We work with all major gutter materials and profiles. Here are the three most popular systems we install across the South East.
The modern choice for long-lasting performance. Aluminium gutters are rustproof, lightweight and available in powder-coated colours that will not peel or fade. With a lifespan exceeding 30 years and virtually zero maintenance required, aluminium is the most popular upgrade we install. Seamless aluminium options eliminate joints entirely, giving a sleek finish and removing the most common source of leaks.
The traditional choice for period, heritage and listed properties. Genuine cast iron guttering offers unmatched authenticity, superior strength and a distinctive aesthetic that complements Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian architecture. We source cast iron components from specialist UK foundries, fitting half-round, ogee, box and moulded profiles with proper priming and finishing to prevent corrosion.
Specialist concrete and Finlock gutter services for the thousands of properties across the South East still fitted with these problematic systems. Finlock gutters, installed between the 1950s and 1970s, are a leading cause of damp, mould and cold bridging in homes of that era. We offer expert removal and replacement with modern aluminium or uPVC systems, completely resolving the thermal and moisture issues these gutters cause.
Our straightforward four-step process ensures every guttering project is completed to the highest standard with minimal disruption.
We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing gutters, fascias, soffits and downpipes. Using ladders or a telescopic camera where access is restricted, we identify every fault, blockage and area of deterioration, documenting the findings with photographs so you can see exactly what needs attention.
Based on our inspection findings, we prepare a detailed written quotation that itemises all materials, labour and disposal costs. We explain your options clearly, recommending the most cost-effective solution for your property. There is never any pressure and our quotes are valid for 30 days.
Our experienced installers carry out the work efficiently and safely, using quality materials from trusted UK suppliers. We protect your property throughout, keep the work area tidy and communicate progress at every stage. Most residential gutter installations are completed within one to two days.
Once installation is complete, we run water through the entire system to confirm correct falls, watertight joints and free-flowing downpipes. We remove all waste from site, leave your property clean and hand over your written guarantee along with care and maintenance advice.
Answers to the most common questions we receive about guttering, fascias and rainwater systems.
Common warning signs include water overflowing from gutters during rainfall, visible cracks or splits in gutter sections, sagging or pulling away from the fascia, peeling paint or damp patches on external walls below the roofline, green algae or mould growth on walls, and pooling water around your foundations. If you notice any of these symptoms, we recommend booking a free gutter inspection so we can assess the extent of the problem and advise on repair or replacement.
We recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year, ideally in late autumn after leaves have fallen and again in spring. Properties surrounded by trees or in heavily wooded areas may require more frequent cleaning, potentially three or four times per year. Regular cleaning prevents blockages that cause overflows and can lead to water damage, damp and even structural issues if left unaddressed over time.
uPVC guttering is the most affordable option and suits many standard residential properties, but it can become brittle over time, particularly in prolonged sunlight, and typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Aluminium guttering costs more upfront but offers a significantly longer lifespan of 30 years or more, does not discolour or warp, and is fully recyclable. Aluminium is also available in seamless runs, which eliminates joint leaks entirely. For most homeowners seeking a long-term, low-maintenance solution, we recommend aluminium as the better overall investment.
Finlock gutters are pre-formed concrete channels that sit between the inner and outer walls at eaves level. Over time the mortar joints between the concrete sections crack and fail, allowing rainwater to penetrate directly into the wall cavity. Because the concrete acts as a thermal bridge, affected rooms often suffer from cold spots, condensation and black mould on internal walls. Resealing provides only a temporary fix. The permanent solution is to remove the Finlock system entirely, install a conventional fascia board and fit modern guttering, which resolves both the water ingress and the cold bridging problems.
The cost of gutter replacement depends on several factors including the linear metreage of guttering required, the material chosen (uPVC, aluminium or cast iron), the height and accessibility of the property, and whether fascia or soffit boards also need replacing. As a general guide, a straightforward uPVC gutter replacement on a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house typically starts from around £600 to £900, while aluminium systems range from £1,200 to £2,500. Finlock replacements are more involved and typically cost between £2,000 and £5,000. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
