How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters in Croydon & South London?

If you live in Croydon, Sutton, Bromley or anywhere across South London and Surrey, your gutters are working harder than you'd think. Falling leaves, moss from nearby trees, and our famously wet weather mean gutters can block up faster than in drier parts of the country.

As a general rule, most homes benefit from a gutter clean twice a year — once in autumn after leaves fall, and once in spring to clear winter debris. Properties near large trees may need a third clean in summer.

Warning signs your gutters need attention include: water overflowing during rain, plants growing in the gutter, staining on brickwork below the gutter line, and sagging gutter sections.

Blocked gutters that aren't dealt with can lead to damp inside walls, damaged roof timbers, and costly repairs — all preventable with a simple clean.
