How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters in the UK?

Keeping your gutters clear might not be the most exciting household task, but it’s one of the most important. Blocked gutters can lead to leaks, damp, and costly water damage to your home.

At D.S. Gutter Solutions, we help homeowners across Warwickshire, Rugby, Coventry, and Leamington Spa keep their guttering systems working smoothly all year round. So, how often should you clean your gutters,

and why does it matter?

How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?

In most parts of the UK, we recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year. once in spring and again in autumn.

 Spring: removes moss, twigs, and debris that built up over winter.

 Autumn: clears fallen leaves before heavy rain and frost set in.

If your home is near trees or woodland, you may need to clean them more often — around every 3 to 4 months — to prevent blockages.

What Happens If You Don’t Clean Your Gutters?

Ignoring your gutters can cause a surprising amount of damage, including:

Water overflowing onto walls and windows

Damp patches forming inside your home

Sagging or broken guttering from built-up weight

Damage to fascia boards, soffits, and brickwork

A quick clean now can save you hundreds of pounds in repairs later.
