Small Jobs That Save You Big Money
Gutters aren't glamorous, but they do one critical job: carrying hundreds of litres of rainwater off your roof and away from your walls. When a gutter overflows, that water runs down the brickwork instead — and damp brick, rotten timber and ruined decoration follow. It's one of the cheapest problems in the building trade to fix early, and one of the most expensive to ignore.
Just need the gutters cleared rather than repaired? See our gutter cleaning service. Rotten roofline boards behind the gutter? That's our fascias and soffits page.
We look after gutters, fascias and soffits across the whole of Tower Hamlets — E1, E2, E3 and E14 — and no job is too small to call us about.
Just need a clean-out rather than repairs? Our gutter cleaning service covers that. And if the roofline boards behind the gutters have rotted, see our dedicated fascias and soffits page.
Guttering: Clearing, Repairs and Replacement
- Gutter clearing — moss, leaves, silt and the odd tennis ball removed, downpipes checked and unblocked
- Realignment and re-fixing — sagging runs re-set to the correct fall, loose or missing brackets replaced
- Repairs — leaking joints, cracked sections and broken downpipes sorted
- Full replacement — standard UPVC, deeper-flow profiles for roofs that shed a lot of water, and cast-iron-style guttering that suits period properties without the period price tag
Fascias and Soffits
The fascia boards behind your gutters and the soffits beneath them are usually timber on older houses, and once the paint fails they rot — which is when gutter brackets start pulling loose. We replace tired timber rooflines with UPVC: it never needs painting, it holds gutter fixings firmly, and we build in ventilation so the loft keeps breathing.
Signs Yours Need Attention
- Green algae stripes running down the brickwork
- Dripping or sheeting water when it rains
- Grass, moss or buddleia growing out of the gutter
- Visibly sagging runs or gaps at the joints
- Flaking paint and soft, spongy fascia boards
Parapet and Valley Gutters on Victorian Terraces
Plenty of East London terraces don't have ordinary eaves gutters at all. Across E1, E2 and E3 you'll find parapet gutters hidden behind front walls and central valley gutters on butterfly roofs — lined channels you can't see from the street. When the lining fails there's no overflowing gutter to warn you; the first sign is usually a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling. We inspect, repair and properly re-line these gutters, and where water has already got in we can handle the roof repairs that follow.
Keep It That Way
Most gutter disasters start as a small clearing job nobody got round to. An annual clear and check — ideally after the autumn leaves have come down — keeps everything flowing and catches problems while they're still cheap. That's exactly what our maintenance and inspection visits are for.
Free quotes, no call-out charge, fully insured, and our workmanship is guaranteed in writing. Whether it's a single leaking joint or a full new roofline, we'll give you a straight price and turn up when we say we will.
Gutter Replacement Costs
Gutter replacement is priced per metre plus downpipes, which makes it one of the easier roofing jobs to estimate. The variables are the profile you choose (standard half-round UPVC at one end, deep-flow or cast-iron-style at the other), the length of the run and how easy it is to reach.
As a rough guide, a full gutter replacement on a typical Victorian terrace usually lands in the £600–£1,200 range depending on length, profile and access. We'll measure up for free and give you a fixed written quote — and if a realignment and new brackets would fix yours for a fraction of that, we'll say so. Call 020 4578 5836.
