Gutter clearance in Pontyates

Pontyates sits on the Gwendraeth Fawr, between Kidwelly and Pontyberem. Like the rest of the valley it grew up around coal, so there are rows of terraces on the valley sides, with bungalows and newer homes round the edges and bigger rural plots out towards Meinciau and Carway.

Plenty of homes in Pontyates sit near trees and hedgerows, and autumn leaves plus moss off the roof are what block gutters in the valley. With the rain the Gwendraeth valley gets, an overflowing gutter soon shows up as damp on the inside walls.

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.
