Gutter cleaning in Rickmansworth
Low-lying roads near the rivers and the Aquadrome get leaf-heavy gutters, and many Metroland houses have small bay gutters that block quickly and overflow onto the window below.

What should Rickmansworth homeowners know?
The High Street and Church Street have Georgian and Victorian buildings, some older, under slate and clay tile. The Metropolitan Railway encouraged Metroland estates in the 1920s and 30s, giving Rickmansworth its hipped plain-tile semis and detached houses with tile-hung bays. Mill End and Croxley borders add post-war housing with concrete tiles.
What goes wrong on Rickmansworth roofs?
Metroland tile bays. Tile-hung bay windows and their small roofs leak at the lead and lose tiles long before the main roof.
River valley damp. Low-lying roads near the Colne, Chess and Gade stay damp, which speeds moss and timber rot at the eaves.
Original 1930s felt. Bitumen felt from the 1930s is often brittle and torn at the eaves, letting water onto the fascia.
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 Rickmansworth: FAQs
My 1930s Rickmansworth semi has a leaking bay. Can you fix just that?
Yes. Bay roofs are a common separate repair: new lead, refixed tiles and a sound flashing to the main wall.
Do you work in Moor Park?
Yes, and we take the conservation-area and estate requirements into account before proposing any changes.
