Home›Gutter Clearing›Hersham
When your gutters have stopped draining, we get them flowing again. Hersham homeowners call us for packed outlets, plants sprouting along the roofline, downpipes that back up and gutters overflowing after storms.
There is a big difference between a gutter that needs a tidy and one that has stopped working altogether. If water is pouring over the edge, a downpipe stays dry in a downpour or you can see grass and seedlings growing out of the roofline, the system is blocked and needs clearing rather than a light clean. Our gutter clearing in Hersham deals with those stubborn situations, from a single choked outlet to an entire house where the gutters have been left for years.
We begin by tracing where the water is getting stuck, then loosen and lift out the compacted material with a high-reach gutter vacuum operated from the ground, with up to 12 metres of reach. Where debris has hardened into a solid plug, or roots have wrapped around an outlet, we use safe ladder access and clear it by hand. Downpipes are unblocked from ground level upwards so the water has a clear path down. If you have gutter guards or brushes fitted, we take them out, clear what has collected beneath them and put them back.
Most of the blockages we clear in Hersham start with trees. The village is ringed by greenery, from the willows and alders along the River Mole to the oaks and Scots pines around Burhill Golf Club and the wooded plots of Burwood Park. Pine needles are especially troublesome: they slip into the gutter, knit together and trap silt, forming a dense mat that slows water to a trickle. Add a few autumns of oak leaves and the outlet ends up sealed shut.
Hersham’s mix of housing also plays a part. Older cottages and terraces near the village green often have shallow half-round gutters with a single downpipe at one end, so one blocked outlet means the entire run overflows. Many of the inter-war and post-war homes have long gutters with offset swan necks, which is exactly where compacted debris lodges. In Whiteley Village and other properties surrounded by mature gardens, we often find gutters that have quietly filled with moss washed down from the roof tiles.
Weather matters too. The low land beside the Mole is often damp, so the debris in a neglected gutter stays wet, rots down and turns into a rich soil that weeds and even small trees will root in. After a stormy spell, overflowing gutters in KT12 are among the most common calls we receive. We clear gutters right across Hersham, from the station side of the village to the roads bordering Esher and Walton.
Clearing a heavily blocked system takes patience and the right tools, and these are the steps we follow.
Your photos, along with a look from the ground on arrival, show us where water is overflowing, which outlets are sealed and whether any downpipe has stopped draining completely.
We loosen and vacuum out packed silt, needles and rotting leaves, then climb to pull out rooted plants by hand so nothing is left to regrow in the gutter.
Each downpipe, swan neck and hopper is cleared from ground level upwards, then water is run through the gutter to prove it now drains away properly.
You get a quick summary of the work, photos showing the gutters before and after, and a note of any joints or brackets that were strained by the weight.

A gutter that still drains slowly can usually wait for its annual clean. These signs point to a blockage that should be cleared sooner rather than later:
Leaving a blockage over winter adds weight that can pull brackets loose and soak the fascia behind. Clearing it promptly protects the rest of the system and the walls below, and it usually costs far less than putting right the damage a stubborn overflow can cause.
A neglected gutter takes longer to clear than one that is cleaned every year, so we price each clearance on its condition. The main factors are:

Needles are thin enough to slip into gutters and downpipes but long enough to interlock once inside. They trap silt and moss, forming a dense mat that holds water. Homes near Burhill and in Burwood Park often have pines nearby, so gutters there can block surprisingly quickly.
Yes. Guards often trap leaves on top while finer debris collects underneath, so water spills over the edge. We carefully remove mesh, brush or aluminium guards, clear the gutter beneath, clean the guards and refit them, so they work as they were meant to.
Yes. We pull weeds, grass and seedlings out by hand with their roots, then clear the soil they were growing in. Leaving the roots behind means the plant simply grows back. If the roots have damaged a joint, we can usually replace it on the same visit.
Very much so. Many of those cottages have small gutters and only one downpipe per side, so even a modest blockage causes overflowing. Water spilling onto older brickwork and soft lime mortar can lead to damp inside. A clearance protects the walls and keeps the cottage dry.
No. We clear gutters and downpipes from ground level upwards. If water still backs up after that, the blockage is likely to be in the underground drain, which needs a drainage specialist with jetting or camera equipment. We will let you know if we think that is the case.
Yes. Storms and autumn winds often bring down a lot of debris in one go, leading to sudden overflows. Send us photos and your address, and we will quote and book you in as soon as we can. Quotes are usually sent the same day, including evenings and weekends.
