Gutter cleaning in Northwood

Few areas fill gutters faster than Northwood in autumn. Valleys and cast iron gutters on Edwardian houses need yearly clearing to avoid overflow into the walls.

What should Northwood homeowners know?

The Frithwood estate and roads around the station hold Edwardian and interwar detached houses under plain clay tiles, with tile hanging, half-timbered gables and tall chimneys. Northwood Hills, to the south, has 1930s semis with hipped roofs. Modern rebuilds and blocks of flats add large flat roofs.

What goes wrong on Northwood roofs?

Tile hanging and gables. Vertical tile hanging and timbered gables lose tiles and let water in behind the timber.

Steep roofs, old nails. Interwar plain tiles on steep pitches slide once their nails corrode.

Heavy tree cover. Northwood’s mature trees 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.
