Gutter Cleaning Newent: Why January Is the Best Time to Clear Your Gutters

After weeks of heavy rain, wind, and winter debris like we've just experienced locally, January is one of the most important times of year to check and clean your gutters. Blocked or overflowing gutters can quickly lead to damp, leaks, and damage to your property - especially during cold winter weather.

At B & B Services Ltd, we help homeowners across Newent, Ledbury, Gloucester and surrounding areas keep their homes protected with professional gutter cleaning and property maintenance services.

What Happens When Gutters Are Blocked?

During autumn and winter, gutters collect leaves, moss, twigs, and debris. If left unattended, this can cause:

• Water overflowing down exterior walls

• Damp and mould inside the property

• Damage to brickwork and pointing

• Leaks around windows and doors

• Increased risk of freezing and cracked gutters

January weather puts extra pressure on drainage systems, making gutter maintenance essential at this time of year.

Why Gutter Cleaning in Newent Is Essential During January

Many homeowners wait until spring - but January is ideal because:

• Winter storms expose problems early

• Heavy rainfall highlights blockages

• Frozen water in blocked gutters can cause cracking

• It helps prevent costly repairs later in the year

Clearing gutters now ensures water is safely directed away from your home throughout the rest of winter.

Signs Your Gutters Need Attention

You may need gutter cleaning if you notice:

• Water spilling over the sides during rain

• Visible plant growth or debris

• Damp patches on external or internal walls

• Sagging or loose guttering

If you’re unsure, a professional inspection can quickly identify any issues.
