Home›Gutter Clearing›Reigate
Water cascading off the eaves, weeds sprouting along the roofline or a downpipe that has stopped draining? We unblock Reigate gutters and pipes properly, digging out the compacted plug rather than skimming the top layer.
A gutter that overflows is rarely just full; usually there is a solid wedge of rotted leaves, roof grit and roots sitting over the outlet, acting like a cork. Our gutter clearing Reigate visits target exactly that problem. We break up and remove packed debris, pull out grass and seedlings that have taken hold, then work on each downpipe until water runs straight through to the ground again.
Most blockages are reached from the ground using a heavy-duty vacuum on extendable poles that go up to about 12 metres, so tall Victorian elevations and three-storey town houses are covered without anyone leaning on the gutter. Where a plug is set hard, such as at a swan-neck bend or in a box gutter behind a parapet, we bring in a ladder and clear it by hand. If you have mesh or brush gutter guards fitted, we lift them out, empty the silt that has gathered underneath, and refit them so they keep doing their job. You get a clear explanation of what caused the blockage, plus photos if you ask.
Blockages in Reigate tend to follow the seasons and the geography. When autumn gales sweep along the North Downs, leaves and twigs from the woods on Reigate Hill are hurled down onto rooftops in a matter of hours, and a gutter that was fine in September can be sealed solid by November. Sycamore keys and horse chestnut husks from the big street trees near Wray Common and around Priory Park are especially good at lodging in outlets and trapping everything behind them.
Many of the town’s older houses make blockages worse. Victorian and Edwardian homes around the conservation area often have valley gutters between roof slopes, hidden parapet gutters and narrow cast downpipes with tight bends, all of which jam more readily than a modern wide-bore system. On the sandier ground towards Reigate Heath, blown sand and pine needles mix with leaf mould to form a dense mat in which grasses and even small birch saplings root happily, holding water in the gutter all winter.
Left alone, that standing water spills down walls, soaks into mortar and can find its way through to bedroom ceilings. We clear blocked gutters across the whole RH2 district, from Woodhatch and South Park through the town centre to the roads beneath Colley Hill, and we often get calls straight after a stormy weekend on the hills.
The aim is simple: find the blockage, remove it completely and prove the water flows again.
Photograph the spot that spills, add shots of the remaining roofline and mention roughly when the trouble began. A quick video of the overflow in rain is a big help.
We trace the fault on arrival, checking the outlet, swan-neck and pipe joints so we know whether the gutter, the downpipe or both are choked.
Packed debris is loosened and vacuumed out, rooted weeds are pulled, any gutter guards are lifted and emptied, and the downpipe is rodded clear from the bottom up.
Water is run through the cleared section to confirm it drains freely. If an underground drain is the real culprit, we say so and leave it to a drainage specialist.

Some problems will not wait until your next routine clean. Get in touch if you spot any of the following around your Reigate home:
Clearing a blockage early prevents the rotten fascias, damp plaster and stained render that tend to follow a winter of overflowing water.
Blocked gutter jobs vary a lot, so we price each one from your photos rather than using a flat rate. The factors that make the most difference are:
Pictures by WhatsApp, SMS or email are all we need to set a fixed price, normally within the day.
Nearly always because the nearest outlet or downpipe is partly blocked, so water backs up and spills at the lowest point. It can also mean the run has dropped and lost its fall. We find out which it is on the visit and clear the blockage, then point out any alignment issue that might need a repair.
Yes, and we see it often around Reigate Heath and on houses shaded by the trees on Reigate Hill. Grass, moss and seedlings are pulled out by the roots along with the soil-like silt they grow in, so they do not simply regrow from what is left behind.
Valley and parapet gutters are common on period properties in central Reigate and they are a frequent source of leaks. We assess access on the day, using the vacuum where it reaches and safe ladder access where hand clearing is needed, and we will tell you honestly if anything is beyond safe reach.
Yes. Mesh and brush inserts keep out whole leaves, yet grit and seed husks still slip past and settle below them, eventually choking the run regardless. We remove the mesh or brushes, clear the run and outlet, then fit the guards back in position.
Gales along the North Downs often leave Reigate gutters choked overnight. Message us pictures the moment you see water spilling and we will squeeze you into the earliest free slot, with quotes usually given on the same day. A short video of the overflow helps us judge it.
Our work stops at ground level. We clear downpipes from the bottom upwards and confirm water reaches the gully, but blockages inside the buried drain need a drainage company with jetting and camera equipment. We will let you know if that is where the problem sits.
