Gutter cleaning
in Wavre
Full clear-out of gutters and downpipes, check of the fixings, water test. In Wavre (1300) this is a regular request: the valley floor stays damp for much of the year, so north-facing slopes grow moss faster than elsewhere and the bases of the facades show it.

The context in Wavre
Why here in particular
What changes in Wavre is the context: brick terraced houses in the centre, detached villas on the outskirts, plenty of concrete-tile roofs laid in the 1970s. The valley floor stays damp for much of the year: north-facing slopes take moss faster than elsewhere and the bottom of the facades shows it.
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 Wavre
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 Wavre with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Wavre is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
