The Importance of Gutter and Roof Cleaning
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.
Safeguarding Your Building Structure
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.
Damp Protection
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.
Discouraging Pests
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.
Money Saving
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.

Warren did a super job for me, sorting out my broken tile and gutters quickly and without fuss. Wouldn't hesitate to use again, thank you.
Lesley R
Warren responded very quickly, was able to come the same day to take a look at and eventually repair a leaky roof. Very knowledgable and professional. And the leak is fixed!
Diane
Paul Williams got in touch when he said he would, gave the quote and did the job within reasonable time, somewhat set back by the weather. He was very easy to deal with and responded immediately to my emails. Full marks for that! I will use him again if I have a problem.
Hedli Tanner
Thoroughly recommend Paul. Contacted Paul after another roofer left us with a leaking flat roof and was unable to resolve the issue. Paul replaced the flat roof and no more leak. Would definitely use him again
Jennifer Simmonds
Could not have asked for a more. They were professional and efficient. Would highly recommend.
Gary
After posting the advert for a garage roof that needed a complete overhaul David was able to visit straight away. He was very knowledgeable and talked me through all of the details. Their quote was the most competitive and communication was excellent! The roof was completed to a very high standard and I am very impressed with the company. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family!
Alix
Fantastic job! I wouldn't hesitate to hire David and his team again.

Michael Lorefice
Mike did a great job cleaned up well after and disposed of all the rubbish. Will use again and would recommend him to anyone.
Mark
We had worked carried out last year that was excellent by Micheal. He was very polite, tidy and reliable. Had a small problem and he came straight out and corrected it. Would definitely recommend.
Rosie
Michael was quick to investigate and identify the source of my leak and resolved the issue promptly for a very fair price. He was really easy to talk to and I'd highly recommend him to others looking to get roofing work completed!
Alex
RFR made the time to come out and inspect the bay roof which had leaked in the previous night following a heavy storm. He explained that it needed a repair not a replacement and set to work straight away. They explained very clearly what needed doing and the the cost involved, which was very reasonable. We were very relieved to say the least, having assumed the roof might need a very costly replacement. We would have been none the wiser had someone confirmed our worse fears. RFR were very honest and helpful and even troubled to advise us on how to make good the damage to the inside decoration. We would not hesitate to use RFR again and can recommend him without reservation.
Andrew
Saved me from a real emergency. Great care from start to finish. Would highly recommend.
Hana Ellis
Paul and his team did a first class job after we had been let down by other people. Someone who turns up and does what he says he’ll do. I have no hesitation in recommending this company for any roof repairs.
Tony Slatter
Michael is very knowledgeable and his advice was invaluable in deciding the best option to repair my ridge tiles on my roof. His quote was very competitive and the standard of his work was very high, moreover he ensured that any mess was tidied up and taken away for disposal. I have not hesitation in recomending MK Maintenance.
Raymond Tully

Kenneth Swan
Excellent roofer
Mary
Warren was so professional and helpful. Warren put right our guttering that was done so poorly by a different company. We are extremely happy with the service and wouldn't hesitate to employ him again for future roofing work. Thank you.
Mrs sharon m Brown
Paul Williams responded immediately and visited to survey the job and explained what was required - very friendly chap. A week later I received a quote. My inclination is to take up Paul’s quote but I am ‘still’ waiting for other quotes from other companies before committing myself.
Ray Pinner
