When gutters are blocked, water has nowhere to go but over the sides. This leads to water running down the exterior walls, causing penetrating damp, peeling paint and foundation erosion.

Damp, leaf-filled gutters are the perfect habitat for pests, including insects, rodents and birds, which can eventually find their way into your roof space

Overflowing gutters can act like a waterfall, dumping litres of water onto your flowerbeds, patios and driveways. This can drown plants and cause pitting or staining on your clean driveway or stone paths.
