Problem:

Debbie contacted us to prepare her property for an upcoming house move. The upper front and rear gutters were heavily clogged with an accumulation of moss and silt, which was weighing down the system and preventing proper drainage. Additionally, years of weather exposure had left the exterior surfaces coated in unsightly dirt and algae, impacting the overall kerb appeal just as the property was about to go on the market. While our initial inspection indicated that the aged system would eventually warrant a full replacement, that level of investment didn’t make sense given the upcoming relocation.

Solution:

We focused on delivering maximum immediate value and visual improvement without unnecessary expense. Our team manually cleared all moss and silt from the upper front and rear gutter runs, ensuring the channels and downpipes were fully open. Following the clearance, we performed a thorough wash of the exterior gutter surfaces to remove the built-up dirt and green algae, instantly freshening up the look of the roofline.

Challenges:

Accessing a specific section of the guttering proved challenging due to a mature tree blocking the approach. We carefully maneuvered our equipment around the branches to reach the affected area safely, ensuring every inch of the system was thoroughly serviced despite the restricted space.

Result:

The gutters are now clear, clean, and functioning correctly. Debbie was delighted with the refreshed appearance of the property and the honest, practical advice regarding the system’s age, saving her money while ensuring the house looked its best for potential buyers.
