Gutter Repairs

Gutters carry rainwater away from walls and foundations. When they leak, overflow or pull away, water ends up on brickwork and paths, and over time can cause damp. We repair, realign, clear and replace uPVC guttering and downpipes.

• Leaking joints resealed or replaced
• Sagging runs realigned and brackets refixed
• Damaged sections and downpipes replaced
• Blocked gutters and downpipes cleared
• New uPVC guttering installed

Finding the Cause

• Overflowing along a run usually points to a blockage, a run with too little fall, or a gutter too small for the roof area.
• Dripping at one point usually means a failed joint seal, a cracked section or a loose union.
• Water running behind the gutter can mean it has dropped away from the fascia or the roof underlay does not reach into it.

How the Work Is Done

• Joints are cleaned and given new seals, or the union is replaced with a matching component.
• Sagging runs are refixed on new brackets at a consistent fall towards the outlet.
• Blockages are cleared from the gutter, outlets and downpipes, and the run is flushed to check flow.
• Damaged or brittle sections are replaced; where components no longer match, a new run may be the sensible option.

Repair or Replace?

A repair suits a single leaking joint or sagging section on otherwise sound guttering. Replacement is worth considering when the plastic has become brittle, several joints are failing, matching parts are unavailable or the fascia behind needs work too.
