Keeping your gutters clean is one of the simplest ways to protect your home in
Salisbury from leaks, damp and expensive water damage. But how often should you actually
book a gutter cleaning service?

Why gutter cleaning matters

Over time, gutters fill up with leaves, moss, twigs and general debris. When they become blocked, rainwater can
no longer flow freely through the system. Instead, it overflows and runs down your walls, causing:

• Damp patches inside your home
• Mould and mildew around ceilings and walls
• Staining and damage to exterior brickwork and render
• Rotting fascias, soffits and roof timbers

Regular gutter cleaning in Salisbury prevents these issues and extends the life of your
guttering system.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

As a general rule, most properties should have their gutters cleaned at least
once a year, usually in late autumn after the majority of leaves have fallen. However, you may
benefit from twice-yearly cleaning if:

• You live close to trees or woodland
• Your roof collects a lot of moss
• You’ve had problems with blocked gutters before
• Your property is exposed to strong winds that blow debris onto the roof

Signs your gutters need cleaning now

Not sure whether your gutters are due a clean? Look out for these tell-tale signs:

• Water overflowing from gutters during rainfall
• Green or black streaks on exterior walls
• Visible plants or grass growing in the gutters
• Damp or mould patches on internal walls or ceilings

Protect your Salisbury home

Regular gutter cleaning is a small, affordable job that prevents far more serious problems. If you’re unsure when
your gutters were last cleaned, it’s usually a good idea to get them checked.
