Cast iron gutters repair & replacement

Cast iron gutter restoration and maintenance

Cast iron gutters are tough and durable but can suffer from wear and tear over time. We specialise in repairing and replacing gutters and downpipes, as well as fascias and roofs, ensuring your property is protected from water damage.

Gutters are in the first line of defence against water ingress and the resulting damage to your property. While cast-iron guttering lasts for a very long time and can withstand the worst vagaries of our Scottish weather for many years, it will eventually deteriorate.

Fixing any damage promptly will extend the working life of gutters, delaying the need for replacement. Many gutter leaks occur on joints, and tightening the joints will go a long way towards keeping your home dry.
In some cases, the gutters might need levelling up, or brackets need replaced. This will improve the fall of the gutter and might prevent overflowing in heavy rain. It makes sense to fix any such issues early on.

Gutter leak tracing & repair

Detection and repair of gutter and downpipe leaks

Keep your gutters in top shape. Our skilled technicians will locate the source of the problem and provide quick, effective repairs to keep your gutters working like they should.

Just as with repairing more obvious damage, finding the source of a leak in the guttering and promptly fixing whatever is causing it will go a long way towards preventing water damage to your house. This way, larger scale damage to the guttering as well as the house itself can be avoided at a relatively low cost.

Tracing the source of a leak in the guttering is not always completely straightforward. What might appear as a damaged gutter could turn out to be an issue with the gutter levelling, or even one blocked downpipe out of several. Careful investigation usually allows for reliable identifying of the source of problems and repair. This kind of investigation is ideally done during a moderate to heavy rain.

Whether your roof has suffered from storm damage, general wear and tear, or a bit of neglect, we understand the disruption and stress that roof problems and water ingress cause, and we will do everything we can to provide the best solution for your needs: long-lasting, safe, and fairly priced.

Gutter cleaning & maintenance

Professional cleaning and maintenance of guttering systems

Prevent water damage and protect your home with regular gutter cleaning and maintenance services. We will remove debris and unclog downpipes to ensure proper water flow.

Guttering that works is crucial for keeping your property dry. Blocked gutters mean water not draining correctly from your roof. This is true about rainwater and snowmelt.

Water that’s not correctly drained via gutters and downpipes will find its way down: it might overflow the blocked gutter, it might seep into spaces between the guttering and the soffit/facia. This way it might end up hitting a specific spot on the wall, window or another part of the building, and damaging it. Walls and joinery are not built to withstand concentrated attack from streams of water.

Badly drained rainwater accumulating at the ground level can also undermine the foundations. That’s why keeping the gutters clear will ensure your home remains dry, safe and structurally sound for much longer. Contact us today to book your gutter clean.

Downpipe repair & painting

Downpipe replacement, painting and repairs

Are your downpipes in need of repair or a fresh coat of paint?
Downpipes are an essential part of the building drainage system. The water flowing in the gutters needs the downpipes to flow safely away from the roof, walls and foundations of the building. That’s why keeping the downpipes in a good condition is as essential as maintaining the free flow of water in the gutters.

It is also important to keep the downpipes from getting blocked by making sure that downpipe heads are protected by suitable mesh devices. In the case of blocked downpipes, correct rodding techniques will help avoid transferring the blockage underground, where it would be much harder to deal with.

Removing vegetation from downpipe joints will protect not just the downpipe itself, but the nearby masonry joints from damage. And in addition to the aesthetic appeal, maintaining the paintwork on the downpipes in good condition will prevent them from prematurely rusting and ageing.

Gutter repair Edinburgh -Frequently asked questions

If you have any other questions, just drop us a line.

How often should I clean my gutters?

It is recommended to clean your gutters at least twice a year, in the spring and in the autumn. If you have a lot of trees near your home, you may need to clean your gutters more frequently to prevent clogging. 

If you cannot get the gutter cleaning done twice a year, have them cleaned in the autumn, after most of the leaves are off the trees, in preparation for all the hard work during the winter rains.

Can gutter damage be repaired, or do they need to be replaced?

In many cases damaged gutters can be repaired. This depends on the specific situation, and the material the gutter is made of. With uPVC gutters, replacing a section might be the simplest and cheapest solution. With cast iron gutters, various options for repair exist. 

Often, the leak is not caused by damage to the actual gutter, but by a joint that’s not sealed properly and requires tightening, or by problems with the fall of the gutter leading to overflow, or by blockages further down the line. It’s always worth getting a professional assessment, especially for cast iron guttering.

How can I tell if my gutters need to be repaired or replaced?

The most obvious sign that your gutters might need to be replaced or repaired is leaks: have a good look at your guttering during heavy rain, and see if the water is coming out where it shouldn’t. In many cases such a “leak” would be actually caused by a blocked or otherwise overflowing gutter, rather than actual damage.

Cleaning and clearing the gutters, and repeating the observations, will show more reliably whether there is damage that needs work to fix. Cast iron gutters are extremely durable and well-maintained cast iron gutters can last for 100 years or more.

Why is it important to keep my gutters clean?

Blocked and clogged gutters don’t work as well at keeping water from the roof and walls of the building. This can lead to superficial and structural water damage and result in high repair costs down the line. 

Gutters that don’t get regularly cleaned don’t last as long, and might need to be replaced much sooner. 

When full of debris, they make your house look unkempt and provide perfect breeding ground for pests and vermin. Blocked gutters can lead to blockages in the downpipes and underground drainage pipes, which are much harder and more expensive to clear. Altogether, it’s much easier and cheaper to keep the gutters clean!

Do you use scaffolding, ladders, ropes or vacuum cleaners to clean gutters?

We don’t use vacuum cleaners, but clean gutters from the gutter level, which allows us to see exactly what we are doing, where we are scraping and what we are removing. This way, we can not only clean the gutters and downpipe heads effectively, but also inspect the state of the gutters and the surrounding joinery and slates as well as brackets at the same time. If we find small scale problems that need to be fixed, we might be able to do it at the time, and if it isn't possible, advise our customers of the need for such repairs. 

The choice between rope access, ladders or other access methods depends entirely on the building. In most cases ladders and/or ropes are sufficient, but if working high above busy pedestrian areas, additional safety features (e.g. a crash deck) might be needed. We will always choose the best access technique for the job, ensuring top quality AND safety of all concerned.
