Guttering repaired for proper drainage
Small defects isolated
We can reseal or replace individual parts where the run remains sound.
Profiles matched carefully
We check shape and size when connecting new sections to old guttering.
Falls and brackets checked
We align and support the run so water reaches the intended outlet.
Stop rainwater escaping at the roof edge
A dripping joint can be irritating. A gutter that sends water down the wall is more than that. Leaks may come from failed seals, cracked sections, loose brackets or a run that no longer falls towards the outlet. Overflow can also indicate a blockage rather than damaged guttering. We inspect the affected length and its connections before proposing work. Resealing a joint or replacing one fitting may be enough where the rest remains sound. When several sections are brittle, distorted or poorly aligned, wider gutter replacement can provide a cleaner and more dependable route for rainwater.
Matched profiles and controlled water flow
Repairing one part of a run means checking how it joins retained components. We consider the gutter profile, dimensions and outlet position so a replacement section connects properly. Bracket spacing must support the run, while the fall guides water without leaving obvious low points. For complete renewal, we set out the line, secure the brackets and connect outlets before checking each joint. Directing rain away from fascias and external walls helps reduce staining and repeated saturation, so we treat the gutter as a working drainage system rather than a strip of plastic at the eaves.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the gutter overflow when it isn't blocked?
Poor alignment, inadequate fall, a low section or an outlet problem can cause overflow even after debris has been removed. We check the line, brackets and connections to identify where water stops moving as intended.
Can a leaking gutter joint be resealed?
Often it can if the adjoining sections and fitting remain sound. A cracked socket, distorted gutter or badly aligned run may need replacement parts instead. We inspect the joint before deciding whether a new seal is a lasting repair.
Can new guttering connect to the existing run?
It may be possible when a compatible profile and size are available. We check the retained components and connection point first. If the old gutter is brittle or badly worn, joining onto it may move the leak rather than solve it.
