Quick answer
Blocked downpipes often cause gutters to overflow even when the gutter channel looks clear. We can usually clear downpipes as part of a gutter visit using rods, flushing or dismantling accessible sections.
What you need to know
Symptoms include water spilling at the hopper, gurgling drains or damp on walls below.
Repeated blockages may indicate cracked pipes, poor fall or debris entering from open hoppers.
We advise if a section needs replacing rather than repeated clearing.
How David White can help
We assess each property individually before recommending work. For what if my downpipe is blocked, that means checking access, roof or gutter condition, and any risks to neighbouring properties.
You can send your postcode and photos for a remote quote in many cases. If the job needs a closer look, we will say so upfront rather than guessing on site.
What to expect on the day
Our team works safely from ladders, towers or MEWPs depending on the building. We protect gardens, paths and driveways where moss or debris may fall, and we clear up when the job is done.
We will confirm timing, access and parking before we arrive so the visit runs smoothly for you and your neighbours.
