When the gutter at the back of the house turns into a waterfall every time it rains, something is stuck. We find the blockage, dig it out and get your Ashford gutters and downpipes draining freely again.
An overflowing gutter is rarely full along its whole length. More often there is one stubborn plug: a wad of wet leaves wedged in an outlet, a tennis ball lodged in a bend, a nest on top of a downpipe or a strip of moss that has slid off the roof and set hard. Our gutter clearing in Ashford service is built around tracking down that plug and removing it, then making sure nothing else further down the system is holding water back.
We start from the ground, vacuuming loose material out of the affected run so we can see what is underneath. Downpipes get rodded from the shoe upwards while the vacuum pulls from above, which shifts most jams without dismantling anything. Grass and weeds that have rooted in the gutter are pulled out complete with their soil, rather than snapped off at the top to regrow. If you have mesh, foam or brush guards, they are lifted out, the gutter below is cleared and the guards are put back. Where it is safe, ladder access is used to finish off compacted sections by hand.
Many Ashford homes date from the 1920s and 1930s, when semi-detached houses with hipped roofs, front bays and small canopies over the door spread out from the station. Those roofs funnel water to a handful of outlets, often at the corners, and the downpipes usually have a tight swan-neck where they step back from the eaves to the wall. That bend is where leaves and moss most often jam. On bay-fronted houses the little gutter over the bay is also a frequent culprit, quietly blocking and dripping onto the window below.
Gardens in TW15 tend to be long and narrow, with fruit trees, sycamores and conifer hedges at the bottom, and those drop seeds, needles and blossom straight into rear gutters. The town also has plenty of pigeons, starlings and house sparrows, which pack nesting material into gaps under the tiles and on top of downpipes in spring. Children’s balls and shuttlecocks lodged in gutters are more common than you might think in family streets.
Ashford’s flat, open position between the Queen Mary Reservoir and Heathrow means summer cloudbursts can be heavy, and an outlet that is only half open will be overwhelmed almost immediately. We clear gutters throughout TW15, from the streets around the station and Church Road to the roads near Fordbridge Park and the Ashford Common side of town.
Each clearing job follows the same logical order, so nothing is missed.
Send pictures of the overflowing section and the stained wall or soggy flower bed beneath it. A clip filmed during rain is even better, as it shows us exactly where the water escapes.
On site we vacuum loose debris first, then look along the run with a pole camera and test each outlet in turn until we know where the obstruction actually sits.
Compacted silt is dug out, roots pulled and downpipes rodded upwards from the bottom. Guards are lifted and refitted, and any rubbish is bagged rather than dropped in the garden.
We pour water into the gutter and watch it run through the outlet and out at the shoe, so you can be confident the overflow is fixed before we pack up.

A blocked gutter behaves differently from one that is simply due a routine clean. These are the clues that something is actually stuck somewhere in the system:
Blockages tend to get worse, not better, as more debris settles behind them. Clearing them early on saves needless strain on brackets and avoids water soaking into brickwork or running behind fascias.
A clearing job is priced according to what is causing the blockage and how much of the system it affects. One choked outlet on a bungalow is quicker than several jammed downpipes on a three-storey house. Gutter guards that need lifting and refitting add time, as do established weeds with roots down into the outlet. We also look at access, such as narrow side passages common on Ashford semis. Send photos of the problem and the wider roofline and we will usually reply the same day with a fixed price.
Yes, this is very common on Ashford’s 1930s bay-fronted semis. The small bay gutter often has a single narrow outlet that clogs with leaves and moss. We clear it from the ground, check the outlet and downpipe and make sure the water drains away rather than dripping onto the window.
Usually there is a blockage below that point, so water backs up and forces its way out of a joint. We clear the pipe from the bottom up, and if the joint has been pushed apart we can refit or replace it on the same visit.
Yes. Grass, buddleia and even small tree seedlings can take root in a neglected gutter. We pull them out with their roots and the soil they are growing in, so they do not simply grow back from what is left.
We will. Guards stop larger leaves but fine debris and moss collect underneath, so we lift them out, clear the gutter properly and refit them securely. We have previously done the same job with aluminium guards on a larger property, so most types fitted to Ashford homes are no problem.
It is a good idea to let your neighbour know, especially if we need access from their side. We only clear the parts of the system on your property unless your neighbour also wants to book, in which case we can do both together.
No, we deal with gutters and downpipes down to ground level. If the gully or drain beneath is blocked, you will need a drainage specialist with jetting kit. We will show you what we found to help explain the issue to them.
