Gutter Cleaning Cork and Gutter Repairs
Common problems here include leaking joints, damaged joints, rubber seals missing, dirt in joints.
Many gutters are installed incorrectly or the brackets may have come loose. If the alignment/flow is incorrect, water will lodge in the gutter.This in turn can cause dampness and water to flow over the top. This problem can usually be rectified by adjusting a few brackets but in severe cases whole sections may need to be taken off and re installed.
Moss, pebbledash, tennis balls, grass, even shrubs.....All sorts of things can be found in gutter systems. Small blockages soon cause a build up and clog up the gutters. Grass roots intertwine along the gutters and are removed as 7ft long vines. Tennis balls are a perfect fit to plug downpipes.You get the idea.....
Green algae and black soot are the main culprits here.The algae is extremely tough to remove by water alone .Powerwashing (even petrol driven) only removes the surface leaving the roots behind. We generally handwash and rinse down.Our anti-fungal treatment and cleaning solution leaves the fascia and soffits looking brand new. Excellent Results..
I often get called out to repair/replace downpipes that have fallen off (or got kicked off). I will repair, realign or replace any damaged downpipes or gutters
Special lifting equipment is required here and there may be some other considerations relating to access. The cost for equipment hire can vary from €200 per day to €500 for a weeks hire.
