Having gutter cleaning tools should not be something people want, but should be something people need. If you have never had a gutter blocked then you may not know the full extent of damage it can do to your home......

  • Mortar and bricks will become damaged.
  • Mold and damp will form on walls all over the house.
  • The walls will soak in moisture leading to plaster damage and wall paper rotting.

Once the effects become visible to the homeowner it is usually to late for preventive measures such as unblocking the pipes with gutter cleaning tools and gutter cleaning equipment. The only option left will be to pay up for a professionals to come in to repair the damage which can add up to a hefty sum of cash when you consider you will need a bricklayer to repair mortar damage, plasterer for re-plastering and a painter and decorator to re-paper etc. As you can see this is not a do it yourself job by this stage, unless your extremely clever and a jack of all trades.


The Best Time Of Year To Clean Gutters

Checking and clearing gutters should be done regularly but it is very important in the autumn when the trees are shedding there leaves. This is the time of year the gutters are most likely to cause problems by leaves and other debris building up in the gutters and downpipes etc.

Tips On How To Clean Gutters

1. Use some kind of protective sheeting such as dustsheets or plastic sheeting on the ground to prevent the dirt, leaves and other debris from falling on the ground and causing a mess.

2. Always have someone with you when you are using a ladder. I know many people who have used a ladder on there own who have fallen off due to the ladder slipping because the ladder was on the wrong angle and nobody supporting there weight on the bottom to prevent this from happening.

3. Use a broom handle or scarper to clean out debris, but make sure you do not push the debris towards the downpipes, always over the top and on to the protective sheeting below, or alternatively you could use gutter cleaning tools for a more effective job.

4. Clean the gutter in small segments. DO NOT try and over reach as this could potentially lead to serious injury or even death if you fall from the ladder. Clean a small area then come down from the ladder and move the ladder onto the next section all way around the property.

5. And lastly use a hose pipe to clean any existing dirt and to make sure all of the pipes are leaving water flow through correctly. If not find were the problem is and go back with your gutter cleaning tools and remove the blockage and re test until everything is flowing correctly.
