Cleaning your gutters is an important task to prevent problems like blocked downpipes and rainwater leaking into your ceiling cavity. Here are some guidelines on when and how often you should clean your gutters:
- It is recommended to clean your gutters at least once a year.
- If there are trees or even a wooded area nearby, you might need to clean your gutters more than once a year.
- If there are no trees in the vicinity, moss and sludge can accumulate over the year.
- An optimal time to clean the gutters is in late autumn after all the leaves have fallen, but before the winter rains start.
- If you have trees near the roof line, you may need to clean your gutters more frequently.
Remember, safety is paramount when cleaning gutters. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and let someone know when you’re cleaning them. If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, consider hiring a professional. Happy cleaning! 😊
