Gutter Cleaning in Bedworth

Coventry averages about 700 mm of rain a year, according to the Met Office. October is the wettest month, at 68.7 mm on average. Gutters that are full of leaves in October cannot cope with that.

Frost is the other winter risk, since the Coventry station averages around 39 days of air frost a year, mostly from December to March. Our checklist for preparing your gutters for winter shows what to do before the cold arrives.
