Gutter Cleaning & Gutter Repairs In Leicester

Leicester 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 Leicester 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 City Centre, Clarendon Park, Highfields, Stoneygate and the rest of LE1–LE5.

Stoneygate is often called Leicester's best-surviving Victorian suburb. Houses went up along London Road from 1840, speculative building took off from 1865, and a 93-hectare conservation area was designated in 1978. Many of its large houses were designed by the city's leading architects of the time, and their roofs have gables, valleys and bays: far more gutter, and more corners for leaves to lodge in, than a modern semi.

The city's shape adds pressure. Leicester City Council's flood risk strategy says the land climbs steeply on both sides of the Soar and that the city is particularly vulnerable after heavy downpours. A gutter already half-full of moss overflows within minutes in a storm, and the water runs down brickwork or pools at the foot of the wall.

We clear gutters, valley outlets and hoppers, flush every downpipe and point out leaking joints or loose brackets while we're up there. Prices for a Leicester gutter clean start at £120 + VAT.
