Guttering in Hyde

Yes. We'll choose a system that suits the house, whether that's cast iron, a cast-iron-effect plastic or a standard profile, and fix it securely to the stonework or fascia. On terraces, we'll also make sure the new gutter joins neatly to your neighbours' and falls the right way.

If the boards are rotten or flaking, yes. New gutters need a solid fixing, and replacing the fascias later means taking the new gutters down again. If the fascias are sound, we'll leave them alone and just deal with the guttering. We check them as part of every quote.

Once a year suits most houses. If you're close to trees, or your roof grows a lot of moss, twice a year is better, typically late autumn after the leaves drop and again in spring. A blocked gutter in winter can freeze, crack and spill water down the walls.

Yes. A cracked, blocked or disconnected downpipe is often the real reason a gutter overflows or a wall stays damp. We'll replace damaged sections, clear any blockage and check that the downpipe discharges properly into the drain or gully at ground level.

Yes. Ventilated soffits help air move through the loft and reduce condensation. We include ventilation where the roof needs it and make sure loft insulation isn't pushed into the eaves blocking that airflow, which is a common cause of damp roof timbers.
