Gutter and roof cleaning is just one of the services our recommended experts can offer clients, and it is a vital part of maintaining any home or business. Experienced professionals take pride in providing an efficient and reliable service, so whether you need an annual clean or emergency gutter repair, a professional team is ideally suited to help. If you’re still not convinced about the merits of gutter and roof cleaning, here, we’ll explore why it is so important for your property.
If your gutters are clogged or damaged, it can cause a variety of problems for your home or business. Even a tiny leak or crack can create major and costly issues. As debris accumulates in your gutters, it prevents water from flowing away from your building, and it will pool. This standing water will start to penetrate your roof and cause damp issues. If left unchecked, the damp conditions may encourage rot of your roofing materials and allow mould or mildew to develop inside. Additionally, the escaping water will start to accumulate around the foundation of your building, allowing a slow seepage that could eventually weaken your overall building structure.
Damaged gutters lead to an accumulation of water, and any blockages will mean that the water has no place to go. In addition to causing cracked foundations and rotting roof materials, this water can cause penetrating damp that can affect almost any area of your property. You may start to notice mould appearing on external walls or mildew developing on plaster, insulation or other materials.
When there is excess water and damp affecting your home or business, it not only impacts the foundations and brickwork of the building, but it can also cause wood to rot. Rotting wood creates a perfect environment for a variety of pests. Insects, rats, mice and a number of other pests find rotting wood ideal living conditions, creating potential pest infestation problems inside your home.
While having your gutters and roof regularly cleaned may seem like an extra expense, it may actually offer money saving benefits. This type of task is considered preventative maintenance that can save money in the medium to long term. Blocked, damaged or a poorly maintained gutter can cause a number of issues to your property and it is likely that this will require disruptive and expensive remedial work to correct. So, the small expense of having your gutter and roof cleaned can easily pay for itself as you can minimise the risk of costly problems developing.
Gutter and roof cleaning typically includes removal of all debris, cleaning the debris from your roof and repositioning your gutters. Our recommended experts will also inspect your soffits and fascia boards for any signs of damage that may need repaired or replaced.
If you are considering having your gutters and roof cleaned, you can rely on our recommended professionals. These experts have expertise in all aspects of roof maintenance, installation, and repair, including gutter and roof cleaning. The team would be delighted to answer any queries you may have to ensure that your property is protected.
We had been trying for weeks to have a hole in our roof mended. We asked for a call back on the Thursday. They called us back within a few minutes and came and fixed our roof Saturday. Will definitely use them for any other roofing repairs

On my journey to find what is the issue with my roof Michael came recommended by another very high ranking professional who deemed its best to get some roof work done before I attempt to clean moss. I have nothing but kind words to describe Michael's professionalism, knowledge and skill. He has a very sharp eye and can pinpoint anything wrong with the roof and is incredibly honest and clear on what options we have on how to attempt to do the work. He provides an update every day on what is done and what is left and is incredibly clean and tidy when doing the work. He has so much compassion of the family situation and provides options for work to be done to suit the family budget. He has been so kind, knowledgeable, and honest with us that he has made something as devastating as roof works in 2 months of moving in, for a first time buyer, something manageable. He is always on time and has prioritised to do work even when the temperatures were below 0 just to make sure our roof wasn't leaking with the bad weather saving us a lot of potential damage. He is very trustworthy and I would recommend him and use him again if needed.

I contacted L&M roofing on Saturday, the problem with the damaged chimney, we met on Sunday, we agreed on the work, on Monday it was already done, before and after photos, efficiently and professionally. Thank you I'm waiting for the first heavy rain 🙂
Sebastian
We lost a tile overnight in the recent storms - gave him a ring when we noticed it (on a wet & windy Saturday) - he was here within the hour and job completed 10mins after arriving. He was almost too embarrassed to charge us - but we were happy to pay for his service (and obviously did). Great guy and a great job done. Highly recommended - and such a nice chap as well. We will definitely use him again.

I can't praise Steve and his team highly enough. Exemplary standard of workmanship, courteous, punctual, tidy, considerate and reasonably priced. The work (replacing soffits, fascias & guttering) was completed on time, on budget and to the highest standard. The site was thoroughly cleaned before they left. I would unreservedly recommend giving Steve the chance to quote for your job and am sure that you won't be sorry.

Would recommend SDB building. Communications are always excellent, and the team deliver high quality works on the promised timescale.
Stephen
Quick and efficient response to the major issue found when doing work, communications were excellent throughout the work, photos supplied of completed work which is very helpful. While not the cheapest or most expensive, work completed looks 5*, it was not rushed.

Steve and the guys did a great job replacing the valley, installing an eaves tray and felt replacement on the chimney and chimney flaunching to name just a few of the repairs. High quality job - I can tell by the photos they undertook before and after. Reliable time keeping, they worked hard, kept tidy and above all the communication was excellent. I have used them several times before for different building jobs and they always provide a high level of service which is customer focused. Highly recommended.
Colette
Great team of guys who responded to our urgent repair needs. Steve was happy to talk us through the issues he could see and the options and costs of correcting them, before starting work, so there were no surprises. Work was completed on time and to a high standard.
