Gutter care through the seasons

Why gutters matter

Gutters move large volumes of water away from walls and foundations. When they overflow, brickwork can become saturated and damp can appear inside.

Autumn and spring checks

Leaves, moss and debris build up after autumn and through winter. Checking gutters in autumn and spring is a sensible routine.

Signs of a problem

• Water spilling over the edge in rain
• Drips from joints
• Staining on walls below gutters
• Plants growing in gutters
