Why Cobham gutters block so quickly
This is a very green corner of Surrey. Fairmile Common, part of the Esher Commons, has oak, beech, silver birch and Scots pine, and many gardens on the larger plots have big trees of their own. Pine needles are a particular nuisance: they knit together into a mat that holds water and lets moss grow inside the gutter. Birch seed and oak leaves add to it every autumn, and moss washed off roofs in wet weather finishes the job.
When gutters block, water spills over the front or back of the gutter and runs down the walls. On rendered homes and pale stonework that quickly shows up as green streaks, and on older brick it keeps the wall damp. In the worst cases water gets behind fascias or into the top of the wall, which is a much bigger job to put right.
There is very little mess with our method. The vacuum collects the debris into a container rather than dropping it onto your paths and borders, and anything that does fall while we work is swept up before we go.

Clearing gutters without ladders on your walls
We use a high-reach gutter vacuum, worked from the ground, to suck out leaves, needles, moss and silt. It reaches most two and three-storey homes without anyone needing to lean ladders against fragile gutters or tread on flower beds. For the very tallest houses, or awkward rear elevations, we can also use our 19m cherry picker with IPAF-trained operatives.
As we work, we check that outlets and downpipes are running freely and tell you if we see anything else, such as a sagging section, a leaking joint or a broken bracket. That is particularly useful on older homes in Church Cobham, where some older guttering is reaching the end of its life.

Fascias, soffits and the finished look
Clean gutters are only half of it. White uPVC fascias and soffits pick up green algae and grey dirt under trees, and that is often what makes a house look tired from the road. We clean fascias and soffits as part of the visit if you would like, so the roofline looks as good as it works.
On one Cobham job, the full works, we cleaned the roof, cleared the gutters, cleaned the fascias and soffits and then did the patio, driveway and windows. That order matters: clearing the gutters after the roof clean means nothing we wash off the roof is left sitting in them.

When to book in Cobham
Late autumn, once most leaves have dropped, is the busiest time, but pine needles and birch seed fall at other times of year too. Many customers with trees close to the house have their gutters cleared once a year as a minimum, and twice if they back onto woodland or Fairmile Common. If you see water spilling over the edge in heavy rain, or plants growing out of the gutter, it is time.
We work across Cobham most weeks, including Fairmile, Downside, Stoke d'Abernon and Leigh Hill, so booking a clearance at the right time of year is rarely a problem. Quotes are free and there is no obligation.

Bigger homes, longer gutter runs
Many houses here have a lot of gutter. A large detached home around Fairmile or on one of the private estates may have several gables, dormers, valleys and bay roofs, each with its own gutter and outlet, plus garages, outbuildings and pool houses. It is easy for one hidden section at the back to block while the front looks fine.
We go round the whole property, including outbuildings if you want them done, and clear every run rather than just the obvious ones. If you have had a roof clean recently, or you are having one with us, we clear the gutters afterwards so all the loosened moss is removed.
For homes in the low-lying parts of the village near the River Mole, where walls and paving already take longer to dry, keeping gutters flowing is one of the simplest ways to stop damp patches and green staining spreading.

Gutter Cleaning Cobham FAQs
Answers to common questions about our exterior cleaning services. Can't see yours? Give us a call — we're always happy to help.
How do you clean gutters without ladders?
We use a high-reach gutter vacuum from the ground, and our 19m cherry picker for very tall or awkward roofs. Nobody leans ladders on your gutters.
How often should I have my gutters cleared in Cobham?
At least once a year for most homes, usually after the leaves have dropped. If you have pines or large oaks close to the house, or you back onto Fairmile Common, twice a year is often sensible.
Do you check the downpipes too?
Yes. We check outlets and downpipes are running freely and tell you about any leaks, sagging or broken brackets we see.
Can you clean my fascias and soffits at the same time?
Yes. We clean fascias and soffits as part of the visit if you would like, which makes a big difference to how the front of the house looks.
Should I clear the gutters before or after a roof clean?
After. We always clear the gutters once the roof has been cleaned, so all the moss and debris from the roof is removed rather than left in them.
Can you clear gutters on outbuildings and garages?
Yes. Many properties have garages, pool houses or garden rooms with their own gutters. Tell us when you book and we will include them, so the whole property is clear and draining properly.
