Gutter cleaning in Tring
Autumn leaf fall from the woods around Tring Park fills gutters fast, and small cottage gutters overflow onto flint walls that then stay damp.

What should Tring homeowners know?
The High Street and Akeman Street hold Georgian and older brick buildings under clay peg tiles. The Rothschild family built distinctive estate cottages with decorative timber and tall chimneys across the town and nearby villages. Victorian terraces near the centre are slated, and later estates towards Tring Station and Little Tring use concrete tiles.
What goes wrong on Tring roofs?
Ornate estate chimneys. Tall decorative stacks on the Rothschild cottages crack at the flaunching and lose their lead, causing damp on chimney breasts.
Exposure on the hill edge. Homes towards the Ridgeway catch strong westerlies, lifting verges and loose ridge tiles.
Peg tiles past their life. Old peg tile roofs in the centre slip as oak pegs and nails decay.
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 Tring: FAQs
Can you repair the chimneys on Rothschild estate cottages?
Yes. We rebuild flaunching, renew lead flashings and match the brick detail, checking with Dacorum first if a building is listed.
Why do my verge tiles keep coming off?
Exposure to wind off the hills. Re-bedding with the right mix, or a dry verge, usually stops it.
