The service
What Guttering Work Involves
Gutters collect rainwater from the roof and carry it to downpipes and drains. Guttering work covers clearing blockages, resealing leaking joints, refixing brackets, realigning sagging runs and replacing old or damaged systems.
It's for homeowners with overflowing gutters, drips at joints, green staining on walls, or gutters pulling away from the fascia. Reviews include guttering clearing in Braintree, repairs in Chelmsford and bracket replacement on a three-storey townhouse in Brentwood.
You need help as soon as water overflows or leaks. Every downpour pours more water down your walls.
Working at height on ladders is risky, and getting the fall right so water flows to the outlet is a skilled job.
The risk
What Faulty Gutters Cause
Faulty gutters can lead to damage elsewhere; each repair is priced after a survey.
Damp walls
Overflow soaks brickwork, causing internal damp patches.
Foundation issues
Water dumped at the base of walls can affect foundations.
Fascia rot
Water backing up rots the boards behind the gutter.
Ice damage
Standing water in blocked gutters freezes and splits joints.
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Ignoring a small drip at a joint.
- Clearing gutters yourself from an unsafe ladder.
- Not checking the downpipes when clearing gutters.
- Replacing gutters without checking the fascias behind.

In detail
Guttering Services
The guttering work most homes need.
Gutter clearing
Leaves, moss and debris removed from gutters and outlets.
Joint and seal repairs
Leaking joints resealed or unions replaced.
Bracket replacement
Broken brackets replaced to stop sagging.
Realignment
Runs re-set to the correct fall so water drains to the outlet.
Full replacement
Old or damaged systems replaced with new guttering and downpipes.
Townhouses and tall buildings
Guttering on three-storey homes handled safely. One Brentwood customer had a single gutter bracket replaced on a three-storey townhouse and noted that small jobs get the same care as big ones.
Downpipes and outlets
A gutter is only as good as the downpipe it drains into. Blocked or cracked downpipes and outlets are cleared or replaced so water reaches the drain instead of spilling down the wall.
Guttering Repairs & Replacement near you
Based in Great Easton, we carry out guttering repairs & replacement for homeowners across Essex, North London and Hertfordshire, including:
Roofs across the region face the same mix of wind-driven rain, cold snaps and summer heat, but the housing stock varies a lot, from clay-tiled cottages around Great Dunmow and Saffron Walden to slate-roofed Victorian terraces in Walthamstow and Enfield, and post-war homes with concrete tiles and flat-roofed extensions in Chelmsford, Braintree and Romford. Knowing which roofs are common where helps diagnose problems faster and specify repairs that match.

Has someone actually looked at the roof?

What guarantee comes with the work?
Ask what's covered and for how long. New roofs and flat roofs from Essex RoofCare carry a 10-year guarantee; repair guarantees depend on the job and are stated in the quote.
How much experience do they have?

Will they tell you if you don't need the work?
A good roofer will tell you when a repair is enough, or when nothing needs doing at all.
