Case study · Leeds
Clearing a gutter completely packed with moss shed from the roof at a Leeds home.
Moss build-up is one of the most common gutter problems we see in Leeds. Over the years, moss growing on the roof breaks away and washes down into the gutters, where it settles and builds into a thick, water-holding layer.
On this property the gutter had become completely packed with moss and silt. With nowhere for rainwater to go, it was starting to spill over the edge — the first step towards damp walls, stained brickwork and rotten fascias.
Using our gutter vacuum, we drew every bit of moss and debris out from the ground and checked the run was flowing freely again. It is exactly the kind of gutter cleaning in Leeds we carry out day in, day out.
Before
The whole gutter was choked with moss that had come off the roof and compacted down over time, along with the usual silt and grit that collects alongside it.
Water was no longer able to drain, so it was overflowing down the wall — the kind of build-up that quietly causes expensive damage if it is left.
After
We cleared the moss and silt from every length of guttering and flushed the run through to be sure the water was moving freely once more.
The gutter is now clean, clear and doing its job again, protecting the home from water damage all year round.
The same careful four-step approach on every job, whatever we find.
We inspect your gutters and take a before photo, so you can see exactly what we are dealing with.
Our high-powered vacuum draws the moss, leaves and debris straight out and into the machine, safely from the ground.
We check every run to make sure water is flowing freely and there are no blockages left behind.
Finally we take after photos, so you can see the difference for yourself — clean, clear, free-flowing gutters.

Moss grows on roofs and slowly sheds into the gutters below, especially on shaded, north-facing or tree-lined properties in Leeds. Over time it builds into a dense, water-holding mat that stops your gutters draining.
Some moss return is normal, which is why we recommend an annual clean. If your roof sheds a lot of moss we can set up a regular schedule so your gutters never get to this state again.
Yes. When water cannot drain it overflows down the walls, causing damp, staining and rotten fascias, and the weight of a moss-packed gutter can pull it away from the wall.
We use a powerful gutter vacuum to draw the moss and silt straight out from the ground, then check the run is flowing freely. On some properties we clean by hand from ladders instead.
