Gutter Cleaning & Gutter Repairs In Loughborough

Loughborough 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 Loughborough 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 Loughborough town centre, Shelthorpe, Thorpe Acre, Dishley and the rest of LE11 and LE12.

The Outwoods, 110 acres of ancient woodland gifted to the people of Loughborough in 1946, lies just south of the town. Homes that back onto woodland like this get a load that changes with the seasons: leaves in autumn, seeds and catkins in spring and, wherever there are conifers, needles that pack into gutters all year round.

Charnwood Borough Council's own flood work shows how much trouble debris can cause here. On Wood Brook it installed a debris screen at Holt Drive in 2016 and added a remote camera to watch it. A hopper or gutter outlet behaves the same way on a smaller scale: once leaves collect at the outlet, water backs up and spills over the edge.

Loughborough also has conservation areas that take in Victorian, Edwardian and 1920s suburbs. We clear the gutters and hoppers, flush the downpipes and check the gully each one drains to. Prices start from £120 + VAT.
