Gutter clearance at St Matthews Church, Stroud

Church buildings have a variety of architectural styles and layouts and can have a more complicated guttering and drainage system than on other standard buildings and because they are often listed, they can have special gutter cleaning requirements.

Our gutter cleaning team recently completed gutter cleaning and maintenance for St Matthews Church, Stroud, Gloucestershire using a cherry picker to access the guttering safely. This makes it easy to get to those gutters that cannot normally be accessed.

Gutters, roof/floor gulleys and downpipes were blocked or heavily restricted, causing damp  and damage to the brickwork and foundations. Churches are prone to gutter problems, often because of where they are located in rural areas, and often surrounded by trees.

Church Guttering Repairs

It is imperative that guttering repairs identified are fixed at the earliest opportunity to prevent damage to the church and its foundations. Our gutter repair teams are fully equipped to carry out repairs that meet the required standards on listed buildings.

When is the best time of year to clean your gutters?

When is the best time of year to clean your gutters?

It all depends… Most people believe that gutters should only be cleaned in Autumn after the leaves have fallen. In some cases this is true. If you live close to trees or have neighbouring woods then yes, after the leaves have fallen it would be an excellent time to clean out the gutters.

In most cases, it is not leaves that block our gutters! One example is when gutters fill up with fine grained debris such as roof tile silt. This provides a perfect foundation for grass and plant seedlings to grow, and with a continuous supply of water running into the gutters, this gutter blocking foliage seems to flourish better than it would in our gardens!

With new plantlife growing and becoming more dense it compacts to the shape of our gutters, which blocks the flow of water, causing havock! With the natural force of gravity, water will find the lowest point and start to pour over the gutters.

It is usually Spring and Summer when you notice growth emerge from your gutters, this should encourage you to clean the gutters out quickly before the problems begin.

If your gutters are overflowing, you know you have left the gutter cleaning too long.

Gutter cleaning at former Gloucester prison

,

Maintenance of gutters, roof valleys and rainwater systems is essential to the integrity of any building – but on large commercial properties where huge roof areas can collect large quantities of rain, it is something that should never be ignored.

Blocked gutters and down-pipes can have catastrophic results. During a heavy downpour, it could take just minutes before overflowing water finds it’s way inside your building, damaging both the building and also the stock and equipment inside.

At Diamond Shine, we offer a full gutter unblocking service, and are happy to schedule regular checks to ensure future issues are caught before damage is caused.

Our gutter-vac system allows us to remove debris from high gutters without mess, and often without access equipment or ladders.This ladder-less approach ensures we comply fully with health and safety legislation and also allows us to reach areas where access equipment cannot drive.

The camera system feeds a live view of the gutter to the ground based operator so we can be sure that nothing gets missed. We can also supply video recordings of gutter inspections that may be required by your building insurance providers.

We were asked to clear the gutters at former HMP Gloucester, they had not been cleared in years and were in a desperate state. Damp was visible in parts of the prison from the overflowing gutters. Some buildings in prison are listed buildings so need to up kept to prevent irreversible damage. 

We cleared the gutters without expensive access equipment saving the customer £££££
