Gutter Cleaning and Repair in Princes Risborough

Gutter Cleaning and Repairs in Princes Risborough – Recent Residential Job

 

This week I carried out professional gutter cleaning and minor gutter repairs in Princes Risborough, helping a local homeowner resolve overflowing gutters and a small but persistent leak that had started to mark the brickwork below.

 

This type of job is extremely common in the area, particularly on older properties and homes surrounded by trees, where debris builds up quickly and small issues can easily be missed until water starts running where it shouldn’t.

 

The Problem: Overflowing Gutters and a Small Leak

 

The homeowner contacted me after noticing water pouring over the front gutter during heavy rain. On arrival, it was clear that:

 

The gutters were heavily blocked with moss, leaves, and compacted debris

 

A section of gutter had dropped slightly, causing water to run back toward a joint

 

One joint had begun to leak due to movement and trapped debris

Left untreated, this kind of issue can lead to damp problems, damaged pointing, and staining to brickwork or render.

 

Gutter Cleaning Process

I carried out a full gutter clear using professional equipment designed to remove debris safely and thoroughly without mess.

 

The process included:

Full clearance of all gutter runs

Removal of compacted moss and silt

Checking downpipes for blockages

Visual inspection of joints, brackets, and alignment

Once cleared, the gutters were flushed to confirm correct flow and identify any faults that were previously hidden by debris.

 

Gutter Repairs Carried Out

After cleaning, the issue was easy to pinpoint. A short section of gutter had dropped slightly over time, causing poor flow and a leaking joint.

I carried out the following repairs on the same visit:

Re-aligned and secured the affected gutter section

Re-sealed the leaking joint

Checked surrounding brackets for movement

This restored correct fall and ensured rainwater now flows cleanly into the downpipe without overflowing.

 

Proof Photos and Reassurance

As with all my work, the homeowner was shown before-and-after proof photos so they could clearly see:

What was causing the problem

That the gutters were fully cleared

That the repair had resolved the leak

This is especially useful for areas that can’t be seen easily from the ground.

 

Why Gutter Cleaning and Repairs Matter

Many homeowners book gutter cleaning but overlook small repairs. In reality, gutter cleaning and repairs go hand in hand. Cleaning exposes issues early, and small fixes now can prevent much larger and more expensive problems later.

 

Common signs you may need gutter cleaning or repairs include:

Water spilling over the gutter edge

Drips from joints or corners

Damp patches or staining on walls

Gutters that look uneven or misaligned
