Gutter Repairs, Cleaning & Replacement in Shepton Mallet & Wells

Blocked or damaged guttering doesn’t stay a small problem for long. Once water starts overflowing it runs down brickwork, gets into render and can end up in the foundations, so I treat leaking or sagging guttering as urgent. Most jobs are a clear-out and a check of the fall and joints, but where sections are cracked or brackets have come away I’ll replace what’s needed rather than the whole run.

I keep you posted on when I’m coming, particularly for urgent jobs, and I’ve turned out on a Sunday between Christmas and New Year for a customer who needed it sorted quickly. Everything’s cleared up and checked for flow before I leave.

Customers mention I reply quickly, quote fairly and turn out promptly, even for urgent jobs outside normal hours.

What’s included

• Guttering fitted and refitted
• Blockages cleared and downpipes checked
• Cracked or sagging sections replaced

Gutter cleaning in Shepton Mallet and Wells

Leaves, moss and silt can stop rainwater reaching the outlet. I clear the accessible gutter runs, check outlets and downpipes, and look for leaking joints or loose brackets. Clearing the debris is only part of the job: the gutter also needs the right fall and sound fixings to drain properly.

Send your postcode, the number of storeys and photographs taken from the ground. Access over a conservatory, extension or uneven ground may affect the work and price. For ongoing checks, see roofline maintenance, or ask Chris for a gutter-cleaning quote.

Find the cause of overflowing or leaking gutters

A dripping union joint, a blocked outlet and a sagging gutter need different repairs. I check the joints, brackets, fall and downpipes so the work addresses the cause of the overflow. A small leak does not always mean replacing every length of guttering.

Where replacement is needed, I check the gutter profile and outlet positions and discuss what can be kept. The quote explains which gutters, fittings and downpipes are included and how the work will be accessed.

Gutter repairs, clearing and replacement are available across Shepton Mallet, Wells, Glastonbury, Street, Castle Cary and the surrounding area. Send Chris your postcode and a few photographs to arrange an assessment.

Can a leaking gutter joint be repaired?

Often it can, but the right approach depends on the fitting, seal and condition of the adjoining gutter. I check for movement and poor alignment as well as a failed seal.

Why does water still overflow after clearing?

The fall, outlet or downpipe may also need attention. Water can overshoot or collect in a low section even when the gutter itself is clear.

Can you check the fascia at the same time?

Yes. The gutter brackets rely on sound support. If the boards are damaged, I can discuss fascia and soffit repairs or replacement as part of the quote.
