Gutter cleaning in Marlow
Riverside trees and damp air keep gutters wet and blocked, rotting fascias if left. Parapet gutters need checking at the same time.

What should Marlow homeowners know?
The High Street, West Street and St Peter Street hold Georgian and older buildings with clay tiles and slate, plenty of them listed. Victorian and Edwardian villas around the centre use Welsh slate and plain clay tiles. Large interwar and modern detached homes fill the hillsides towards Marlow Bottom and the riverside roads.
What goes wrong on Marlow roofs?
Damp river air. The Thames keeps the air damp, speeding moss growth and rot at fascias and eaves.
Hidden parapet gutters. Georgian buildings often hide lead or felt gutters behind parapets that block and leak into the top floor.
Nail sickness on Victorian slate. Slate villas around the centre are at the age where iron nails fail and slates slip in patterns.
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 Marlow: FAQs
Can you repair the parapet gutter on my Georgian house?
Yes. We clear and inspect it, and renew the lead or lining where it has failed.
Is moss worse near the river?
Often, yes. Damp air helps it grow. Biocide after cleaning slows it down.
