What our gutter repair and cleaning service includes
Clear the build-up properly
Leaves, moss and debris are removed so water can move through the run again.
Fix leaks and sagging runs
Joints, seals, brackets and alignment are checked once the gutters are clear.
Gutter blockage removal and repairs
Gutters have a simple job until leaves, moss and general roof debris start arguing with gravity. Once that happens, water spills over, walls stain, fascias stay wet and the roofline takes a soaking it was never meant to have. Choose Smith & Son Roofing & Guttering when the issue needs more than a quick poke from a ladder. We clear blockages, inspect joints, seals, brackets and alignment, and work out whether the problem is a build-up of debris, a leak in the system or a section starting to sag away from the roof edge.
Gutter flow checks and local uPVC repairs
Cleaning alone does not always cure overflowing guttering. With Smith & Son Roofing & Guttering, we follow clearance with a flow check so sections that still leak or drain badly can be spotted before the job is finished. Some runs only need local uPVC replacement, a new seal or a bracket reset, while others are too worn or misshapen to repair effectively. Functional guttering matters because it keeps rainwater moving away from fascias, walls and foundations instead of letting damp work its way into parts of the house that should stay dry.
Frequently asked questions
Why are my gutters overflowing if they are not broken?
A gutter does not need to crack to fail. Leaves, moss and debris can block the water path and force rain to spill over the front edge. Poor alignment or a sagging section can do the same thing by leaving water sitting in the wrong part of the run.
Do you clean gutters and repair them in the same visit?
Where the condition allows it, yes. Clearing the gutter first makes it easier to see failed joints, worn seals, cracks or poor falls that were hidden by debris. That means the repair decision is based on the gutter's actual condition once water can move again.
When is a gutter section beyond repair?
If the material is badly cracked, warped, brittle or no longer holding alignment, replacement can be the better answer. We explain when a local repair is sensible and when a new section will give a more dependable result for the roofline.
