Gutter Clearing & Repairs in Galston & across East Ayrshire
A blocked gutter is the cheapest problem you will ever have, right up until the day it is not.
Gutters in this part of Ayrshire fill with moss off the roof, leaves off the trees and grit washed down off the tiles. Once the water cannot get away it goes over the edge instead — down the wall, into the render, and eventually into the plaster inside.
John clears them out by hand, flushes them through so you can see the water running, and tells you straight if a length is past saving rather than selling you a whole new system you do not need.
You probably need this if
- Water pours over the front edge in heavy rain instead of going down the pipe
- There is a green or black streak running down the wall under the gutter
- Grass, moss or a small tree is growing out of the gutter itself
- The gutter has dropped at one end and holds water when it is dry
- You can hear dripping behind the downpipe
- Damp is showing on an inside wall in the same spot every winter
How the job goes
No surprises and nothing starts before you know the price.
- LookJohn comes out, gets the ladders up and actually looks in the gutter. No charge for that.
- ClearEverything out by hand into a bucket, not flicked onto your garden.
- FlushWater down the length so you can both see it running away properly.
- FixLeaking joints sealed, dropped brackets reset, split lengths and downpipes replaced.
What it costs
John does not quote gutters over the phone, because he cannot see them from there. He comes out, has a look, and gives you a price before anything starts. The look and the price are free.
A clear-out on a standard house is a small job. Replacing a run of gutter is a bigger one. He will tell you which one you have got.
Common questions
How often should gutters be cleared?
Once a year is enough for most houses. If you have trees close by — and a lot of the older streets in the Irvine Valley do — make it twice, once after the leaves come down in autumn and once in spring.
Do you take the mess away?
Yes. It comes out into a bucket and it leaves with John. Nothing gets dumped in your garden or left in a bag at the gate.
Can you fix a gutter without replacing the whole thing?
Usually, yes. Most leaks are a perished joint seal or a bracket that has pulled out of the fascia, and both are a repair. John will only tell you it needs replaced when it actually needs replaced.
Do you do gutters on a two storey house?
Yes. John has the ladders for a standard two storey house. If a job genuinely needs a tower or a cherry picker he will say so rather than take a chance on it.
How quickly can you come out?
Give him a phone on 07914 022612. He works seven days and he is usually somewhere in the valley already.
