Gutter Cleaning in Alresford
Alresford gutters have plenty to contend with. The woodland fringing Alresford Creek, and the big trees in many of the village’s gardens, shed leaves, twigs and catkins every year, and the bungalows and post-war family houses that make up most of the village catch the lot. DB Professional Services looks after gutters here with ground-based vacuum equipment rather than ladders.
Four simple size bands decide the cost, and the instant quote below tells you which one is yours.

Catkins, creek-side trees and bungalows
Catkins are small but surprisingly good at blocking a downpipe. They drop in late winter and spring, settle in the gutter outlets and knit together with older leaves into a plug that stops water dead. On homes near the creek, damp air keeps that material wet, so moss soon starts growing in it too.
Bungalows are common in Alresford, and their low gutters fill quickly under garden trees. The two-storey houses and the newer infill homes between them have longer runs, but the same problem: leaves on top, silt underneath and a blocked outlet at the end.
Which Alresford homes fill up fastest
In our experience, the homes that need the most frequent clearing are the ones with a tree directly over the roof or a tall boundary hedge alongside. Bungalows are especially prone, because a garden tree that would only brush the eaves of a two-storey house can hang right over a bungalow’s whole roof.
If your gutters were cleared in autumn but overflow again by spring, catkins are the usual reason. A quick look from the garden during heavy rain tells you a lot: water should be running into the downpipe, not over the front edge.
From the ground, not up a ladder
Rather than climbing a ladder, we use a high-reach vacuum system operated from the garden or drive. Corners, where two runs meet, and the sections above bay windows get an extra pass. The debris ends up in the machine, not over your lawn, borders or car. We make sure the water has a clear run from gutter to drain.
What an overflowing gutter can cost you
A blocked gutter seems minor, but on a wet Alresford afternoon the overflow has to go somewhere. It runs down the brickwork and can soak through to the plaster inside, it rots timber fascia boards, and it splashes up from paths onto the bottom of the walls. Over a few Alresford winters that leads to damp, stained render and repairs that cost far more than a clear-out.

Do you check the downpipes too?
Yes. We check every outlet and make sure water is flowing into each downpipe, because that’s where most blockages start.
Do you need ladders to clear my gutters?
No. Our high-reach vacuum works on extending poles from the ground, so a normal two-storey house doesn’t need a ladder or anyone on the roof.
