Gutter cleaning in Gerrards Cross
Few roads fill gutters and valleys faster than those around the common. Yearly clearing after leaf fall stops water spilling into walls and eaves.

What should Gerrards Cross homeowners know?
Around the common and the Camp Road and Bulstrode areas, Edwardian and Arts and Crafts houses carry steep plain clay tile roofs, hips, dormers and tall chimneys. Interwar detached homes along Packhorse Road and the Austenwood area follow the same style. Many have been extended with large flat roofs or rebuilt with modern slate.
What goes wrong on Gerrards Cross roofs?
Valleys and dormers on complex roofs. Large houses with many hips, valleys and dormers have more junctions to leak, especially where old lead has split.
Plain tiles sliding on steep pitches. Interwar plain tiles hung on corroded nails start to slip, often in patches above dormers.
Tree cover over the common. Mature oaks and beeches drop leaves into valleys and gutters, causing overflow leaks.
How do we do gutter cleaning?
We clear gutters with a gutter vacuum, working from the ground where possible and to working-at-height rules where not. Because we are roofers, we also photograph the gutters and roof edge and tell you if anything needs attention.

Questions
Gutter cleaning in Gerrards Cross: FAQs
My house has lots of valleys and dormers. Where do leaks usually start?
Most often at lead valleys and dormer cheeks. We trace the water, photograph the cause and repair that junction properly.
Do I need consent to repair my roof near the common?
Like-for-like repairs normally do not. Changing materials can. We check with the council first if there is any doubt.
