Gutter cleaning in Sidmouth

### Your First Line of Defence

Gutters do one job - move rainwater away from your walls. **When they're blocked, water goes where it shouldn't** - down walls, into foundations, causing damage you'll pay for later.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Water staining on walls below gutters is the warning sign. Don't ignore it - the damage is ongoing every time it rains.
