Gutter Cleaning in Cambridge

Cambridge has a lot of rain throughout the year, and in autumn, the trees shed plenty of leaves straight into your roof gutters. When rainwater gutters get blocked, the water can’t flow properly and starts spilling over the sides. This can soak into your walls, damage your foundations, and cause damp patches inside your home. Blocked gutter channels also attract pests and birds who like to nest in the debris. Getting your gutters cleaned twice a year is a really easy way to avoid big, expensive repair bills later on.

Watch for these signs:

• Water spilling over the edges of the gutter during rain
• Guttering that is sagging or has come away from the wall
• Plants, weeds, or moss growing out of the gutter system
• Damp or dark patches appearing on your outside walls
• Birds or insects nesting in or around the gutters

If you spot any of these, it is time to book a gutter clean.

We believe twice a year is a good frequency for cleaning, once in spring and once in autumn. But if your home is near trees, like many Cambridge properties near the river or in areas like Newnham, Chesterton, or Fulbourn, you might need it done a bit more often. Cambridge weather can also bring heavy rain, which adds more debris to your drainage gutters.

Yes, we clean all the typical types of guttering found on properties in Cambridge. This includes uPVC gutters, which are common on newer homes, cast iron gutters that you often see on older Victorian and Edwardian terraces, aluminium gutters, and timber gutters on older buildings. We can also clean your soffits and fascia boards for an additional
charge.

We do not work in high winds or icy conditions because it is not safe to do so. If we need to change your appointment due to the weather, we’ll inform you as soon as possible and get you rebooked quickly.
