Many homes or buildings include eaves troughs, rain gutters or guttering. These troughs commonly get clogged up, in particular where moss or falling leaves are present. Where a user fails to clear the troughs on a regular basis the clogged troughs prevent rainwater falling on the building's roof exiting the trough through downpipes and tend therefore to lead to problems with damp on the building or elsewhere. The present invention provides a screen or filter for an elongate eaves trough, said trough having an uppermost collection mouth in use, the screen comprises an elastic, resiliently deformable tubular length which is fitted around the eaves trough or gutter like a sleeve in use. The tubular material may be flexible so that it can be stored rolled or concertinaed in an applicator device. |
