Insufficient fall on a gutter system can cause stagnating water and possible overflowing problems. Gutter Cleaning London recommend to always have you gutter and downpipes installed by a qualified professional to prevent this problem from occurring.

General wear and tear - as with all building materials, gutters and downpipes too have a lifespan. Over a period your gutter system can begin to show signs of wear and tear and decay. This process is accelerated if your building is exposed to a harsh climate. Signs of wear and tear include tears, cracks, splits, crooked and frayed edges, and discolouration. Gutters and downpipes that are manufactured from PVC are a contemporary alternative to timber and iron. To reduce costs, Gutter Cleaning London advise having replacement gutters and downpipes fitted when you have other related building work carried out.

Why gutters and downpipes are essential

Here at Gutter Cleaning London, our independent roofers regularly recommend that out clients ensure that they have a gutter system that is in  a satisfaction. This gives peace of mind that your property has adequate protection. Past roofing projects completed by our team show that gutter cleaning and maintenance is frequently overlooked by building owners. This is important as neglect to roof related components can lead to costly repairs in the future. This remedial work can easily be avoided with professional installation and care of roofs, fascia and soffits and guttering. For specialist guidance get in contact with Roofing London today.

The function of a gutter system is to safely transport rainwater runoff into the central drainage network. The absence of any guttering on a building would mean rainwater would fail to reach the main drains and instead collect and pool around the property. Left unchecked, this could cause significant damage, potentially seeping into the foundations and internal structure of a building. Leading to internal damp issues, flooding, decay of plaster and paint work and growth of mould and mildew. Hence, gutters and downpipes basically provide protection to a buildings foundations and internal framework.
