Guttering in Reading

On Reading's terraced streets, the gutters are shared, joined and patched from house to house, and a fault in one run can show up as a damp patch next door. Older cast iron and early plastic guttering has often cracked or sagged, joints drip onto the pavement, and back additions have their own small gutters that are easy to forget until they overflow. We are about 7 miles away in Wokingham and work on gutters across RG1, RG2, RG4 and RG30.

Gutter repairs are the most common job. Leaking joints are cleaned, dried and resealed, brackets are refixed so a run holds its line, and outlets are unblocked so water reaches the downpipe. Where a whole run has failed, new uPVC gutters and downpipes are fitted to a steady fall, and we can match the run to your neighbours' where the guttering is shared.

Water from a failed gutter often ends up in the wall or the roof, so if that has happened, our Reading roof repairs page covers the next step. Rotten boards behind the gutter are explained on our Reading fascias and soffits page, and the Roofers in Reading page has everything else we do locally.
