Gutter Cleaning & Clearing in Bristol & Bath – Carbon-Fibre Vacuum, Same-Day Quotes

Blocked or overflowing gutters aren’t just an eyesore – they lead to leaks, damp, mould and costly repairs if left unchecked. We’re your local gutter specialists based in Kingswood (BS15) and serving all of Bristol (and Bath on request). Our team uses the GVS 3600 carbon-fibre pole vacuum system to clear gutters safely from the ground – no ladders leaning on your fascias.

Fast, thorough, and mess-free service from a fully insured team, with same-day quotes and even annual maintenance plans available to protect your home year-round.

Why Keep Gutters Clear (and What Happens If You Don’t)

• Stops damp & leaks – Overflowing gutters soak your walls, ceilings and foundations.
• Protects fascias/soffits – Standing water and wet debris rot roofline timber and uPVC joints.
• Prevents slip hazards & staining – No more dirty water streaking down walls or pooling on paths.
• Avoids costly damage – Prevents blown plaster, redecorating bills, and even structural issues.
• Saves money – A quick annual clear-out is far cheaper than repairing damp or replacing fascias.
• Prevents infestations – Blocked gutters attract pests such as insects, birds and rodents.

Tip: Clean gutters at least once a year (twice if your home is under trees or prone to moss).

Advanced Vacuum Gutter Cleaning – The GVS 3600 Advantage

• Safe from the ground – Up to 40 ft reach (3–4 storeys) with no ladders or scaffolding.

Expert Guide to Bath Stone & Exterior Surface Cleaning in Bristol and Bath

In the South West, beautiful homes and buildings often feature Bath stone and other delicate exterior surfaces. From the classic honey-coloured terraces of Bath to the elegant properties of Clifton, Redland and Westbury-on-Trym in Bristol, these stone facades and patios are stunning when cared for – but they’re also prone to algae, staining and weather damage. In this blog, we’ll share professional advice on caring for Bath stone, patios, and driveways, why soft-washing is the safest method, and how sealing or protective treatments can preserve your investment for years.

Why Bath Stone Needs Specialist Care

Bath stone is a soft oolitic limestone. While it looks fantastic, it’s porous and delicate, meaning it can easily absorb moisture, dirt and pollutants. Over time this leads to:

• Algae and moss growth – turning walls or patios green and slippery
• Black staining from lichen – particularly common in shaded or damp areas
• Pollution discolouration – especially on older city properties
• Surface erosion if high-pressure washing is used incorrectly

That’s why specialist methods are vital. Bath stone should never be blasted with harsh jet washing – it risks etching, spalling and permanent damage. The correct approach is professional soft-wash cleaning using gentle, low-pressure rinsing and carefully chosen biocidal treatments.

Our Soft-Wash Method (Safe & Effective)

We are specialists in Bath stone and exterior cleaning across Bristol and Bath. Our soft-wash process is designed to clean deeply but safely:

1. Assessment – Identify the stone type, pointing condition and staining issues.
2. Pre-treatment – Apply a professional biocide to kill algae, moss and spores at the root.
3. Low-pressure rinse – Remove dirt, staining and organic growth without harming the surface.
4. Detail work – Gently clean intricate stonework, sills and edges by hand if needed.
5. Optional protective treatment – Apply breathable stone sealer or water-repellent to slow regrowth and protect against pollutants.

This approach ensures Bath stone and other soft masonry is restored to its natural colour without risk of damage.

Seasonal Maintenance Tips

• Spring: Ideal for a deep clean after winter moss and algae buildup. Perfect time to prepare for outdoor entertaining.
• Summer: Best season for sealing patios, driveways and stone – warm, dry conditions ensure perfect application.
• Autumn: Clear fallen leaves quickly – tannin stains can mark stone and paving.
• Winter: Keep surfaces swept and safe. Frozen algae can turn decking and stone dangerously slippery.

Regular cleaning and sealing means your surfaces stay safe, attractive and easier to maintain year-round.

FAQs

Q: Is jet washing safe for Bath stone?
A: No – high pressure can erode or pit the stone. We always use soft-wash with gentle rinsing and biocides for Bath stone and other delicate masonry.

Q: Can you remove black stains and algae?
A: Yes. Our biocidal treatments kill algae and lichen at the root, lifting stains and slowing regrowth.

Q: Do you seal Bath stone?
A: In many cases, yes – with a breathable sealer designed for natural stone. This helps repel water and pollution without trapping moisture.

Q: Do you cover Bath as well as Bristol?
A: Absolutely. We work across both cities – from Clifton and Redland in Bristol to the centre of Bath and nearby villages.
