How much thought do you give to the guttering of your Bellshill property?

And why casting more than a cursory glance in its direction could save you thousands…!

There are many chores and must-do maintenance tasks that, as property owners, we need to do. From maintaining the exterior in good order, to making sure that all aspects of it function correctly should be an ever-ongoing cycle.

But, time and money can get in the way. When we are at our busiest and when the household budget is at its tightest, something can be damage but, rather than repairing there and then, we put it off for another day.
We all do it and, in many cases, when time and money allows, the damage is repaired and there are no lasting consequences.

There is, however, always something more pressing or more exciting to spend money on than the guttering of your Bellshill home but, when damage is spotted you need to get it repaired and here’s why…

The unsung hero

The guttering on your Bellshill property performs a task that is essential and yet, not many people attribute the importance of guttering to the well-being of their property.

The problem with water – rain is something that occurs in the UK on a regular basis; some areas of the country have more annual rainfall than others. Add to this the ferocious storms that can occur (such as in the New year of 2014) and what you have is the potential for guttering disaster…

Erosive and yet harmless – water is essential to life on earth; we drink it, cook with it, crops grow and prosper with rain and yet, it can also be an erosive force. Waterfalls are carved from the hardest rock by the constant flow and force of water. If water can erode rock, it can and does erode guttering on your Bellshill property.

What MUST happen…

Gallons of rainwater can fall on a rough in a single, short downpour. And this rain needs to go somewhere… it will want to fall to the ground as quickly as possible and this is exactly what the guttering of a Bellshill property does.

The gutters and channels sit, fixed to the exterior of your property and wait for the rain to fall. As soon as the first droplets hit, they guttering silently performs its job of funnelling the rainwater away from the exterior and foundations of your property as quickly and as effectively as possible.

But things do not always run smoothly…

The wind and rain, ice the sun and time all conspire to weaken the guttering on your Bellshill property. It cracks, breaks, fixing weaken and come away from the wall or fascia and the rain water is not so much as funnelled away but allow to run down the exterior wall, slowly but surely eating away at the very fabric of your building.

Sounds a little dramatic…

… if repaired quickly, there is minimal damage. If not, there can be major damage to repair, leading to increase costs. The moral of the store: spot sign early and get them repaired!
