Gutter Repairs in London and the Home Counties

If there’s a problem with your gutters, you could easily run into trouble the next time it rains. You might even end up with damp problems inside your property.

Our experts provide gutter repairs and replacements that will correct any problems you have. A member of our team will be able to get hands-on with your whole guttering system and then provide a reliable fix. We repair and install gutters across London and the Home Counties.

Gutters, fascias, soffits and bargeboards form the eaves of your property. Gutters are usually attached to the fascias, so any problem with one can impact on the other. Soffits protect the underlying roof structure and can be fitted with ventilation, so a hole can lead to degradation and higher moisture levels in the loft space.

A single hole can also give pests (squirrels, mice, rats and birds) easy access, leading to problems that will need a pest control specialist. We repair or replace these materials quickly, ensuring rooflines in London and the Home Counties keep pests at bay, while keeping the gutters firmly in place.

Timber fascias and soffits can become weathered and start to rot away. We often replace old timbers with uPVC; a material that won’t rot and never needs painting. If the damage to your roofline timbers is only minor, we may recommend capping them with uPCV instead as a protective measure.

Common gutter problems
Your gutters can degrade unless they’re properly maintained. Here are some of the more common issues:

1. Blockages – These can place extra weight on your gutters, causing joints to open and brackets to weaken. Clearing debris twice a year can reduce the need for guttering repairs.
2. UV exposure – Ultraviolet light can cause plastic gutters to get brittle. Once this happens, it becomes weaker to the elements, making a gutter replacement the best solution.
3. Sagging – This can be due to a blockage, but there might also be missing support brackets and broken hangers. We can fix sagging and advise on how to avoid it in the future.
4. Rust Damage – If you have a cast iron gutter with scratched or weathered paintwork, then it may start to rust. Without gutter repairs, holes could start to appear and fixings may fail.
5. Leaks – When small cracks appear, you’ll need a roofer to patch them up as soon as possible. If there’s corrosion or a larger split, we may remove and replace your gutters instead.

Whether you have leaking gutters or need your downpipe replaced, we’re here to help. We can cater to all of your guttering needs; from cleaning and repairs to all-new guttering systems.
