๐ง๏ธ **Landlords โ Itโs Time to Take Gutter Health Seriously**
Under UK law (Landlord & Tenant Act 1985, Section 11), landlords are responsible for the **structure and exterior** of a rental property โ including gutters, drains, and downpipes. ([Legislation.gov.uk][1])
From October 2025, **Awaabโs Law** will legally require **social landlords** to act quickly when damp or mould hazards are reported โ investigating within 10 working days, making the property safe within 5 working days, and responding to emergencies within 24 hours. ([National Housing Federation][3])
There is strong expectation that many of these duties will be extended to **private landlords** through the Rentersโ Rights / Renters Reform framework. ([nockdeighton.co.uk][7])
Blocked gutters are a common hidden trigger: water overflows, seeps into walls, and worsens damp issues. A simple annual gutter clear + inspection can help prevent complaints, repairs, and regulatory risk.
At **SAS Gutter Clearing Ltd (SASGC)**, we:
โ
Clear gutters (removing leaves, moss, blockages)
โ
Inspect via CCTV and show before/after footage
โ
Provide a simple, honest service โ we **do not** upsell or repair
