When the leaves start falling across Tyrone and Fermanagh, most homeowners enjoy the changing colours of the season.


But while autumn is beautiful, it’s also the time of year when your gutters are working the hardest.


Blocked gutters are one of the leading causes of water damage in homes across Northern Ireland.

Autumn rains combined with fallen leaves, moss, and debris can clog the system, stopping water from flowing freely.


That’s why autumn is the best time of year for gutter cleaning in Northern Ireland, especially in areas like Omagh, Tyrone, and Fermanagh where heavy rainfall is common.


The Problem with Blocked Gutters 🍂


  • Overflowing Water: When gutters are full, water spills over the edge, damaging walls, windows, and foundations.


  • Damp & Leaks: Blockages can cause damp patches and leaks inside your home.


  • Extra Weight: Wet leaves and moss get heavy, pulling gutters away from the roof.

Why Autumn is the Perfect Time for Gutter Cleaning in Northern Ireland ✅


  1. Leaves & Moss Are at Their Peak: Most blockages form in autumn, so clearing them now prevents winter problems.


  1. Prepare for Heavy Rain: NI weather is no joke - clean gutters mean water flows properly, even in storms.


  1. Protect Against Frost Damage: Standing water in blocked gutters freezes in winter, expanding and cracking the system.

Why DIY Isn’t Always Enough


It might be tempting to grab a ladder and clear gutters yourself, but this can be risky without the right tools or safety precautions.


A professional clean means:


  • Safe, no ladder walking.


  • Gutters, fascia, and soffits washed together for a complete refresh.


  • Biocide treatments to prevent moss regrowth.
