Trees and what lands in the gutter
Mature canopy lines the streets near Wydown and the parks. Roofs with dormers and valleys collect leaves in places you can't see from the ground, so ask for photos of what's up there.
The houses in Clayton

What to look at first in Clayton
- If your house was caught in the May 2025 storms, have the gutters checked for damage that wasn't obvious at the time.

Guards in Clayton: questions
Which guard suits the trees in Clayton?
Small seeds and catkins favor fine mesh. If it's mostly big leaves, simpler types can work. Ask the contractor to name your trees and explain the choice. The guard guide covers each type.
Can you get guards fitted on an older Clayton home?
Often, but the gutter needs to be sound and pitched first, and old or slate roofs need care at the edge. Ask how the guard fixes and whether anything gets lifted.
