Guttering & Downpipes in Newcastle.

New gutters, downpipes and hoppers supplied and fitted, plus repairs to leaking joints and sagging runs. Guttering is the cheapest part of your roof and the one most likely to be soaking your walls every time it rains.

What failing guttering actually costs you

A leaking joint puts water down the same patch of wall every time it rains. Over a winter that saturates the brickwork, and saturated brickwork means damp on the inside wall, perished pointing and, at the eaves, rotten fascia and rafter ends. The guttering itself is one of the cheapest things on the house to put right. The damage it causes while you leave it is not.

What we fit

Standard half-round and square uPVC in white, black or grey, deepflow for roofs that shed a lot of water, and cast-iron-effect aluminium for period properties where plastic looks wrong. On repairs we'll re-align and re-bracket a sound run rather than sell you a replacement you don't need. If the fascia behind it is soft, see fascias and soffits — there's no point hanging new gutter on rotten timber.

Can you repair my gutter or does it need replacing?

Often a repair is enough — leaking joints, a dropped bracket or a run that's lost its fall can all be corrected. We'll tell you which yours needs. Replacement makes sense when the plastic has gone brittle or the fascia behind it is failing.

What's deepflow guttering?

A deeper profile that carries more water. Worth it on large roof areas, steep pitches, or anywhere your existing gutter overshoots in heavy rain.

Can you match cast iron?

Yes — aluminium and heavy-duty uPVC systems in a cast-iron profile look right on period properties and cost far less than real cast iron, with none of the rust.
