Any roofer will tell you that it\u2019s difficult and in cases impossible to clean, repair and maintain guttering in the winter.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The reason for this is rather simple \u2013 high winds and rain do not play nice with ladders or the tools required to perform a gutter job. While the most daring of roofers will be able to get into a position where gutter maintenance is possible, things like bolts and sealants are difficult to work with in gale-force conditions.<\/p>\n

And also, sealants won\u2019t set right if the guttering is not clean and dry.<\/p>\n

If you have noticed that your gutters are leaking, they could be leaking because of a variety of reasons. The most common cause is corrosion. The second most common cause is a blockage, although this doesn\u2019t manifest itself as a trickle; a blockage usually manifests as a lack of water entering your drain from your gutter pipe. If a blockage gets too bad, your gutters may start to overflow around your property.<\/p>\n

Now that it\u2019s getting warmer and the rain less frequent, it\u2019s time to have your gutters cleaned. Why? Because your gutters will have picked up a lot of dirt and grime from your roof over the winter period and their ability to collect water will be reduced. What\u2019s more, stones, grout and tiling may be affecting the flow of water in your gutters. If water can\u2019t escape, it can stagnate and corrode your guttering, especially if your guttering is cast iron or wooden. Plastic guttering is less prone to this, but it can still occur.<\/p>\n

So no matter what your gutters are made out of, it\u2019s prudent to keep an eye on them to make sure that they are able to cope with rain, snow and all other elements.<\/p>\n
