Masona, thanks for replies. From what i can make out, that wouldnt help, as i need something for the top of the gutter, as i dont have access to the guttering at the bottom. Ironically, it shows a "gutter balloon?" which is what i need i think, but it says they cause more blockages than...

Is there such a device i can install, to stop moss, gravel, leaves and other such rubbish from going down my gutter? As further down the line, it joins in with my kitchen waste, then on through a horrible drain run before reaching the relative safety of the sewer. And i dont want any of that...

Thanks for the quick reply.. :D My drains contract is with Scottish Gas, dynorod are the company they own and use to exercise the unblockages. According to the contract, im covered for £1000 worth of repair work to these situations. Which clearly wont cover it. As i would have to dig a...

Recently my kitchen waste has become blocked.. :evil: Under a plumbing and drains contract , i had dynorod visit, they required access to a 4inch stack in the corner of my kitchen, this required removal of half my units, and sink. Once they had access, they jetted down the stack...
