​

The blockages in your gutters are caused by a few things, usually leaves from nearby trees, and from moss that grows on your roof and washes down into your guttering. Unfortunately we often find dead animals blocking the gutters too, usually small birds. If when it's raining you notice water overflowing or trickling down the outside of the downpipes or walls then this a great indication that your gutters could do with cleaning out.

​

Another cause of damp in your home is broken or leaking gutter joints. This is where two pieces of gutter are joined together using a union joint, or where the gutters join around the corner. They become broken for many reasons, most commonly because of the age, the rubber seals in the joints wear away over time allowing water to leak through. Also if the joint has been previously incorrectly fitted then it can pop out, again causing a leak. Our Chelmsford gutter specialists can help with all these issues.
