Guttering, Fascias & Soffits
Gutters and downpipes sized for heavier winter rain, and roofline boards replaced cleanly in timber or uPVC.
Roofline and rainwater work
Gutter clearing and repair
Blocked gutters overflow onto walls and into foundations. We clear, realign and reseal joints, and tell you if the system is undersized.
New gutters and downpipes
uPVC, cast-iron style or cast iron on period properties. On older houses in the conservation area, cast iron may be the appropriate choice.
Fascias and soffits
Rotten timber boards let water and pests into the eaves. We replace in timber or uPVC and keep roof ventilation working.
Valley and outlet checks
Overflowing gutters often start at a blocked valley outlet higher up. We follow the water back to the source.
Wetter winters, bigger gutters
The forecast
The Met Office UKCP factsheet for Bristol projects winter rainfall between 9% and 28% higher by 2050 than the 1981–2000 average.
What it means
A gutter that copes with average rain can overflow in a cloudburst. Downpipe numbers and outlet sizes matter more than the gutter profile.
What we do
On replacement jobs we look at the roof area each run drains and suggest a deeper profile or an extra downpipe where it is justified.
Guttering questions
Do I need scaffolding for gutters?
Often not for a two-storey house; we use suitable access equipment. Some jobs, or three-storey houses, do need a tower or scaffold — the quote will say.
Can you match my existing gutters?
Usually. Half-round, square and ogee profiles are all available; we match colour and profile where only part of a run is replaced.
