When the sun’s out and the rain eases off, gutters are probably the last thing on your mind.
But summer is actually the ideal time for maintenance. Here’s why tackling gutter checks and cleaning during the dry season is a smart move.
It’s Easier to Spot Problems
With dry conditions and better visibility, summer makes it easier to spot issues like:
Cracks or leaks in your gutters
Loose or misaligned brackets
Signs of previous overflow on brickwork or render
Fixing these now avoids last-minute repairs when the weather turns.
Blocked Downpipes Don’t Always Wait for Autumn
While leaves fall in autumn, moss, seeds, and other debris still collect during spring and summer. This causes partial blockages that might go unnoticed until it’s too late.
Prevent Future Water Damage
A summer gutter clean ensures your system is ready for the first major downpour. Avoiding overflow protects:
Rooflines
Fascia boards
Foundations
Especially in areas like Haslemere and Petersfield, where summer storms can hit suddenly.
Fewer Appointments, Faster Service
Autumn is peak season for gutter professionals. Booking a check-up now in summer means:
Shorter waiting times
Better availability
Peace of mind before the busy season
Ideal Time for Repairs or Upgrades
If your gutters need sections replaced or if you’re thinking about adding mesh guards or upgrading to deep-flow systems, summer is the best time to get it sorted without weather delays.

Don’t wait for problems to show up when the rain returns. A summer inspection is quick, affordable, and gives you one less thing to worry about. Whether you’re in Farnham, Alton, Petersfield or Haslemere — local help is just a call away.
