Guttering, fascias and soffits

Gutter clearing, repairs and full UPVC replacement, along with fascias and soffits.

In short

Guttering is the cheapest part of the roof to maintain and the most expensive to ignore, because water running down a wall for a couple of winters does far more damage than the gutter would have cost to fix. We clear, repair and replace guttering, and fit new UPVC fascias and soffits where the timber behind has gone.

Signs you need guttering

  • Water pouring over the edge of the gutter in heavy rain
  • A green or dark streak running down the wall below the gutter line
  • Plants growing out of the gutter
  • Gutter sagging between brackets or pulling away from the fascia
  • Paint flaking off timber fascias, or soft spots in the board
  • Water dripping behind the gutter rather than out of the downpipe

What the job involves

Clear and flush

Debris out of the gutters and the downpipes flushed through, which on its own solves a good proportion of overflowing gutters.

Check the falls and the brackets

Gutters have to run to the downpipe. Sagging brackets and flat runs put water over the front edge no matter how clean the gutter is.

Repair or replace

Joints, brackets and short sections replaced where the run is sound, or the whole run renewed in UPVC where it has had its day.

Fascias and soffits

Where the timber behind has rotted, new UPVC fascia and soffit goes on so the guttering has something solid to fix back to.

Check the roof edge

While we are at the eaves we check that the membrane is dressed into the gutter, because if it is not, water runs behind it into the wall.

Frequently asked questions

How often should gutters be cleared?

Once a year is sensible for most houses, and twice if you have trees close by. Autumn is the obvious time.

My gutter only overflows in heavy rain. Is that a problem?

Usually it means a partial blockage or a run that has lost its fall. It is worth sorting, because heavy rain is exactly when the water volume does the damage.

Can you replace just one section?

Yes, where the rest of the run is in good order and the profile still matches. On older systems the profile can be hard to match, and we will tell you if that is the case.

Do I need fascias replacing at the same time?

Only if the timber has gone. Plenty of houses need nothing more than new guttering on sound fascias, and we will not tell you otherwise to make the job bigger.

Do you clear gutters on their own?

Yes. It is a small job and we are happy to do it as one, particularly if we are already working nearby.
