We normally recommend people get their gutters cleared annually and washed only when they feel they need it or want it (every 2/3 years maybe) but this usually depends on what is surrounding the property such as trees or train tracks. Properties surrounded by trees or exposed to higher levels of debris may require more frequent cleaning.

Blockages, damage to the roof, leaks and damage to your property in general such as damp and obviously damage to the gutters themselves which may require repair or replacement.

If you notice water overflowing from your gutters, it is most likely a sign they are blocked and need a good clean out. Also if you notice moss and debris on the floor beneath the gutters that could be a sign they are blocked.

If in doubt get a professional gutter cleaning company to inspect them as they can diagnose the any problems you are having and come up with the best and safest solution.

I always get up on the ladder and clear them by hand as long as the job is safe to do so, if there are obstacles such a conservatory along the whole of the property where we wouldn’t safely be able to get ladders, we would use a gutter vacuum.
