Gutters cleared completely of autumn leaves and debris before winter arrives. I remove everything blocking your gutters, clear downpipes, check for damage, and make sure water flows freely - protecting your property before months of Devon rain.
### Before Winter Dumps On It
Your gutters are **full of leaves**. You know they are. Trees went mental in October, dropped everything, and a good portion landed in your gutters.
Now we're heading into Devon winter - **months of relentless rain**.
Blocked gutters mean water overflows, runs down walls, saturates brickwork, finds its way into places it shouldn't. Eventually: damp problems, cracked render, rotten fascias.
All preventable with one autumn afternoon.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Tiverton's November-February rainfall is brutal. Clear gutters in autumn, they work properly all winter. Leave them blocked, you're asking for water damage.

### Why Autumn Matters Most
Because this is when gutters need clearing, right before they need to work hardest.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Clearing Ladder goes up, I work around the whole property clearing gutters completely. All leaves, moss, and crud come out. Messy job, but thorough beats quick. ### Step 2: Downpipes Each downpipe gets cleared - often they're blocked lower down where you can't see. I check water flows freely from roof to drain. Blocked downpipe means the whole gutter section backs up. ### Step 3: Final Check Quick inspection of gutter condition while I'm up there - brackets tight, joints sealed, no cracks developing. Then I test with water to confirm everything's flowing properly before coming down.

Good to Know
> 🌳 **Lots of trees?** Some properties need clearing twice yearly - autumn and late spring. If you're constantly fighting falling leaves, consider gutter guards (mesh that keeps leaves out while letting water in). I can advise if your property would benefit. **Combine with other work:** If you're getting autumn gutter clear, good time to also check roof condition, replace cracked tiles, check flashing. I'm already up there with ladder set up - efficient to deal with multiple jobs at once. **Older Exeter houses:** Original Victorian/Edwardian gutters are often cast iron - heavier than modern plastic, can pull away from fascia if they fill with wet leaves and moss. Autumn clearing prevents the weight damage that leads to expensive bracket replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions about Gutter autumn clear in Tiverton
Why autumn specifically for gutter clearing?
Because that's when they're full of leaves, right before winter rain arrives. Trees drop leaves October-November, they land in your gutters, then Devon winter dumps months of rain on them. Blocked gutters overflow, water runs down walls, eventually you get damp problems. Autumn clear prevents all that.
Can't I just clear them in spring instead?
You could, but then your gutters are blocked all winter when rainfall's heaviest. Water overflows all winter, runs down walls, saturates brickwork. By spring the damage is done. Autumn clear means gutters work properly when you actually need them most - winter.
What if I've got trees overhanging all year?
Then you probably need clearing twice - autumn and spring. Or gutter guards fitted. I'll tell you honestly if your gutters are fighting a losing battle with tree coverage. Some properties genuinely need 6-monthly clearing, others are once-a-year jobs.
Do you check for damage while you're up there?
Yes - I check brackets, joints, and overall condition. If something's coming loose or cracked, I'll let you know. Better to fix a bracket now than wait until gutter falls off in a storm and damages more than itself.
How long does a typical house take?
Average semi or detached is 2-3 hours including downpipes. Bungalows are quicker (easier access), terraced houses depend on how much gutter you've got. Big house with lots of roofline? Up to 4 hours. I'll estimate better when I know your property.
