Our Specification

Guttering, Fascias & Soffits

We clear, repair and replace guttering across London, along with UPVC fascias, soffits and downpipes. Because overflowing and leaking gutters are a leading cause of the damp and wall staining we already treat, we fix the roofline and the damage it causes together — with seasonal maintenance for landlords and managing agents.

Written Guarantee: 5 Years

Average Timeline Range: Same day - 1 week

Gutter Clearing, Repair and Replacement

A blocked or broken gutter is one of the most damaging faults a building can have, precisely because it looks trivial. Leaves and moss block the run, water overflows down the wall instead of into the downpipe, and within a couple of wet seasons you have penetrating damp, blown render and rot in the fascia behind. The cheapest job on the building, neglected, becomes one of the most expensive. We clear gutters fully — not just the obvious debris but the downpipe outlets and underground gully where they discharge — and flush them to confirm they run. We re-fix sagging gutters to the correct fall, replace cracked and leaking sections and joints, and where cast iron has corroded beyond repair we replace in matched cast iron on period properties or modern UPVC where appearance allows. Leaking joints are re-sealed properly rather than smeared with mastic that fails by the next winter.

Fascias, Soffits and Downpipes

The fascia, soffit and bargeboards are the timber or UPVC trim that close off the roofline and carry the guttering. When they rot — usually because a gutter has been overflowing behind them for years — the roof edge loses support, birds and pests get into the loft, and the gutter itself works loose. We replace failed fascias and soffits in low-maintenance UPVC, or repair and redecorate timber where a period property warrants it, ensuring the loft stays ventilated through the soffit so condensation does not simply move the problem inside. Downpipes are renewed and re-clipped, outlets and hoppers cleared, and discharge directed properly into gullies rather than spilling against the wall. We match profiles and colours to the existing roofline so the work reads as original rather than patched, and we handle scaffolding or tower access where the height requires it, itemised transparently.

Stopping the Damp at Source

A great deal of the damp, staining and blown plaster we are called to repair inside London homes traces straight back to a roofline fault: an overflowing gutter, a split downpipe, a blocked outlet soaking one patch of wall every time it rains. Treating the damp inside without fixing the gutter outside guarantees it returns — which is why so many damp-proofing jobs fail. Because we handle both the roofline and the internal reinstatement, we fix the cause and the symptom together: clear and repair the gutter, allow the wall to dry, then re-render or re-plaster and redecorate the affected area under one team. For landlords and managing agents we offer seasonal gutter maintenance — typically autumn and spring clearances — with photographs of roofline condition each visit, which is cheap intelligence that heads off the far larger damp and timber-rot bills neglected gutters always lead to.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much does gutter clearing cost in London?

Gutter clearing for a typical London house usually costs around £80–£150 depending on the size of the property and access — flats and two-storey terraces at the lower end, larger or harder-to-reach roofs higher. Repairs to leaking joints and sagging runs are added per section, and we confirm the price before starting rather than charging by the hour up a ladder.

How often should gutters be cleared?

For most London properties, twice a year — autumn, once the leaves are down, and spring — keeps gutters running and heads off damp. Properties under or near trees may need more frequent clearing. For landlords and managing agents we run scheduled seasonal visits with photographs of the roofline each round, so problems are planned for rather than discovered as a damp wall.

Can a blocked gutter really cause damp inside the house?

Very commonly, yes — it is one of the leading causes of penetrating damp we see. An overflowing or leaking gutter pours water down one patch of wall every time it rains, eventually showing inside as staining, blown plaster or rot. Fixing internal damp without addressing the gutter outside is why so many damp repairs fail; we treat both together.

Should I replace fascias and soffits in UPVC or timber?

UPVC is the low-maintenance default — it never needs repainting and resists the rot that destroys neglected timber. On period and conservation-area properties, though, timber keeps the right appearance, and we repair and redecorate it where that matters. We will advise honestly on which suits your property and budget rather than defaulting to one or the other.
