How to get your gutters cleaned when you don’t like heights

During the rain, when the water comes teeming off your roof slates and tiles and down into your gutters it will usually brings with it loose moss, mud and silt ect. and when this debris starts to build up in your gutter system it can only be a matter of time before they begin to get cluttered and blocked.

Changes in the seasons can also influence how long it will take before your gutter system can become blocked with environmental clutter. In spring seeds and decaying twigs can come loose from near by trees and can find there way in your gutter system. With silt and mud being deposited from you roof and seedlings from trees, you now have all the ingredients for a small forest to develop high up in your gutters system.

Home heating when turned on then causes the damp to condensate and create moisture which when combined with the heat from your home heating will create an ideal condition for mildew and toxic fungi to grow.

Clearly, the easiest way to preventing your gutters from overflowing is to clean them.
