Gutter cleaning
in Gembloux
An abbey town surrounded by the Hesbaye farmland plateau, Gembloux brings together an old stone centre and many outlying villages. Full clearing of gutters and downpipes, check of the fixings, water test.

The context in Gembloux
Why here in particular
The plateau is very exposed to the wind: the verges, the ridge tiles and the fibre cement sheets on outbuildings suffer first. So we adapt the equipment and the method rather than running 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 Gembloux
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 Gembloux with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Gembloux is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
