Gutter Cleaning Repairs in Arundel, West Sussex

Have you ever noticed a 'waterfall' effect over your front door during a downpour? It is easy to ignore a dripping joint or a bit of grass growing out of your eaves, but that trapped water has to go somewhere. Usually, it ends up soaking into your brickwork or pooling around your foundations. Most homeowners we speak to in Arundel do not realise their gutters are blocked until they spot damp patches on internal walls or a nasty sprout of mould in the spare room. Left alone, this 'water ingress' can lead to expensive structural repairs and rot in your fascia boards. Gutter cleaning is not just about kerb appeal; it is about preventing those big-ticket repair bills before they start.

Arundel has its fair share of tall, narrow properties and awkward extensions that make traditional ladder work a bit of a nightmare. That is where we come in. At Sink and Drain, we use advanced high-reach vacuum systems (often called a SkyVac) that allow us to clear out silt, moss, and debris from the safety of the ground. This means we can reach over conservatories or up to three-storey townhouses without needing expensive scaffolding. For the stubborn bits, we still use traditional hand-clearing and good old-fashioned elbow grease to ensure every inch of your guttering is clear. We do not just move the mess around; we remove it entirely, leaving your system free-flowing.

Sometimes, a good clean is only half the battle. Over time, the brackets that hold your gutters can snap under the weight of wet snow or heavy moss, causing the pipes to sag. When this happens, water pools in the middle rather than flowing to the downpipe. Our team are experts at gutter repairs across the Arun area, from realigning the 'fall' of your pipes to sealing leaky joints and replacing broken clips. We always carry a range of spare parts, so we can often fix those annoying drips on the spot. After every repair, we perform leak testing to make sure everything is watertight, giving you total peace of mind the next time the heavens open.

It is all well and good having clear gutters, but if your downpipe is choked with a tennis ball or a bird's nest, the water is going nowhere. We pay special attention to the 'swan neck' and the hoppers, where blockages most often occur. We ensure that surface water is directed exactly where it should go—into your soakaway or the main drainage system. Because we are West Sussex drainage services experts, we understand the whole system, not just the bits you can see. If your downpipes are backing up because of a problem underground, we can spot it and sort it, rather than just leaving you with a half-finished job.
