Gutters cleared of leaves and debris - water flowing properly, downpipes clear, property protected from damp and overflow damage.
### Prevent Expensive Damp Problems
Blocked gutters don't just overflow - they cause **damp penetration that costs thousands to fix**. Water gets into walls, ceilings, causes mould, damages decoration.
Prevention is massively cheaper than cure. Annual gutter clearing costs £100-150. Damp repairs? Try £2000+.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Sidmouth's older rental properties are particularly vulnerable to damp. Clear gutters regularly and you'll avoid most water ingress problems. Your tenants will thank you too.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Regular maintenance?** If you've got multiple rental properties, I can set up annual gutter clearing rounds. Schedule them all in autumn, get them done efficiently, one invoice. **Best time to clear:** Autumn after leaves have fallen (October/November). Before winter wet weather when you really need gutters working properly. **Gutter guards worth it?** For properties with lots of overhanging trees, yes. Initial cost but saves annual clearing. I can advise and fit them. **Found damage?** If I spot leaking joints, damaged sections, or brackets coming loose, I'll quote for repairs. Better to fix before it causes damp damage.
Frequently Asked Questions about Gutter clear rental in Sidmouth
Why do rental properties need gutters clearing?
Blocked gutters overflow and cause damp penetration, which damages the property and costs serious money to fix. Regular clearing (usually annually) prevents problems before they start. Much cheaper than repairing damp damage to walls and ceilings.
How often should rental property gutters be cleared?
Most properties need clearing once a year, usually autumn after leaves have fallen. Properties near lots of trees might need it twice yearly. I'll advise after seeing your property and how bad the blockage is.
How much does gutter clearing cost?
Depends on property size and height. Small terraced house might be £85-110, average semi or detached £110-135, larger property or difficult access more. I'll quote after seeing the property and access situation.
Can you clear gutters on a 3-storey property?
Yes, I've got ladders and equipment for most domestic properties. Really high or difficult access sometimes needs specialist equipment. I'll let you know if it's beyond what I can safely do and arrange specialists if needed.
What if the gutters are damaged or leaking?
I'll let you know during the clear if I spot damage, leaks, or sections that need replacing. Can quote for repairs separately. Better to know now than discover it when the ceiling's leaking.
