How rainwater goods fail
Gutters around Thatcham and Newbury face heavy winter downpours that test every joint, bracket, and downpipe connection.
- Perished rubber sealsUnion joints between gutter sections rely on rubber gaskets that harden and crack over time. Once seals fail, rainwater drips continuously down external brickwork and foundation lines.
- Sagging bracket runsHeavy moss build up or snow pulls plastic gutter brackets away from the timber. Low spots form along the run where water pools instead of draining down into the hopper.
- Fascia and soffit decayWater overflowing from blocked or cracked channels seeps behind the guttering. Over time, moisture rots wooden fascia boards and softens rafter ends, loosening the bracket fixings.
What happens on the day
A visual inspection from ground level and ladder height shows whether spot repairs will work or whether timber rot demands wider replacement.
- Assessing fall and joint conditionWe check each union joint for water staining and inspect the gradient along the eaves to see whether brackets have pulled free or warped.
- Testing fascia stabilityWe check the timber behind the gutter brackets for softness. If the wood holds screw fixings securely, a seal or component replacement is sufficient.
- Confirming water dischargeWe trace the rainwater path through outlets, swan necks, and downpipe shoes to ensure water flows cleanly away without back surging onto exterior walls.

Gutter questions
Can leaking gutter joints be repaired without replacing the whole run?
Yes. If the gutter profiles are standard and the timber behind is in good condition, failed union joints, union clips, and rubber seals can be renewed individually.
What causes gutters to pull away from the roofline?
Gutters pull away when screws lose their grip in soft or rotten fascia timber, or when the weight of wet moss and standing water snaps older plastic brackets.
Do you replace rotten timber fascias or cap over them?
We cut away or replace decayed timber rather than covering rotten wood with plastic capping, which would trap moisture against the rafter feet.
How do I know if my gutters have the right fall?
After rain stops, dry gutters should have no puddles left in the bottom. If water sits along the centre of a run, the gradient needs adjustment.
Do you install both square and half round gutter profiles?
Yes. We supply and fit standard half round, square line, and deep flow uPVC profiles to match existing installations or increase rainwater capacity.
