As you can see, after a professional pressure wash, the original colour of the blocks is restored. Red and buff block paving that has appeared almost black for years returns to its original warm tone. The joints are cleared of moss and weed growth, and the surface has a clean, defined appearance that dramatically improves the kerb appeal of the property.
For many homeowners, the result is genuinely surprising. The driveway they’ve lived with for years looks as though it has been replaced rather than simply cleaned.
Natural stone and porcelain patios tend to pick up algae and lichen quite easily. Their slightly textured surfaces give this kind of growth something to cling to, which is why they can start looking green and patchy over time.
Very much so. Many of the areas we cover are known for their mature trees and green spaces, which are great for the local environment but can be tough on guttering systems. During autumn in particular, it doesn’t take long for leaves and debris to build up and restrict the flow of water.
It really depends on where you live and what’s around your property. Across South West London, many homes are surrounded by mature trees, which means leaves, seeds, moss, and other debris can build up pretty quickly.
For most properties, an annual gutter clean is enough. However, if you’re in particularly leafy areas like Richmond, Kew, or near one of the local commons and parks, we generally recommend having your gutters checked and cleaned twice a year to stay ahead of potential blockages.
Absolutely. In fact, roof moss is one of the most common causes of gutter blockages we see across our service area. As moss breaks away from roof tiles, it gets washed into the gutters during rainfall, where it can build up and restrict water flow. Properties with older roofs or lots of shade from nearby trees are particularly prone to this.
In most cases, no. We use specialist gutter vacuum systems that allow us to clean gutters safely from the ground using lightweight carbon fibre poles.
Not only is this safer, but it also allows us to reach awkward areas above conservatories, extensions, garages, and other hard-to-access parts of the property without the need to place ladders against your home.
The most obvious sign is water overflowing during rainfall instead of flowing through the gutter and downpipe as it should.
You may also notice staining on the walls below the guttering, sagging sections of gutter, damp patches indoors, or even weeds and grass growing from the gutters themselves. If you’ve spotted any of these signs, it’s usually worth arranging an inspection before the problem gets worse.
Summer and early autumn are ideal. The weather is generally drier in South West London, making it easier to spot and deal with any issues before the heavier rainfall and falling leaves of autumn and winter arrive.
That said, if your gutters are already overflowing or showing signs of a blockage, it’s best not to wait. The sooner the problem is addressed, the less chance there is of water damage developing.
