What we see on Looe properties

If the gutter cleaning & clearing at your Looe property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Houses overlooking the harbour cop salt, diesel and gull droppings in one continuous coat.

Working harbour town facing the open Channel, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Working out of PL13 we're rarely more than 19.4 miles from a Looe job.

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Looe properties we treat have painted lime render and stone walls and a Cornish slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    40-ft carbon-fibre vacuum pole with HD camera - suits the gutter profile on fishermen's cottages and Victorian terraces

  • Method

    Downpipe inlets cleared and water-tested - matters more on harbour town stock with hidden internal runs

  • Method

    Joints checked for daylight - any failures photographed for Looe customers

  • Method

    Annual reminder set if you're on a busy stretch of A387

Where it usually starts in Looe

  • Overflowing front gutters on every heavy shower - typical of harbour town properties along A387
  • Damp patches behind gutter at the rear, almost always wet after a very-exposed week in Looe
  • Saplings literally growing in front gutters of older fishermen's cottages and Victorian terraces
  • Hopper heads packed with leaves from mature trees across Looe
  • Outlet boxes overflowing during Looe's heaviest very-exposed winter showers
