Gutter Cleaning & Gutter Repairs In Newark-on-Trent

Newark-on-Trent 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 Newark-on-Trent 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 Newark town centre, Balderton, Fernwood, Hawtonville and the rest of NG24 and NG23.

Between noon on 18 October and 11pm on 20 October 2023, the Environment Agency's Staythorpe rain gauge, about 3.5 km from Newark, recorded 124 mm of rain, and it fell on ground already saturated by weeks of wet weather. Nottinghamshire County Council's investigation describes surface water running down Beacon Way and Beacon Heights, following the slope and the road, and into two homes on Beacon Heights.

Rain like that finds every weak point in a roof. A gutter half full of moss overflows within minutes, and a blocked hopper sends water straight down the brickwork to pool at the foot of the wall. Many of Newark's older buildings still have cast-iron gutters and downpipes, and more than 360 of the town's buildings are listed. Historic England treats clearing leaves from rainwater goods as routine maintenance. Listed building consent mainly becomes relevant if the historic gutters and pipes are being replaced.

We clear and flush every run, check the joints and send you photos of what we found. Gutter cleaning in Newark starts from £120 + VAT.
