So, why clean your gutters in summer?

The arrival of summer means that spring has finally gone. During the spring season your gutters will have become filled with dirt, debris, leaves, twigs and more. You may also find that birds and other small animals have decided that your gutter is the perfect place for a nest too.

By removing this build up you will clear your gutters out. This will reduce the risk of blockages, overflowing gutters and damage to your guttering, roof or property. Instead, the gutter will remain clear of debris and the water will flow easily along the gutter and through the downspout.

The great British summer doesn’t always mean sunshine either. Here in the UK we can have some pretty heavy rain, wind and even thunderstorms. This extreme weather can cause damage to your gutters, especially if they are already full of debris or blocked. The extra weight from the stormy summer downpour can result in your gutters breaking or serious structural damage being caused to your home.

Following the summer season, comes the autumn season. While this isn’t something we want to think about while enjoying the paddling pool, picnics in the park and cold beers in the local pub garden – autumn will soon be here.

Autumn is the season when the leaves begin to fall from the trees. If your gutters haven’t been cleaned out this will increase the risk of blockages and subsequent gutter damage even more.

As with most things, prevention is better than cure. When it comes to your gutters, prevention is a lot cheaper and less stressful that cure too.
