Guttering in South East London

Rainwater carried away from your walls

Guttering is part of the roof. When a joint leaks, a bracket drops or an outlet blocks, rainwater spills down the wall and soaks into brickwork, render and foundations, and the first sign is often damp inside. Guttering is in our name: Primefix Roofing & Guttering Ltd repairs, replaces and installs gutters and downpipes on houses, flats and commercial buildings across south-east London.

Our recent work includes complete new black gutter runs fixed to new white fascias, with every bracket set to an even fall so water runs to the outlet instead of sitting in the gutter. On older properties we deal with leaking union joints, sagging lengths, cracked downpipes and hoppers, and the blockages that build up from moss, leaves and loose mortar from the roof above.

We inspect the whole roofline before quoting, because a gutter that overflows is sometimes a symptom of a problem elsewhere, such as a short eaves felt or a slipped tile sending water to the wrong place. You get practical advice and a straightforward price. Where the fascia boards behind are rotten, we will show you and quote to replace them at the same time so the new gutter has something sound to fix to.

Downpipes deserve the same attention as the gutters. A cracked pipe behind a drainpipe bracket, a missing shoe at ground level or a hopper full of silt sends water straight down the face of the wall, and over a winter that turns into damp patches, stained render and frost-damaged brickwork. We check each downpipe from top to bottom, clear hoppers and gullies we can reach, and replace damaged sections so rainwater is carried all the way to the drain rather than onto your wall.
