Gutter clearance in Cross Hands

Cross Hands sits on the crossroads of the A48 and the A476, with Gorslas, Cefneithin and Penygroes running into it. It's grown fast, with new housing estates going up next to the old mining terraces, and the Food Park and business park along the A48.

Modern uPVC gutters on the newer estates are lighter and shallower than old cast iron ones, so they block quicker, especially with moss washing off tiled roofs. A yearly clear keeps them flowing.

Autumn is the time to do it, once the leaves have dropped, so your gutters are clear before the winter rain. Spring is the second best time, to clear what the winter storms brought down.

What's included

Gutters cleared by hand

Leaves, moss, silt and nests scooped out by hand from the ladder, along every run.

Downpipes unblocked

Downpipes checked and cleared so water runs all the way down to the drain.

Flow checked

Water run through each section to make sure it drains rather than pooling.

Fascias and soffits

Fascias and soffits wiped down while we're up there, so the front looks clean too.

What gutter clearance doesn't include

Gutter repairs, replacement or new brackets. We'll point out problems, but we don't do roofing work.

How much does gutter clearance cost?

From £70 a house. Bigger houses, extensions, conservatories and awkward access cost more, and you get a fixed price in writing before we start.

How often should gutters be cleared?

Once a year for most homes, ideally in late autumn after the leaves have dropped. Houses near trees may need it twice a year.

Do you check for nesting birds?

Yes. Gutters are a favourite nesting spot. If there's an active nest, that section waits, because all nesting wild birds are protected by law.
