Guttering Romsey

Guttering on Romsey’s older buildings is rarely a straightforward plastic run. Period properties frequently have cast iron, deep moulded profiles, parapet and valley gutters set behind the roofline, and hopper heads that are part of the building’s appearance rather than an afterthought.

Parapet and valley gutters are the ones that cause serious damage. They sit within the roof structure rather than on its edge, so when they block or their lining fails the water goes directly into the building instead of down the outside wall – and it can do a great deal of harm before anyone notices.

Cast iron can usually be repaired, rehung and repainted rather than replaced, which is both cheaper and, on a property in the conservation area, often the only acceptable option. Call 023 8155 0011 for a free quote.

Replacing original cast iron with plastic is quick, and on a listed or conservation-area building it can be the wrong thing to do in planning terms as well as visually.

We will tell you when repair is genuinely viable, because on these buildings it usually is – and it is the cheaper answer.
