Home›Gutter Clearing›Old Woking
Spilling gutters and silent downpipes sorted out for Old Woking homeowners. We hunt down the blockage, whether it is a sodden leaf plug, a clump of grass or a moss-stuffed swan neck, break it apart and get rainwater moving again.
An overflowing gutter is a symptom, not the problem. Somewhere along the run, something is stopping rain getting away: perhaps a cake of rotted leaves sealing the outlet, a tuft of grass with roots knitted through the silt, or a wad of moss jammed at the bend of a downpipe. Our gutter clearing in Old Woking finds that obstruction and removes it, rather than giving the gutter a quick once-over and hoping for the best.
Soft, loose debris is drawn out by a powerful vacuum on extending poles that reach about 12 metres from the ground. Where material has dried into a solid crust, it is prised loose and lifted out by hand from a firmly footed ladder. Downpipes are cleared starting at the bottom and working up, so the blockage is pushed out rather than packed tighter. Mesh, foam or brush guards are taken out, emptied and slotted back in. And if a pipe runs freely but the water still backs up underground, we will say so plainly, because a buried drain is a job for a drainage specialist.
Old Woking grew up where the River Wey and the Hoe Stream meet open meadow, and trees still crowd the water’s edge. Crack willow, white poplar and alder are common along the banks near Broadmead and around St Peter’s Church, and their leaves are small and soft enough to slip past gutter guards and settle into a dense mat. In late spring, poplar and willow fluff adds a cotton-like layer that holds water like a sponge and helps everything stick together.
Gardens in Kingfield and Westfield often have their own mature sycamores, ash and fruit trees. Sycamore keys and ash seeds spin straight into gutters and can sprout within weeks, so by summer you may see a row of seedlings along the eaves. Interwar and post-war houses in these areas frequently have rear gutters running behind extensions and over kitchens, where blockages go unnoticed until water starts pouring past the back door.
The oldest buildings near the High Street conservation area present a different challenge. Cast iron hoppers, tight swan necks and narrow downpipes on period cottages block easily and can be awkward to reach, and a hidden valley gutter between two roof slopes can fill without anyone seeing it. We clear blocked gutters throughout the GU22 part of Old Woking, including Kingfield, Westfield and Hoe Bridge, and also cover Send, Mayford and Sutton Green.
Clearing is detective work first and muscle second, which is why we start by finding the source.
A quick clip or a couple of stills of the overflowing spot, sent with your Old Woking postcode, usually reveals whether we are looking at a clogged trough, a sealed outlet or a stuffed pipe.
We follow the run from the overflow back to the outlet, check hoppers and swan necks, and look under any guards to pinpoint exactly what is holding the water.
Hardened silt is broken by hand, rooted plants pulled out whole and the loosened mess vacuumed away. Pipes are cleared upwards until the bore is open from top to bottom.
We tip water into the cleared section and follow it all the way to the gully. Guards are refitted, waste is bagged up and you get a quick rundown of what caused the trouble.

Dirty gutters and blocked gutters are not the same thing. These signs point to an actual obstruction that needs clearing soon:
Acting early stops overflow from saturating walls, damaging pointing and creeping into the house.
There is no flat rate; the price matches the effort involved in your particular blockage, judged on:
A couple of photos and a description of where the water spills are usually all we need for a fixed price on the same day.
The riverside willows, poplars and alders shed small, soft leaves and seed fluff over many months. That material slides past guards and compacts around outlets into a spongy plug. Homes near Broadmead and the Hoe Stream benefit from clearing before winter and checking again in early summer.
Yes. We clear hoppers and swan necks by hand and work through the downpipe from the bottom up, taking care not to stress old joints. If we find cracks or heavy corrosion while clearing, we will photograph them and let you know.
Guards often become a blockage in their own right once debris settles on top. We remove them, clear the gutter beneath, wash the guards off and fit them back securely, so they go back to doing their job.
It is worth sorting quickly. Persistent overflow at the rear of a house can soak walls, damage the fascia and splash against doors and windows. Send us a photo and we will advise and arrange a visit as soon as we can.
Our work covers everything above the ground, from gutter troughs down to the base of each pipe. If the downpipe is clear but water backs up from the drain below ground, you will need a drainage specialist with camera and jetting equipment, and we will tell you so straight away.
Yes, and many people do. While we are freeing the blocked section, the rest of the gutters can be emptied too, so you are not left with another blockage forming further along the run in a few months.
