GENERAL QUESTIONS
The frequency of gutter cleaning depends on various factors, including the type of roof tile and the presence of foliage around your property. Generally, if you have large trees nearby, an annual gutter cleaning is recommended. If dense vegetation surrounds your home or building, biannual cleaning is advisable to prevent clogging and potential water damage.
Additionally, if your roof has a sand-based tile, degradation over time can lead to a buildup of sand in the gutters, promoting the growth of vegetation and causing potential blockages.
Gutter leaks can stem from various issues. Firstly, improper installation or incorrect gutter slope can lead to overflow or water pooling, especially if water runs away from the downpipe. Additionally, impacts from ladders, vehicles, or other objects can cause damage to the gutters.
If your gutter overflows near the downpipe, it’s likely blocked and requires cleaning. Blockages often occur at the swan neck (upper bend close to the roof) or ground level where the gutter meets the drain.

UPVC gutters typically last 25-35 years before rubber seals degrade and plastic becomes brittle. Cast iron gutters, if installed correctly, can last over 100 years with proper maintenance.
Leaking in multiple places may signal the need for new gutters, as temporary fixes like sealants may only last a year or two.
