Clearing Shop Gutters In Cannock Town Centre

Gutter Cleaning in Cannock Town Centre

We had a call from a shop in Cannock town centre who had a major leaking gutter over the front of their store.

After carrying out an inspection of the guttering it was clear the cause for the leak was the gutters were severely blocked which was restricting the water from flowing away from out of the gutter down the downpipe. 

As the water had no were to go due to the blockage it was overflowing from the lowest point in the gutter run.

The torrential of water was directly above the shops entrance which was also finding its way into the store caused damp issue within the suspending ceiling.

Due to Cannock town centre being busy during shop opening hour the three-story building gutters had to be cleared out of hours.  

So today the team had an early start before any of the shops opened which caused minimum disturbance to any of the store staff and customers.

Once the guttering was fully cleared we then ran a water flow check to ensure the water was no longer overflowing and the gutter was exiting the water from the roofline as it should.

On completion photo's were then take to show our client that the guttering was fully cleared for their piece of mind and it was also recommended to clear the guttering of debris a minimum of once per year to prevent any further problems occurring.

Gutter Guards

November 24, 2019
This is another hot topic when it comes to cleaning and maintaining home gutters. Here we will go through the most popular gutter guards used in the UK and what we think to them with both their pro and cons. Most Popular Gutter Guards 1. Gutter Hedgehog The gutter hedgehog became very popular after being promoted on a very popular shopping TV shopping channel. The idea behind the gutter hedgehog is that they are a quick and easy to install while preventing your guttering from being able to get block with debris whiles still allowing the water to flow. What we have found is that they do not tend to be all that great. The gutter hedgehog tends to catch moss, leaves and general debris which then decomposes and blocked the guards which prevent the water from flowing. Also, any seedling which gets into the guttering instead of being able to flow away with the rainwater ends up being caught in the hedgehog and start to grow as seen in the photo above. When we clear guttering with these in place we always advise the homeowners to take them out and leave them out, they are more hassle than they are worth. 2. Leaf Guards
