Trusted Roof Repair & Installation Contractors in Farnham

We recommend that gutters should be cleared at least once per year. However, if your home is surrounded by trees or other overhanging foliage, leaves and other organic material will build-up in your gutters at a faster rate so more regular clearance is recommended.

We do not recommend using a leaf blower to clear your gutters. Although they can be quite effective for removing looser residue, albeit very messily sometimes, leaf blowers can easily force any debris into your downpipes, clogging them in the process. As a lot of the gutter debris is likely to be wet and sticky, a leaf blower is also unlikely to fully clear the gutters.

Kerbside appeal is the term used to describe the impression of the exterior of your house when walking past it. If your roofline is in a state of disrepair, it will be the first thing people will notice, meaning it has a direct effect on kerbside appeal. Therefore, to maximise the appearance of your home, your roofline needs to look its best.

They are essentially the same thing, although they are used in different ways. Whereas fascia boards sit behind the gutters and run horizontally, bargeboards are located at the gable-end of a property and run diagonally.

All of our seamless aluminium gutter outlets (where the water goes into the downpipe) have a built-in leaf trap, which is a great way to prevent leaves from accumulating in the downpipes.
