Defective rainwater guttering and pipework can be the source of damp problems in the structure of a building. The guttering and associated pipework are designed to carry rainwater away from a building, and in some cases where there are defects, they can have the opposite adverse effect.
If they are not properly maintained, water can run down the outside wall, eventually causing damage within the structure, ruining decoration and/or causing mould growth. It is important to keep your guttering and pipework in good repair.
As roofers, we often see problems with gutters and there’s no better team to fix those issues than us.
Gutters can become damaged in a number of ways. Some common causes of gutter damage include:
Blockages: Gutters can become clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris, which can prevent water from flowing through them properly. This can cause water to overflow, leading to damage to the gutters and the surrounding areas.
Weight: Gutters are designed to handle a certain amount of weight, but if they are overloaded with debris or snow, they can become damaged. This can cause the gutters to sag or even fall off of the roof altogether.
Weather: Gutters are exposed to the elements and can become damaged by extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rain, or hail.
Age: Over time, gutters can become worn and brittle, making them more susceptible to damage.
Improper installation: If gutters are not installed properly, they can become damaged more easily, leading to leaks and other problems.
A common request from our customers, we can initially scope out any damage to your gutters through one of our FREE photographic roof surveys, after which we can provide the following services:
We can remove debris from your guttering and downpipes to ensure rainwater flows properly through the system, in some cases this is the perfect solution and maintenance does the trick.
