Gateshead streets carry a lot of mature trees, and that shows up in the gutters every November. A run under a sycamore or oak can be packed solid within one season, with seedlings rooting in the sludge by spring.
We empty the runs with a vacuum on poles from the pavement or garden, including over porches and single storey extensions where ladders would be awkward. If your house backs onto woodland, around Chopwell, Rowlands Gill or Whickham for example, a second visit in the year is often worth it.
You get camera footage of the inside of the gutter, which is the only way to see from the ground that the job is done.
