Guttering in Earley

In Lower Earley, the guttering that went up with the houses in the 1970s and 1980s is now old enough to crack, drip and sag, and the trees planted along the estates have grown tall enough to fill it with leaves. In the older streets near Whiteknights, gutters on Victorian and inter-war houses have their own wear and tear. We are about 4 miles away in Wokingham and work across RG6.

Clearing the gutters and unblocking the outlets usually comes first, because a blocked outlet is behind most overflows. Dripping joints are resealed and brackets refixed or added, and where the original guttering has gone brittle along its length, new uPVC gutters and downpipes are fitted to a steady fall.

Old timber fascias often fail at the same time as the gutters on these estates, and our Earley fascias and soffits page explains that work. For leaks into the roof, see our Earley roof repairs page, and our Roofers in Earley page covers everything else.
