Home›Gutter Clearing›Shere
When rain spills over the eaves of your Shere home, something is stuck. We dig out compacted silt, pull weeds rooted in the gutter, free jammed hoppers and rod downpipes from the bottom so the water finally has somewhere to go.
A blocked gutter rarely announces itself until a heavy shower turns the eaves into a waterfall. By then, the trough is often holding a dense plug of beech leaves, moss and grit that has set almost like soil. Our gutter clearing in Shere is aimed squarely at that problem: we find exactly where the water is held up, break the obstruction apart and get the system draining before we pack away.
That might mean lifting out a tangle of grass and seedlings that have rooted along a back run, prising a wad of debris out of a cast iron hopper, or working a downpipe clear from its shoe upwards with rods and water. Gutter guards, brushes and mesh are taken off where they have trapped muck beneath them, cleaned and clipped back on. Our high-reach vacuum handles the loose material from ground level, up to about 12 metres high, and the stubborn sections are cleared by hand from a carefully placed ladder. Once everything runs, we pour water along the length to show you it is moving again.
Shere lies in a fold of the Tillingbourne valley with chalk downland rising steeply on one side and wooded greensand hills on the other. Beech hangers on the Downs drop a huge volume of leaves each November, and on blustery days these are carried well beyond the slopes and onto village roofs. In the woods towards Shere Heath and Hurtwood, pines and oaks add needles, catkins, acorns and twigs. Unlike a light dusting, this material arrives in quantity and packs tight against outlets within a single season.
Moisture keeps it all there. The river and the sheltered valley floor hold damp air for much of the winter, so leaves never really dry out and blow away. Instead they rot into a dark compost, ideal for grass, moss and even ash or sycamore seedlings to take hold. We often find small plants growing out of the gutters on outbuildings and barns, where nobody looks up for years at a time.
The older buildings add their own quirks. Many cottages have cast iron hoppers, swan-neck bends and long horizontal runs across dormers, and each change of direction is a spot where debris catches. After the big autumn storms, calls from the village often involve one particular corner overflowing while the rest of the roof seems fine. We clear blockages throughout GU5, from properties along the Tillingbourne in the village to homes in Gomshall, Albury and out along the lanes towards Peaslake.
Clearing a blockage is about finding where the water stops, then working outwards from that point.
Using your photos and a look from the ground, we work out whether the trouble lies in the trough, at an outlet, in a hopper or partway down a pipe, so effort goes where water is actually trapped.
Solid lumps of silt and moss are loosened, then the vacuum draws them away. Rooted weeds come out whole so they cannot regrow, and any guards are unclipped and set aside safely.
Starting at the base, we push rods up through the pipe and wash it through until clean water pours from the shoe. Bends and offsets get particular attention because they catch the most debris.
Guards go back on, a hose is run along the gutter to confirm a steady flow, and we tell you what caused the blockage plus anything else we noticed while up there.

Some symptoms point to a jam that a quick scoop will not shift. Call us if you notice any of these around your Shere property:
If the water backs up below ground level instead, the fault sits in the drain itself, and we will recommend a drainage specialist rather than guess.
A small blockage on a cottage porch is a very different job from a three-storey house with choked hoppers and guards on every run. We consider:
Snap the spot where rain escapes, plus each side of the roof, and a firm free figure normally lands in your inbox that day.
Usually the outlet or hopper nearest that spot is plugged, or a section has dropped slightly so water pools there. On older Shere cottages, a swan-neck bend just below the outlet is a common culprit. We clear the blockage and check the fall while we are up there.
Happily. Each clump comes away root and all, then the dark compost it was growing in gets sucked out by the vacuum. Leaving roots behind just means the plants come back, so we make sure the trough is properly bare before moving on.
We do. Mesh, foam inserts and brush guards often trap fine debris underneath. We take them off, clear the gutter, clean the guards and refit them. If a guard is causing more trouble than it prevents, we will say so honestly.
Yes. After gales sweep across the Downs, gutters around Shere can fill with twigs, small branches and leaf litter in one night. We clear the debris and look for brackets or joints that may have been knocked loose, letting you know if a repair is needed.
We clear downpipes from ground level up, but if the blockage is in the buried drain beneath, that is outside our equipment. We will confirm where the problem is so you can call a drainage company with the right tools.
Yes. Alongside the village itself we work in Gomshall, Albury, Peaslake and the farmhouses and cottages scattered along the lanes between them. Just send your address with the photos and we will confirm.
