Ask anyone who lives near Holt Copse or Wokingham's older tree-lined roads and they'll tell you autumn is when the gutters fill up. We clear them with a high-reach gutter vacuum operated from the ground, then check and unblock the downpipes so water can actually get away. While we're up there with the camera, we look for leaking joints, loose brackets and cracked sections, and we can reseal, refit or replace them on the same visit where possible. You get camera footage of the before and after, so you can see the inside of your Wokingham gutters without going up a ladder. We can also clean your fascias and soffits.
Why gutter cleaning matters in Wokingham
Wokingham has a lot of mature trees, many of them a legacy of the old Windsor Forest, and oak leaves, seed cases and twigs are exactly what blocks a gutter outlet. Once an outlet is blocked, rainwater spills over the front of the gutter, stains the brickwork and can soak into the ground beside the house. The town sits on London clay with sandier ground in places, and clay that stays wet doesn't drain well, so keeping roof water flowing into the drains is worth doing. Age matters too. Plenty of 1960s and 1970s homes in Norreys, Woosehill and Bean Oak still have their original plastic guttering, and after fifty years of sun the joints shrink and the brackets get brittle. On Wokingham's new-build estates the problem is different: building dust, sand and the odd bit of debris left by roofers often settle in gutters during the first few years.

Gutter Cleaning & Repairs in Wokingham — FAQs
When is the best time to have gutters cleaned in Wokingham?
For most Wokingham homes, late autumn or early winter works best, once the oaks and other large trees have dropped their leaves. If you have trees right over the roof, a second clean in spring can help. We'll show you the camera footage so you can judge how quickly yours fill up.
Can you repair the old plastic gutters on my 1970s house?
Often, yes. On many 1960s and 1970s Wokingham homes, the problems are leaking joints and tired brackets rather than the gutter itself. We can reseal joints, refit or add brackets and replace damaged sections. If the whole run is past saving, we'll tell you honestly.
Will I see what was done?
We can show you camera footage of the gutters before and after clearance.
How often should gutters be cleared?
Once a year for most homes, or twice if you have trees nearby.
