Guttering and gutter repairs
New uPVC guttering and downpipes, and clearing and minor repairs to keep your rainwater system working efficiently.
Get a quoteGuttering plays a vital part in protecting your home. It collects the rain from the whole roof and carries it to the drains, so when it is blocked, leaking or sagging, that water runs down your walls instead and soaks into the brickwork.
A build-up of leaves, moss and debris causes blockages and rainwater overflow, which can damage the roof and increase the risk of damp and mould inside. Look out for water spilling over the edge in heavy rain, drips from the joints, green stains on the brickwork and gutters that have dropped away from their brackets.
We can clear your guttering and downpipes and carry out minor repairs, so your rainwater system works as it should. That can mean resealing a leaking joint, replacing a broken bracket, resetting a run that has lost its fall or replacing a cracked length.
When the old guttering is past repair, it can be replaced with new uPVC guttering and downpipes quickly and with little disruption. We use quality uPVC, which is low maintenance and long lasting, and you can choose from a range of styles and colours, including half round, square and ogee profiles.
Questions about guttering and gutter repairs
How often should gutters be cleared?
Once a year is enough for most homes, ideally in late autumn after the leaves have fallen. Houses close to trees may need it more often, and so may roofs where moss washes down from the tiles.
Why does my gutter overflow when it rains?
The usual cause is a blockage, either in the gutter itself or further down the downpipe. A gutter can also overflow when it has sagged and lost its fall, or when it is too small for the area of roof it drains.
Why is my gutter dripping at the joints?
On uPVC guttering the joints are sealed with rubber gaskets, which perish with age and sunlight, and brackets can shift and pull a joint apart. A leaking joint can often be resealed or replaced without renewing the whole run.
Can a damaged length be replaced to match?
Usually. The common profiles are still made in the usual colours, so a cracked or broken length can normally be swapped like for like. On older or unusual guttering, it can make more sense to replace the whole run, so the shape and colour are the same all the way along.
