Gutter Cleaning & Maintenance FAQs

Common questions about gutter repairs, roof moss removal, and drainage services in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.

How often should I have my gutters cleaned in Buckinghamshire?

We recommend a professional clearance at least twice a year—once in the spring and once in late autumn. However, if your property in Amersham, Beaconsfield, or the surrounding wooded areas has overhanging trees, you may require more frequent visits to prevent blockages from falling leaves and twigs.

​

What are the signs that my gutters need urgent repair?

Look out for water overflowing during rain, sagging gutter sections, or damp patches on your external walls. If you notice "dripping" between joints, it usually means a seal has perished. Our team can quickly perform a Gutter Repair and a Water Flow Check to ensure the system is watertight.

​

Can I clean my gutters myself?

We strongly advise against DIY gutter cleaning due to the significant risk of falls from height. At Gurrs Gutters, we are fully insured and trained in ladder safety and high-access plant hire. Additionally, a professional can spot underlying issues like rotten fascias or warped brackets that an untrained eye might miss.

​

What happens if I ignore my blocked gutters?

Ignoring blockages can lead to expensive structural damage. Overflowing water can erode your home's foundations, cause basement flooding, and lead to internal damp and mould. Regular maintenance is a small investment that protects your property's long-term value.

​

How much does gutter cleaning cost in the Amersham area?

Do you clear blocked downpipes and drains as well?
