Did you know? A simple gutter clearance can prevent a £1,500 damp repair. 📉🏠
During the UK winter, gutters take a beating from heavy rain, falling leaves, and freezing temperatures. If they are blocked or sagging, water doesn't flow away - it sits against your masonry or overflows into your roof space.
Today’s Spring Check-Up Task:
Look for the "Damp Tell-Tales":
1️⃣ Green algae or dark streaks on your external walls (under the gutters).
2️⃣ Peeling paint on the underside of your roofline (fascias).
3️⃣ Damp patches appearing on interior ceilings after a downpour.
Checking these three things today ensures your home stays dry and your bank account stays full.
We were recently called to a flat in Kentish Town where a full drainage valley on the roof had resulted in water overflowing into the roofspace and coming through the spotlights in the ceiling below. a simple check would have saved the client the stress of seeing a leak at midnight on a Sunday!!
