Water spilling over the gutter, a downpipe that has stopped draining or grass sprouting along the roofline? We clear stubborn blockages on Leatherhead homes and get the rainwater moving again, safely and without fuss.
A blocked gutter is not just untidy. Once an outlet chokes, the run behind it fills like a trough, the weight drags on the brackets and every downpour sends water down your walls instead of into the drain. Our gutter clearing Leatherhead visits are aimed at exactly that situation: gutters that are already overflowing, have plants growing in them, or have been packed solid by a storm.
We start at the problem points. Outlets and downpipe tops are opened up first, then the compacted silt, matted leaves and root balls are broken out and removed with our high-reach vacuum, working from the ground up to around 12 metres. Where a blockage has set like clay we go up on a ladder and dig it out by hand. Downpipes are then cleared from the bottom upwards until water runs straight through. If your gutters have mesh or brush guards that have trapped the debris instead of keeping it out, we take them off, clear the channel beneath and put them back. It is a focused fix for gutters that have stopped working, rather than a light seasonal tidy.
When heavy rain sweeps across the North Downs, the slopes above Leatherhead send it down fast, and gutters on houses facing the hills take the full force. If an outlet is already half closed, a single cloudburst can be enough to tip the whole run over the edge. The River Mole valley adds to the problem by keeping the air damp, so moss on roofs grows thick and slides into gutters in lumps that wedge in outlets like corks.
Then there is the tree cover. Large gardens around Givons Grove, the lanes towards Headley and the roads that back onto woodland near Leatherhead Golf Club collect a steady fall of oak leaves, beech mast and conifer needles. Left alone, that mix rots down into a dark compost in which grasses and even small saplings happily root. We regularly find buddleia and sycamore seedlings growing out of gutters in KT22, and their roots can push joints apart.
Some homes are simply harder to keep clear. Terraces near Leatherhead station often share long, continuous runs where a blockage next door backs water into your section, while bungalows and chalet-style houses have deep valleys that funnel debris into one corner. Flats and three-storey townhouses on newer developments can go years without anyone looking at the gutters at all. Whatever the cause, we work through the blockage until water flows freely again.
Blockages need a slightly different approach to a routine clean, and this is the order we tackle them in.
From your photos and a look on arrival, we pinpoint where water is overflowing and which outlets or downpipes have stopped draining, so those get dealt with first.
Compacted silt, moss plugs and rooted plants are loosened and lifted out by vacuum or by hand. Any gutter guards in the way are carefully removed and set aside.
Each downpipe is cleared from the ground upwards until it runs freely. If the restriction is below ground in the drain, we confirm that and let you know.
Guards go back on, water is poured through the system to show it drains, and we tidy up before sending you photos of the cleared gutters.

Blockages tend to announce themselves during rain. Next time it pours, take a walk around the outside of the house with an umbrella and watch for any of the following:
Clearing the blockage promptly helps prevent damp walls, protects the fascia boards behind the gutter and saves the brackets from being bent out of shape by the weight of standing water.
Because blocked gutters vary so much from house to house, we quote each job from photos of the actual property rather than a standard rate. The price will depend on:
WhatsApp, text or email your address and a few photos and we will send a clear, no-obligation price.
Gutter cleaning is regular maintenance on a system that is still mostly working. Clearing is for gutters that have already blocked, are overflowing or have plants growing in them. It usually involves more hand work, breaking out compacted outlets and unblocking downpipes before the rest of the run is emptied.
We clear downpipes from ground level up to the gutter, which sorts out most problems. If the blockage is in the underground drain the pipe feeds into, that falls outside what we do and needs a drainage specialist. We will tell you clearly if that is the case.
We can, although on a shared run a blockage on the neighbouring side can still back water up into yours. If your neighbours are happy, clearing the whole run at the same visit usually gives the best result, and we can quote each household separately.
Yes. Mesh, brush and foam guards often end up holding debris on top or letting fine silt build up underneath. We lift them out, clear the gutter below and refit them. We have done this on aluminium guard systems too, so it is a familiar job.
After big storms demand rises across Surrey, so we cannot promise an exact time. Send us photos of the overflowing gutter straight away and we will usually reply with a quote the same day and offer the earliest slot we have in the Leatherhead area.
They can. Roots hold moisture against the gutter, push joints and brackets apart and trap even more debris. On homes near the wooded edges of Leatherhead we often find seedlings that have been growing for a couple of seasons, so it is worth removing them before they get established.
