Home›Gutter Clearing›East Clandon
When water is spilling over the edge or a downpipe has choked, East Clandon homeowners call us to dig out the blockage, pull up anything growing in the gutter and get the rain moving towards the drain again.
Emptying loose leaves is maintenance; shifting a proper obstruction is another job entirely: a wedge of rotted leaf litter, moss and grit that has set like clay at an outlet, a clump of grass with roots knitted into the silt, or a downpipe stuffed with a pigeon nest and a season of debris. Our gutter clearing in East Clandon is aimed squarely at those problems, the ones that make water pour down the front of the house every time it rains.
We begin with the powerful vacuum on long poles, which pulls out the loose top layer from the safety of the ground. Compacted material is then broken up and lifted by hand from a ladder, and weeds are drawn out by the root so they do not sprout again by summer. Downpipes are worked through with rods from the foot upwards and flushed until water gushes out of the bottom. If your gutters wear mesh, brush or aluminium guards, we unclip them, clear out the debris trapped beneath and put them back in place. If it turns out the real culprit is the drain under the ground, you will hear about it from us on the spot, since that falls to a drainage specialist.
Blocked gutters in East Clandon nearly always trace back to the trees. The parkland of Hatchlands, the copses along the A246 and the big hedgerow oaks beside the village lanes drop an enormous volume of leaves each October and November, and a wet autumn turns that layer into a dense paste within weeks. Sweet chestnut husks and beech mast are especially troublesome because they lodge in outlets and act like a plug for everything that follows.
Storms add another layer. When strong south-westerly winds come over the downs, they tear twigs and small branches from the trees and drop them straight into gutters, where they catch more leaves and form a dam. Many of the village’s older homes have cottage-style roofs with valleys and dormers, and these shed water and debris into a few short sections of gutter at high speed, so a single blocked outlet quickly leads to overflow down the wall. On listed and conservation-area buildings that overflow can stain soft brick and flint, soak lime mortar and rot old timber.
Birds and wildlife play a part too. Jackdaws nest in chimneys and drop sticks into the guttering, and moss from damp, shaded roofs collects in the low spots. We clear blocked gutters throughout East Clandon and GU4, from cottages near the church to farmhouses and converted barns out towards the surrounding fields.
A good result depends on tracing the obstruction to its source, taking every bit of it away and then demonstrating that rain can escape.
We look for overflow stains, wet walls and dry downpipes to pinpoint where the water is being held back, and confirm whether the trouble is in the gutter, the outlet or the pipe.
Loose and semi-loose debris is vacuumed away from the ground first, which takes most of the weight out of the gutter and shows us how deep the compacted layer goes.
Packed silt, roots and nesting material are removed by hand from a ladder, and any gutter guards are unclipped so the material trapped underneath can be cleared.
Each downpipe gets rods pushed up from the shoe, then a bucket of water chases them through; guards go back on and paths and borders are swept.

Obstructions usually give themselves away in a cloudburst. Spot any of these at an East Clandon home and it makes sense to arrange a visit ahead of the January storms:
Dealing with it early keeps water out of the walls, window frames and old timbers, which on a period home can be expensive to put right once rot or damp has taken hold.
An obstruction often means more hand work than an ordinary clean, so the photos you send help us judge the effort involved. Price depends chiefly on:
Close-ups of the trouble spots, plus a wider shot of the house, let us fix the cost, usually the day you send them.
A clean is regular maintenance that empties loose leaves before they cause trouble. Clearing is what happens when a blockage has already formed, with compacted silt, roots or nesting material stopping water at an outlet or inside a downpipe. It involves more hand work, rodding and flushing, and we always finish by checking the water flows.
Houses beside the park take a heavy share of leaf fall, so the gutters tend to block in late autumn. Clearing them once the leaves are down, then again in spring, usually keeps them running. Guards suit some roofs, though they too have to come off every so often for emptying.
Yes. Grass, moss cushions and even small saplings are common on older East Clandon roofs. Each one is eased out root and all, together with the bed of silt it was living in, instead of being snapped off at the top where it would simply regrow.
We do. Pipes are rodded upward from the bottom and flushed through, and hoppers and shoes are emptied too. Where the obstruction is further down, in a buried drain, we will describe what we found and point you towards a drainage contractor, as that is outside our scope.
Not at all. Grit and leaf mulch commonly slip beneath mesh and brush inserts, or pile up on top of them. We take the guards out, empty the trough underneath and fit them back as they were. Aluminium types take a little more patience, and we have dealt with those on previous jobs.
Get some pictures over to us the moment you notice the overflow and we will try to slot you in promptly. Storms in the Clandon area often bring down twigs and branches that dam a gutter, and clearing them promptly stops water running down the walls.
