Gutter Cleaning in Epsom
Oak and birch from Epsom Common, beech along Downs Road and willow around Stamford Green all end up in Epsom's gutters. We vacuum them clear with a high-reach gutter vacuum and clean the fascias and soffits while we are there.

Leaves, catkins and seed: what fills local gutters
The west of town backs onto Epsom Common and Horton Country Park, where the woodland is mostly English oak and silver birch. Oak leaves are big and slow to break down, and birch drops a steady stream of tiny seeds and catkins that settle into a sludge. On Downs Road, the beech and birch avenue planted in Lord Rosebery's time drops a heavy load every autumn, and Stamford Green has its willows.
Even homes away from the trees collect moss washed off the roof. Once the gutter is packed, rainwater spills over the front and down the walls.

Vacuumed clear from the ground
We use a high-reach gutter vacuum, which sucks out leaves, moss and silt with the operator standing safely on the ground. There is no ladder resting on your gutters and no one leaning over the roof edge. For the tallest houses, or where we are cleaning the roof too, we can also work from our 19m cherry picker.
Clearing gutters this way works well on the town's mix of rooflines, from the low eaves of cottages on Church Side to the tall three-storey Victorian and Edwardian houses around College Road and Burgh Heath Road.

Fascias, soffits and old brickwork
Blocked gutters do the most damage to the walls beneath them. Here that often means soft red brick, flint or stucco, which soaks up overflow and stains green and black. On older properties it can also wet timber weatherboarding, which is common around Stamford Green and College Road.
While we are up there we clean the fascias and soffits, so the whole roofline looks fresh. If we spot a cracked joint, a sagging section or a blocked downpipe, we will let you know.

Downpipes, valleys and slow-draining ground
A clear gutter is only half the job if the water has nowhere to go. Birch seed and silt tend to collect at the outlets and in the bends of downpipes, and on the steep Surrey Vernacular roofs around Burgh Heath Road the valleys between roof slopes gather leaves and moss before they ever reach the gutter. We check outlets as we work and clear what we can reach.
On the London Clay that covers the centre and west of Epsom, water that pours over a blocked gutter does not soak away quickly. It puddles against the base of the wall, splashes back onto brickwork and keeps footings damp. Keeping gutters and downpipes flowing is one of the cheapest ways to protect an older house on clay.
Timing matters too. Oak and beech keep dropping leaves into November, and birch seed carries on into winter, so a clear-out late in the season usually catches the lot.

Gutter Cleaning Epsom 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 often should gutters be cleared in Epsom?
At least once a year for most homes, ideally after leaf fall. If you are right next to Epsom Common, Horton Country Park or the trees on Downs Road, twice a year is often worth it.
Do you use ladders?
No. The high-reach vacuum is operated from the ground, and for very tall roofs we use our 19m cherry picker.
Do you clean the outside of the gutters too?
Yes. We clean the fascias and soffits along with clearing the gutters, so the roofline is left looking tidy. On homes under the trees they often carry a green film that comes off well with a gentle clean.
Should I have my gutters done after a roof clean?
Yes. A roof clean loosens moss, some of which ends up in the gutters, so we clear them out after a roof clean as standard.
