Keep rainwater flowing away from your home
Gutters have one job: to carry rainwater off the roof and safely away from your walls and foundations. When they fill with leaves, moss and debris, that water has nowhere to go. It spills down the walls, soaks into the brickwork and rots the timber behind your fascias. Regular gutter cleaning is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to protect your property from damp and costly repairs.
At Dexters Build we offer professional gutter cleaning, clearing and repair for homes and businesses across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, including Leighton Buzzard, Luton, Dunstable, Bedford, Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas. We are a family-run business with over 10 years' experience, every job is backed by fully guaranteed workmanship, and every quote is free with no obligation.
Why blocked gutters cause real damage
A blocked gutter is easy to ignore until the damage shows up inside or on the walls. By then the repairs are far more expensive than a simple clear-out would have been. Overflowing gutters lead to a chain of problems.
- Damp walls and interior staining. Water running down the wall instead of through the downpipe soaks into the brickwork and shows up as damp patches inside.
- Rotten fascias and soffits. Constant overflow saturates the timber behind the gutter. If yours have already suffered, our fascias and soffits service can replace them.
- Damaged foundations. Water pooling at the base of the wall undermines the foundations over time.
- Sagging and broken gutters. The weight of waterlogged debris pulls brackets loose and bends the guttering out of line.
What our gutter service includes
We do more than tip the leaves out. Every visit is a proper check of the whole rainwater system so that small problems are dealt with before they grow.
Clearing leaves, moss and debris
We remove leaves, moss, silt and any other debris from the full run of guttering, leaving it clear and free-flowing. We clear up after ourselves and take the waste away.
Downpipe checks
A clear gutter is no use if the downpipe is blocked further down. We check and flush the downpipes so water drains away properly all the way to the ground.
Minor repairs
While we are up there we check the brackets, joints and seals. We can refasten loose sections, reseal leaking joints and replace small lengths on the spot. For larger jobs, full gutter replacement or new runs, see our guttering service.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
For most homes, once a year is enough to keep gutters working properly. If your property sits under or near trees, we would recommend twice a year, ideally in late autumn once the leaves have dropped and again in spring. Clearing them before winter is the single most useful thing you can do, as blocked gutters and heavy rain together are what cause most damp problems. We are happy to advise on the right schedule for your property.
