Blocked gutter clearing Problems in Leighton Buzzard

Whether it's a bungalow, a three-storey townhouse or a house with a conservatory roof below the gutter, blocked gutter clearing in Leighton Buzzard depends most on how high the gutters are and how many metres need clearing.

What Is Blocking Your Gutter?

The usual culprit is a compacted plug of leaves and silt right at the outlet. Bird nests, lost balls and plants growing in the gutter are also common. Occasionally a dropped bracket leaves a dip where water and silt collect. A camera on a pole shows which problem you have before anything is removed.

The specialist may remove trapped leaves and growth from the overflowing section, then check whether water can pass into the downpipe. A blockage below the outlet needs separate attention.

What Happens on the Call-Out

  1. The blockage is found with a pole camera.
  2. The plug is vacuumed or lifted out.
  3. The outlet and swan neck are rodded if debris has been pushed into them.
  4. A water test checks the gutter now empties properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some quick answers about blocked gutters in Leighton Buzzard.

How do I get a blocked gutter cleared in Leighton Buzzard?

Send one enquiry with your postcode and a note of where the gutter is overflowing. We can pass it to up to four companies that clear blocked gutters around Leighton Buzzard.

Is my gutter blocked or is the downpipe blocked?

If the gutter overflows right above the downpipe and looks clear, the pipe is the likely problem. If water spills further along, the gutter itself is usually blocked.

Can I clear a blocked gutter myself?

Only if it is low enough to reach safely from the ground. Working from a ladder is a common cause of falls at home, so most people leave anything above a single storey to a specialist.

Should I get the rest of my gutters cleaned too?

If they have not been cleaned for a year or more, it is usually worth it. The extra cost while the equipment is set up is often small.
