Good to Know
> 🎨 **Frequency:** Annual autumn check is standard for properties with trees nearby. No trees? You might get away with checking every 2 years, but annual is safer and catches problems early. **Winter damage prevention:** Blocked gutters overflow and water runs down walls. In winter that water freezes, expands, and cracks render and brickwork. Autumn checks prevent expensive spring repairs. **Guard lifespan:** Gutter guards last 10-20 years typically, but fixings can work loose sooner. Annual checks catch failing fixings before guards fall into gutters and cause blockages themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions about Gutter guard autumn check in Newton Abbot
Why check gutter guards in autumn?
Autumn leaves pile up on guards and can cause blockages even with guards fitted. Also need checking they're still secure after summer - wind and weather can loosen fixings. Sort it before winter and you won't get ice damage from overflowing gutters.
Don't gutter guards stop blockages completely?
They help massively but don't eliminate maintenance. Small debris still gets through, and leaves pile up on top. Checking annually (usually autumn) keeps them working properly. Much less work than unguarded gutters though.
What do you do during the check?
Clear any debris off the guards, check they're still fixed securely, look for damage or gaps, flush water through to test drainage. Quick check that prevents winter problems.
How long does it take?
Usually 30-45 minutes for an average house. Get up on ladder, clear guards, check fixings, test drainage. Longer if there's lots of debris or guards need adjusting.
