Clearing built-up leaf litter and silt from the gutters of a traditional slate-roofed home.
Older slate-roofed homes, especially those near mature trees and open ground, collect leaf litter, grit and roof moss in their gutters surprisingly quickly. This traditional Leeds property was no exception.
The gutters had filled with a matted layer of debris and silt that was holding water against the roof edge — not something you want near the timbers and stonework of an older home.
We cleared the full run and checked the flow, all without leaning ladders against the delicate slate. Careful gutter cleaning on period and stone properties across Leeds is something we do all the time.
Before
The gutter was packed with a wet mat of leaves, twigs, grit and moss that had built up over time, blocking the flow and pooling water at the roof edge.
On an older property, that standing water is the last thing you want sitting against the fascias and stonework.
After
Every bit of debris was drawn out and the run flushed and checked, so water now drains away cleanly to the downpipes.
The gutters are clear and free-flowing again, with the job finished tidily and nothing left behind.
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.

Yes. We have plenty of experience on traditional slate and stone properties across Leeds, and we work carefully to protect delicate roofs and stonework.
Not usually. Our gutter vacuum clears everything from the ground, so there is no need to rest ladders against fragile slate or guttering.
Leaf litter, grit, roof moss and windblown debris all collect over time, especially near trees and open ground, until the gutter can no longer drain.
Overflowing gutters, plants or moss visible along the run, water running down the walls, or staining on the brickwork are all signs it is time for a clean.
We recommend at least once a year, and can set up a regular yearly schedule so your gutters are always kept clear.
We provide gutter cleaning across Leeds and surrounding areas.
