In a recent blog post we wrote about how important gutter cleaning is when it comes to the overall maintenance of your property and the potential problems you may encounter if you don’t keep your gutters clean.
As a follow-up piece we thought it would be a good idea to share our thoughts on the most common causes of a blocked gutter we come across when helping client with gutter cleaning in Gloucester and the surrounding areas.
Unsurprisingly, falling leaves from trees next to your property and moss are the most common cause of a blocked gutter. These leaves and moss can also make an ideal environment for nesting birds and others animals too.
Another problem that the team encounter when cleaning gutters across Gloucestershire is roof tile sand. Sand can cause a big problem for guttering; not only does it slow down the water flow, but it can also act as a binding agent for small objects of debris and dirt. Over time these can start accumulating at different points around your guttering and create mini dams.
