Gutter Cleaning & Gutter Repairs In Alfreton

Alfreton has seen its share of heavy-rain flooding, and blocked gutters make downpours worse: water spills down walls, soaks the ground beside your foundations and backs up into gullies and soakaways. That's why we check the drain each downpipe discharges into, not just the gutter.

Most homes in Alfreton need a gutter clean once or twice a year — usually late autumn after the leaves fall, and again in spring. Properties near mature trees may need more. While we're there we can reseal joints, refit brackets and replace damaged sections, and we cover Alfreton, Somercotes, Riddings, Swanwick and the rest of DE55.

Alfreton started on the hilltop at the top of King Street, around the old market place, and that's where the conservation area is. Amber Valley Borough Council designated it on 10 September 1971 and extended it in December 1974. It's one of 29 conservation areas in the borough. Parts of the Church of St Martin date back to around 1200, and Alfreton House, just off the High Street, dates from about 1650.

Most of the town is much newer. Coal and ironstone brought thousands of workers in the 19th century, and the area that became the urban district grew from 2,301 people in 1801 to 21,232 by 1931. The extensive brick terraces date from that period, when brick and tile making were local industries. On those terraces, one gutter often runs the full length of the row. Water from a blocked outlet at one end has to travel past several front doors to find a way down.

Our gutter cleaning in Alfreton starts from £120 + VAT. Each downpipe is flushed through to the gully or soakaway it drains into, so you know the whole route is clear.
