South Molton has a high number of older stone and rendered properties, particularly around the town centre and surrounding residential streets. Many of these homes were built with original guttering that has been adapted over time rather than fully replaced. Narrow downpipes and older brackets struggle to cope when debris builds up, especially during periods of steady rainfall.

The area is surrounded by farmland and mature trees, which leads to regular leaf fall and roof moss. This combination fills gutters quickly, particularly on properties with shallow roof pitches where moss tends to sit and break down into fine debris. Once that material reaches the gutters, it compacts and restricts water flow.

In many cases, the issue has been building for months. By the time it’s visible from the ground, downpipes are often fully blocked and joints have started to leak.
