Gutter cleaning in Radlett
Big roofs shed a lot of water into long gutter runs. Leaves from large gardens block outlets and hoppers, and crown roofs often have internal outlets that need clearing too.

What should Radlett homeowners know?
Radlett grew around its station from the late 1800s. The roads either side of Watling Street are lined with large Edwardian and interwar detached houses under plain clay tiles with big hipped roofs and tall chimneys, many rebuilt or heavily extended. Modern replacement houses bring large concrete or clay tiled roofs, flat-roofed rear extensions, crown roofs and roof lights.
What goes wrong on Radlett roofs?
Crown roof flat sections. The flat top of a crown roof is easy to forget until it leaks. Felt there often fails long before the tiled slopes.
Old roof meets new extension. Junctions between original plain-tile roofs and later extensions are where leaks start.
Long hips and ridges. Big hipped roofs have long runs of mortar-bedded hips that loosen over time.
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 Radlett: FAQs
My Radlett house has a crown roof. Can you repair the flat part?
Yes. We re-cover crown roof flats in EPDM, torch-on felt or GRP and make sure the tiled slopes and flat section are properly joined.
Can you survey a large roof without scaffolding?
The roof's height, condition and access determine whether scaffolding or another safe access arrangement is needed.
