The Best Time of Year to Clean Your Gutters in Salisbury

When it comes to looking after your home, gutter cleaning isn’t always top of the to‑do list. But here in Salisbury, with its leafy streets, rainy seasons, and the occasional winter storm, keeping your gutters clear can save you a lot of stress (and money!) in the long run.

Blocked gutters don’t just look messy — they can lead to water damage, damp problems, pest infestations, and even structural issues. So, when’s the best time to roll up your sleeves (or better yet, call Chews‑Us) and get your gutters cleaned?

🍂 Autumn – After the Leaves Fall

Autumn is the most obvious time for gutter cleaning. Salisbury’s trees drop plenty of leaves and twigs, which can clog up gutters quickly. Cleaning after the leaves have fallen ensures your gutters are clear and ready for winter rains.

Why it matters:

• Prevents blockages before heavy winter rainfall.

• Avoids overflowing gutters and damp issues.

  
  

🌸 Spring – Clearing Winter Debris

Spring is another key season. Winter storms blow in branches, moss, and other debris that end up in your gutters. A good spring clean helps prevent problems as you head into summer.

Why it matters:

• Removes storm debris and moss.

• Prepares your home for summer showers.

  
  

🌧 After Heavy Storms

Wiltshire weather can be unpredictable, and Salisbury often gets its fair share of storms. After any particularly windy or rainy spell, it’s wise to have your gutters inspected — especially if you notice overflow.

Why it matters:

• Prevents sudden blockages.

• Avoids damage to gutters and fascia boards.
