Downpipes play a vital role in moving water away from your home or building. When blocked, they cause gutters to overflow and walls to get soaked. Moss, leaves, roof grit, or animal debris are common culprits that gradually lead to drainage issues. Ignoring a clogged downpipe can result in water ingress, mould, and even structural staining.
Unlike visible gutter blockages, downpipe clogs are harder to spot early. You might only notice when water starts pouring over the sides during rain. That’s why regular inspection and clearing is essential. Clearing ensures rainwater travels quickly and cleanly down to ground-level drains, without backflow or pressure buildup in the pipe.

Using a combination of rods, high-pressure jets, and safe ladder work, we remove even stubborn obstructions without damaging pipework.
