A blocked gutter is the cheapest problem on a house to fix and the most expensive one to ignore. Water that cannot get out of the gutter goes into the wall instead.
We clear, repair and replace gutters, and we check the fascias and soffits while we are up there, because that is usually where the rot has started.
What blocked gutters actually cause
- Damp and mould on internal walls
- Staining on the fascia boards below the gutter
- Water tracking behind the gutter and into the roof space
- Eroded pointing and blown render on the wall
- Stained or saturated brickwork at the base of the wall
- Plants growing in the gutter itself
Water travels. The stain on the ceiling is rarely directly under the hole, which is why we survey the whole roof rather than only the spot you can see.
What we do on the roofline
Cleaning is preventive. Repair is what happens after a joint or a bracket has already failed.
- Gutter clearance and downpipe jetting, with the waste removed
- Sealed joints and re-fixed brackets
- Gutter replacement in uPVC, cast iron or aluminium
- Cast iron restoration on period properties
- Finlock concrete gutter lining, common on mid-century houses

Water overflows onto the walls and can cause damp, mould and problems at the base of the wall. A modest gutter clean prevents a much larger repair later.
