Quick Answers
How much does a gutter repair cost?
A typical gutter repair in Southend or Rayleigh costs £90–£250 — clearing a blockage, re-sealing leaking joints or refixing a sagging run. Replacing a full elevation of uPVC guttering and downpipes usually falls between £350 and £900 depending on height and access.
Why is water pouring over the front of my gutter?
Nine times out of ten it's a blockage — leaves, moss washed off the tiles, or a nest in the outlet. The other common cause is the gutter losing its fall, so water sits and overtops instead of running to the downpipe. Both are quick fixes if caught early.
How often should gutters be cleared in Essex?
Once a year for most homes, twice a year if you have overhanging trees — which is common on the older tree-lined roads in Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff and Thorpe Bay. Autumn is the sensible time to book.
Can you repair cast iron guttering rather than replace it?
Yes. On period properties we descale, re-seal joints, replace individual cracked sections and repaint rather than stripping the whole run — keeping the original look while stopping the leak.

Blocked Gutters
Blocked gutters cause water to overflow, potentially damaging walls, foundations and fascias. We clear debris, leaves and moss to restore proper water flow and prevent future blockages.
Leaking Gutters
Leaking joints, cracks and holes in guttering lead to water running down walls and causing damp. We repair or replace damaged sections to stop leaks and protect your property.
Downpipe Repairs
Cracked, blocked or disconnected downpipes can cause water to pool around your foundations. We repair and replace downpipes to ensure proper drainage away from your property.
Gutter Cleaning
Regular gutter cleaning prevents blockages and extends the life of your guttering system. We provide thorough cleaning services to keep your gutters flowing freely.
Gutter Replacement
When gutters are beyond repair, we provide full replacement using high-quality uPVC or cast iron systems. We ensure proper alignment and fall for efficient water drainage.
uPVC vs Cast Iron vs Aluminium Guttering — Which Should You Choose?
The right guttering depends on the age of the property, the look you want and how much maintenance you're willing to do. Here is how the three systems compare on Essex homes.
| uPVC | Cast iron | Aluminium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost (semi, full replacement) | £650–£1,100 | £2,500–£5,000+ | £1,800–£3,200 |
| Expected lifespan | 20–25 years | 50–100 years if maintained | 30–50 years |
| Maintenance | Clear twice a year, no painting | Repaint every 5–8 years, treat rust | Clear twice a year, no painting |
| Weight and fixing | Light — fixes to standard fascia | Very heavy — needs sound timber or brackets into masonry | Light — seamless runs formed on site |
| Best for | Most modern Essex semis and 1960s–1990s housing | Victorian and Edwardian properties, conservation areas | Larger or period-look homes wanting low maintenance |
Materials We Use
- uPVC half-round and square-line guttering
- Standard 112mm and 114mm systems in white, black, brown and anthracite grey, matched to your existing profile so repairs are invisible from the ground.
- Cast iron and cast-effect aluminium
- For period homes in Leigh, Westcliff and Southend conservation streets we supply genuine cast iron or lighter cast-effect aluminium that keeps the heritage look without the weight.
- Deep-flow guttering
- Where a roof sheds a lot of water — large pitches, converted extensions — we upsize to deep-flow to stop overtopping in heavy Essex downpours.
- Gutter brackets and leaf guards
- Rise-and-fall brackets at correct centres, plus mesh leaf guards on properties with overhanging trees to cut down repeat blockages.
