Victorian terraces, Italianate villas and Federation houses. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. Whether you are near Stanmore Road, Newington College and Weekley Park or elsewhere in the 2048 postcode, the process is the same: send the details, get a price, choose a time.

Terraces, semis and box gutters

Shared walls and narrow frontages mean a lot of roofs in Stanmore rely on box gutters and rainwater heads rather than a simple eaves gutter. These need the right fall and an overflow path, otherwise heavy rain ends up inside. We inspect, repair and replace box gutters and can work with your neighbour or strata manager where the gutter is shared.

Period homes and matching profiles

Many homes in Stanmore date from the Federation and inter-war years and were built with ogee or quad gutters on timber fascias. Swapping these for a modern square profile changes the look of the house and, in a heritage conservation area, may not be permitted. We replace like for like, matching the original profile and colour so the new gutter looks as if it has always been there.

Tile roofs and gutter overflow

On the terracotta and concrete tile roofs found around Stanmore, sediment from ageing tiles builds up in the gutter as a heavy sludge that holds water. We flush gutters and downpipes, and when replacing gutters we set the height and fall to suit the tile overhang.

What we look for on Stanmore roofs

• Heritage conservation areas where replacement gutters should match traditional ogee or quad profiles
• Steep slate and terracotta tile roofs with valley gutters needing careful access
• Terrace box gutters and parapet gutters that overflow into ceilings when blocked
