A Gutter Full of Autumn Leaves

An autumn clear-out to stop leaves and debris from causing an overflow.

Autumn is by far the busiest season for gutter cleaning in Leeds. As the leaves come down they collect quickly in the gutters, packing together into a wet mat that stops rainwater draining away.

On this job the gutters were packed full of wet leaves and silt. With more rain on the way, they were close to overflowing — exactly the kind of build-up that needs clearing before it starts to damage the property.

Our gutter vacuum made light work of it, lifting the leaves out from ground level and leaving the gutters clear and free-flowing before the winter weather arrived.

A Gutter Full of Autumn Leaves - What we found

Before

What we found

Layer upon layer of wet autumn leaves had built up along the gutter and around the outlets — the number one cause of blocked, overflowing gutters through the winter months.

Clearing a build-up this heavy safely is exactly where our ground-based gutter vacuum comes into its own, lifting it all out from below without leaning ladders against the property.

After

The result

Every last leaf and all the silt was drawn out with the vacuum, and we checked the run for flow so rainwater can drain away exactly as it should.

A clean, clear gutter, ready for winter, with no mess left behind on the roof, walls or garden.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this job and our gutter cleaning in Leeds. Anything else? Get in touch and we will happily help.

Falling leaves are the number one cause of blocked gutters. They collect quickly through autumn, packing down into a wet mat that stops rainwater draining.

Late autumn, once most leaves have fallen, is ideal so your gutters are clear going into winter. If you are near a lot of trees, a spring clean helps too.

Yes. Our gutter vacuum draws leaves, moss and silt out from ground level, so most jobs are done without ladders or working at height — safer for you and your property.

They can. Trapped water overflows and can freeze, and standing water leads to damp and rot. Clearing leaves before winter avoids all of this.
