Keeping on top of your roof's health and gutters is a crucial aspect of maintaining and improving your home. Regular checks roof washing and routine upkeep will not only keep your property safe from the elements, but also help protect the structure from potential destruction.

Gutters could be hidden from view, but they shouldn't be ignored. For more details, refer to our guide to gutters.

What exactly is gutter cleaning?

Guttering and guttering are designed to take rainwater away from homes and direct it to the drainage system. Gutters and roofs aren't meant to keep dry water for extended periods.

A buildup of debris can stop gutters from being able to drain rainwater effectively and can lead to expensive and inexplicably costly property destruction.

Why do gutters get blocked?

A mix of debris that has fallen, like leaves, twigs, or tile debris, can lead to blockages.

Plants? Gutter gardens are much more widespread than you imagine.

The leaves and moss will in the end become fertile peat that can be used to make compost for seeds that fly or spores. If you've got the ideal conditions to grow, plenty of rainwater and plenty of sunlight, your downpipe will be blocked by deeply roots plants.

Oh, and then there's roof moss to be considered as well as as if high level weeding was not enough to be concerned about.

What's the reason why that moss is growing on your roof?

Algae and lichens as well as moss flourish in humid, dark, and shaded areas. The harsh climate of the UK gives the perfect conditions for growth. Shaded roofs with windows facing north and chimney stacks that face towards the sun can shade the sun, preventing rain from drying the soil, which allows the growth of moss.

Droplets of water that stick to roof tiles' edges provide a safe space to encourage moss growth. In a matter of minutes that moss spore has grown and covers the edge of the tile, and left unchecked, just keeps on growing... acting like a sponge, moss absorbs water, stopping tiles from drying out.

How do I know when my gutters have become clogged?

If you notice obvious obstructions, there will be signs of plant growth growing over the gutters. During rainstorms the water may spill over the gutter edges. This could indicate that there's an overhead issue. Other signs to look out for are leaking, sagging or a build-up of algae around the joints or around the side of the building. If you're walking around, take a be sure to look up instead of down.

The unpleasant moss crumbs which fall onto your driveway or patio are getting swept into your gutters.
