Gutter Cleaning in Lancing

We clear all types of guttering including half-round, square-line, ogee, and deep-flow profiles in PVC, cast iron, and aluminium. The job involves removing leaves, moss, silt, and debris from the gutter channel, checking fall angles to ensure water flows toward the downpipes, and flushing the system with water to confirm it is draining properly. We also clear flat roof outlets, valley gutters, and parapet channels where debris accumulates.

A gutter can be perfectly clean and still overflow if the downpipe is blocked. We check and clear all downpipes, using rods where needed to shift compacted debris. Downpipe shoes (the bend at the bottom near the drain) are a common blockage point and are often overlooked. We make sure the full system runs clear from gutter to drain.

Cracked gutters, loose brackets, leaking joints, and sagging sections all need fixing before the next heavy rain. We repair and replace individual sections of guttering, rehang brackets that have pulled away from the fascia, and seal leaking unions. If the entire system has reached the end of its life, we replace it in full with new PVC or aluminium guttering.

While we are up at gutter level, we check the condition of your fascia boards and soffits. Rotten fascia boards cannot hold gutter brackets securely, and damaged soffits allow birds, wasps, and moisture into the roof space. If we spot problems, we will let you know and can quote for repairs as part of our roofing services.

Lancing sits right on the coast, and properties here face conditions that accelerate gutter problems. Salt-laden air corrodes metal brackets and fixings faster than inland areas. Seagulls nest on rooflines and drop debris into gutters. Mature trees on residential streets shed leaves in autumn and blossom in spring, both of which clog downpipes. If you have not had your gutters checked in the last 12 months, the chances are they need clearing.
