How can gutter cleaning benefit your property in autumn?

Gutter cleaning, to remove blockages caused by autumn leaves

Now that summer seems to be behind us, you’re running out of time to ensure that your property is prepared for the coming months.

Autumn is one of the most challenging times of the year for your gutters. As we covered in our last blog, falling leaves and heavy rain can all wreak havoc on your guttering without you noticing – which can be made worse if you haven’t been keeping on top of your gutter cleaning or maintenance.

So, now is your last chance to get on top of your guttering’s maintenance, before the weather turns for good!

Prevent blocked gutters with regular gutter cleaning

Leaving gutters unattended can be problematic for your property. Over time, leaves and other debris can accumulate in your guttering, which can lead to the formation of blockages and cause pipes to overflow. If ignored, blockages can not only cause damage to your property’s guttering and roof, but can also cause internal problems – like the growth of damp.

Choosing to conduct gutter cleaning before the leaves start to fall will help prevent blockages forming, while also preventing other unsightly issues.

Gutter cleaning can protect your interests

Due to the unpredictable nature of British weather, routine gutter servicing is now considered an essential part of any commercial or industrial property’s maintenance. Plus, businesses who choose to conduct gutter cleaning and maintenance regularly can benefit from reduced insurance premiums, and are less likely to need to claim on their policy.

Utilising national gutter cleaning with UK Gutters

If you struggle with maintaining the condition of your guttering across multiple properties, then investing in a national gutter cleaning contract with UK Gutters may be the answer.

Our national gutter cleaning contracts take the stress out of organising gutter cleaning. Not only do they negate the need to organise multiple contractors across the country (our two-man gutter cleaning teams will always be local when you need them), but we also arrange your gutter cleaning – so that you don’t have to.

In addition to this, all of our gutter cleaning contractors hold the appropriate IPAF or PASMA skill cards and are trained and certified first aiders – meaning that you can rest assured knowing that the professionals are handling your gutters.

To summarise

Here at UK Gutters, we recommend that you have your property’s guttering cleaned on a biannual basis. Even though the benefits of regular gutter cleaning are lauded often, it can prove to be crucial during the autumn months, in order to keep your business, your property, and your workforce safe.
