How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?

The right interval depends on nearby trees, moss, roof layout and how quickly debris collects.

Use the property as your guide

An inspection after the main autumn leaf fall is a useful starting point. Properties under trees or with substantial moss may need attention more often. A sheltered property with little debris may behave differently.

Do not wait for the next scheduled clean

Overflowing, new drips and plants growing in the gutter warrant attention sooner. A recurring blockage soon after cleaning also needs investigation rather than simply a shorter cleaning interval.
