It's certainly worth getting your gutters cleaned fairly frequently, as it has a number of benefits. The two key advantages are:
- Appearance
Regular gutter cleaning keeps the roofline of your home or business looking great. That's true regardless of the material - uPVC, metal or wood all look far better when they're kept clean. - Longevity
All guttering has a life span, but it can last significantly longer when well maintained. Blocked gutters cause a build up (pooling) of water, which can get very heavy, eventually causing damage to gutters, brackets and fascia boards.
While most people think of the first benefit, appearance, it's actually the second that is arguably the biggest benefit of regular cleaning. That's because repairs are typically significantly more expensive than getting a cleaning visit. What's more, poor quality guttering is more likely to leak or overflow, which is associated with damp and water ingress problems.
