Guttering in Churchdown

Where Does the Rain Go?

Guttering that leaks, sags or overflows soaks the walls of homes in Churchdown and rots the timber behind it. We repair joints, re-set falls and replace runs and downpipes in uPVC, so the rain off your roof goes where it should.

A gutter that leaks or overflows does its damage quietly. Water running down the face of the brickwork soaks into mortar joints, stains render and can show up as damp patches on an inside wall, while a downpipe that empties onto the ground next to the house keeps the base of the wall wet. Most problems start small: a perished seal in a union, a bracket that has snapped, or a swan neck packed with moss.

Where the system is sound we repair it: clearing silt and moss by hand, flushing downpipes, renewing union seals and realigning runs so they fall towards the outlet again. Where the gutter is brittle, faded or simply too small for the roof above it, a new system is better value than patching. We fit Freefoam uPVC in half round, square and deep flow profiles, plus a cast iron style uPVC that suits older and period houses.
