During autumn, there is definitely a need to have a fully functioning gutter system. To be sure you should pay close attention to them and look after them properly. The rain and dropping leaves may result in blockages leading to damp patches and leaks. You should continue to check your gutters regularly. If you don’t you will only notice it once it’s too late, you will either be facing a leaky gutter and a repair or a costly bill due to structural damage from the water. Every month or so you can climb a ladder up to the gutters and see if there are any visible blockages or damages. If you see an easy to remove blockage then you can get this yourself however we would recommend hiring a professional. Professionals have all the knowledge and tools to deal with the typical blockages and damages a gutter may have. We have cleaned gutters recently in Hantone Hill in Bath. Both sides of gutters were fully blocked up. We gave a good clean and managed to cleared it all out.
