How often should you have your gutters cleared?
Once a year suits most houses. Twice a year if you have trees nearby or moss on the roof. If water is already spilling over, don't wait for a schedule.

A simple rule of thumb
| Your house | How often |
|---|---|
| No trees nearby, newer roof | Once a year |
| Trees within a few metres | Twice a year: late autumn and spring |
| Moss on the roof tiles | Twice a year, and consider roof moss removal |
| Never cleared, or you've just moved in | Now, then as above |
What blocks gutters
Leaves and twigs, moss falling from the tiles, grit washed off the roof, and plants that root in the build-up. Moss is the one most people underestimate: on older concrete-tile roofs it's often most of what we pull out.
Signs they need clearing
- Water spilling over the edge in heavy rain
- Water running down the wall or a dark damp patch below the gutter
- Plants or moss visible above the gutter line
- A downpipe that barely runs during rain

Best time of year
Late autumn, once most leaves are down, catches the biggest build-up before the wettest months. A spring clear suits houses near trees that drop seeds and blossom.
How we clear them
We use a gutter vacuum from the ground, so nothing leans on the gutters and rear runs over conservatories or yards are reachable. Then we check each outlet and downpipe for flow. Prices are on our gutter clearing page.
