Fascias and Guttering

Guttering Installation & Repair Northampton

Guttering has one job, moving rainwater away from your roof and walls before it can cause damage, and it's a job that only works properly if the whole system, gutters and downpipes together, is installed with the correct fall and properly connected. We install and repair guttering and downpipes across Northampton and Milton Keynes.

Signs Your Guttering Needs Attention

  • Water overflowing during rain rather than draining through the downpipe

  • Sagging sections, usually from failed brackets or a fascia that's no longer supporting the gutter properly

  • Leaking joints, often from perished seals on older systems

  • Green staining or damp patches on walls below the guttering, indicating water is escaping before reaching the downpipe

  • Downpipes that are cracked, disconnected, or discharging water too close to the foundations

What Installation and Repair Involves

Getting the fall right is the detail that determines whether a guttering system actually works or just looks fitted. Guttering installed dead level, or with an inconsistent fall, will hold water and eventually overflow or sag, regardless of how new the components are.

  1. Assessing the existing system, or the roof if this is a new installation, to plan the correct gutter run and fall

  2. Fitting or repairing brackets to properly support the guttering along its full length

  3. Installing guttering with the correct fall toward outlets, so water flows to the downpipe rather than pooling

  4. Connecting and securing downpipes, directing water to a proper drainage point rather than discharging against the wall or foundations

  5. Sealing joints properly to prevent leaks at connections

Guttering FAQs

This is usually a fall problem rather than a blockage, if the gutter isn't angled correctly toward the downpipe, water can pool and eventually overflow even when the system is completely clear.

Localised issues like a single leaking joint or a sagging bracket can often be repaired. Where a system is old, has multiple failure points, or the fascia behind it is also failing, full replacement is often the more sensible long-term option.

Ideally to a proper drainage connection, soakaway or surface water drain, kept well away from the foundations of the building. We'll assess your specific setup and advise if changes are needed.

Alongside a general roof inspection every year or two is reasonable for most properties, with an additional check after severe weather or heavy leaf fall in autumn.
