WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO CLEAN YOUR
Keeping your gutters clean is one of the simplest ways to protect your home from damp, leaks, and costly repairs. But when is the best time of year to clean your gutters?
The answer can depend on your property, the trees nearby, and the weather. However, if any of the situations below sound familiar, it's time to contact HPM Cleaning - your trusted gutter cleaning specialists in Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley and surrounding areas. We'll inspect your gutters, and if they're already clear, there's no charge!
1. RAINWATER OVERFLOWING
If you see rainwater overflowing from your gutters, it's a clear sign they're blocked. Leaves, moss, and debris can stop water from flowing properly and cause leaks or damp patches around your home. At HPM Cleaning, we use a professional, high-powered vacuum system to clear your gutters safely from the ground - no ladders, no mess. We'll also check your downpipes to ensure water can drain away freely. Acting quickly helps prevent long-term damage to your home and guttering.
2. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOUR LAST clean
If it's been more than two years since your gutters were last cleaned, it's time for a check-up. Even when you can't see any blockages, dirt and debris can accumulate and cause hidden issues. Our gutter cleaning service in Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley and surrounding areas will ensure everything is clear and flowing properly before any problems arise.
3.PLANTS growing in your gutters
You can see plants growing from your gutters, they're well overdue for a clean! During spring (March-April), damp conditions and sunlight make gutters the perfect place for plants to grow.
Unfortunately, roots can push gutter joints apart and cause leaks or overflows. We recommend professional gutter cleaning twice a year to keep your gutters free from growth and prevent damage. Contact HPM Cleaning to book your next clean and keep your gutters in great condition.
4. MOSS ON THE ROOF
If your roof has moss, chances are it's ending up in your gutters, too. Moss can easily cause blockages that prevent water from draining properly, leading to damp and water damage to your roofline, fascias, and walls. Our expert team can safely clear gutters and downpipes, ensuring smooth water flow and protecting your home's structure. If you've noticed moss on your roof, call HPM cleaning - we can inspect and clear your gutters at any time of year.
5. SIGNS OF DAMP AROUND THE HOME
Damp on walls or ceilings could be caused by several issues, including blocked gutters or downpipes. When gutters overflow, water can seep into brickwork and cause serious problems over time. We'll clean and inspect your gutter system to make sure it's not contributing to damp - and remember, if your gutters are already clear, you don't pay.
6. Surrounded by Trees
If your home is surrounded by trees, falling leaves and pine needles can quickly fill your gutters and downpipes. For properties like this, the best time to clean gutters is between October and December, after most leaves have fallen. For homes near evergreen trees, we recommend cleaning twice a year. We also advise avoiding gutter guards or "hedgehogs" - they often trap debris and make future cleaning more difficult.
7. Water Running Down the Outside of the Downpipe
If you notice water running down the outside of your downpipe, there may be a blockage inside. The HPM Cleaning team can safely clear any obstructions and make sure rainwater is flowing as it should.
