Our New SkyVac Will Get Your Gutters Gleaming This Winter

How often should gutters be cleaned? At Astound Cleaning Group we recommend a twice-yearly clean — and our new SkyVac system makes it easier than ever to keep your gutters gleaming this winter. We have long understood the importance of investing in the latest high-tech equipment. That, and planning for the future, are two key qualities that help set us apart from the competition.

That’s why we are delighted to announce that we have recently purchased the most powerful gutter vacuuming system on the market – the SkyVac– equipping us to clear your gutters in the coming Autumn and Winter months!

How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned in the UK?

Most UK homes should have their gutters cleaned twice a year — typically in late spring, after blossom and seed-fall, and again in late autumn, once the leaves have dropped. Properties surrounded by trees, older buildings with mossy roofs, or homes near the coast may need quarterly cleans to stay ahead of blockages.

Common Gutter Problems We Spot With SkyVac Inspections

During every visit our team also carries out a visual inspection using the SkyVac camera. The most common gutter problems we find are leaf litter and silt build-up, moss from neighbouring roof tiles, cracked or separated seam joints, bird and wasp nests, and standing water caused by gutters falling out of level. Catching these issues early prevents damp, fascia damage and costly repairs later on.

Our acquisition of the SkyVac Industrial 78 model enables us to meet the requirements of our valued customers head on as the seasons begin to change, and gutter maintenance becomes a priority once again. The 78 is the safest, most powerful and most durable model yet and will allow us to continue providing the best service around. In addition to the 78, we have also invested in purchasing the SkyCam camera system so we can take videos and still shots of the gutters.
