Gutter Cleaning — Chester-le-Street & DH2 – DH3
Blocked gutters are the number-one cause of fascia rot and eaves damp. A yearly clear-out — from the roof or a vacuum from the ground — costs a fraction of the fascia and soffit repair it prevents. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Pelton and Sacriston-edge.
- Full gutter clear-out, eaves to ground
- Downpipes rodded and flushed
- Joint leaks reported with photos
- Fascia and soffit condition assessed
- Photo evidence before and after
Chester-le-Street context
Chester-le-Street's older stone properties usually have natural slate. The single most useful thing we can do on those roofs is keep valleys and parapet gutters genuinely clear — most 'leaks' here turn out to be overflow events. Regular access via A1(M) and A167.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Stone-faced terraces around the historic centre, plus newer estate housing through Great Lumley and Pelton.
Weather considerations
Wetter than the coastal towns — guttering and valley clearance is a much bigger source of leaks here than wind damage.
