Gutter cleaning
in Braine-l’Alleud
The big roofs of exposed villas take the west wind head-on: it is the verges and the ridge tiles that shift first. That is why gutter cleaning comes up so often in our schedule in Braine-l’Alleud.
BeforeAfter
The context in Braine-l’Alleud
Why here in particular
Large, exposed villa roofs take the west wind head-on: the verges and the ridge tiles shift first. So we adapt the equipment and the method rather than applying a standard protocol.
A blocked gutter overflows against the facade. Within a few winters the brick soaks up water, the render blisters and the base of the wall turns damp on the inside. It is the smallest piece of maintenance that costs the most when you forget it.

Frequently asked questions
Gutter cleaning in Braine-l’Alleud
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
What do you do with the waste?
They leave with us. Nothing gets pushed down the roof outlet or left in the garden.
How often does it need doing?
Once a year, twice if there are trees within ten metres. Always after the leaves have fallen.
Do leaf guards work?
It keeps the big stuff out. Conifer needles and silt still get through — it spaces out the maintenance, it does not remove it.
Do you come out to Braine-l’Alleud with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Braine-l’Alleud is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
