Guttering Birmingham
Nobody thinks much about their gutters until water starts pouring down the wall where it shouldn't. If you've spotted damp patches, a puddle by your front door every time it rains, or a gutter that's visibly sagging away from the roofline, it's worth sorting sooner rather than later. We provide guttering services across Birmingham, from repairs and cleaning through to full replacement, for homes right across the city. Whether you're dealing with a blocked run overflowing onto the patio or an old cast iron system on a period property that's finally given up, we can take a look, tell you straight what's going on, and give you a free quote with no pressure attached.

What our guttering service includes
Gutters do a simple but important job: they carry rainwater off your roof and away from your walls and foundations. When they're not working properly, that water ends up somewhere it shouldn't, and that's when the problems start. Our guttering service covers:
- Gutter cleaning
- clearing out leaves, moss and general debris so water can flow freely again
- Repairs
- fixing leaking joints, re-sealing sections, and reattaching gutters that have pulled away from the fascia
- Partial or full replacement
- swapping out old, cracked, or beyond-repair guttering for a new system
- New installations
- fitting guttering on extensions, new builds, or as part of a wider roofing job
- Downpipe work
- repairing or replacing the pipes that carry water down to ground level
We work with all the main materials you'll find on Birmingham roofs. uPVC is the most common choice on modern housing (it's a type of durable plastic, lightweight and low-maintenance). Cast iron turns up a lot on the city's older and period properties, particularly in areas like Moseley or Edgbaston. It's heavier to work with but genuinely durable when it's properly maintained. Aluminium is a lighter, long-lasting alternative that's becoming more popular where people want something that won't rust or need much upkeep. We'll talk you through what suits your property rather than pushing one option for the sake of it.
Guttering attaches directly to your fascia boards, so if those are also showing signs of wear, we can flag that during our visit too. That's a separate part of the roofline rather than something we'll go into detail on here, but it's worth knowing the two are connected.
Signs you need guttering work
A few things tend to give the game away when guttering needs attention:
- Water overflowing during rain
- usually means a blockage from leaves, moss, or general debris
- Staining or damp patches on exterior walls
- often caused by water spilling over the edge rather than flowing through the system
- Gutters visibly sagging or pulling away from the fascia
- a sign the brackets have failed or the guttering has become too heavy with debris
- Leaking joints
- you'll usually spot a steady drip or a damp line under a join, even when it's not raining hard
- Plants growing in the guttering
- a sure sign it hasn't been cleared out in a while
- Pooling water near your foundations
- water isn't being carried away properly, which over time can affect the brickwork
Catching these early usually means a straightforward repair. Leave them long enough and you're often looking at replacing whole sections, or dealing with damp problems that have crept into the walls.
Our process
Get in touch
call us or send a message and tell us what you're seeing
Free inspection
we'll come out, look at the guttering (and the fascias it's fixed to) and work out exactly what's going on
Honest quote
we'll explain what needs doing, why, and give you a free, no-obligation quote
The work itself
our own team carries out the repair, clean, or replacement, we don't send in subcontractors
Tidy finish
we clear up after ourselves and check everything's flowing properly before we leave
If it turns out you just need a clean rather than a full replacement, we'll tell you that. We'd rather do a smaller job properly than talk you into something bigger than you need.

What affects the cost
There's no single price for guttering work since every property is a bit different. Things that affect what a job costs include:
- The material
- uPVC is generally the most cost-effective option, cast iron and aluminium tend to cost more
- How much guttering needs doing
- a single repaired section is a very different job to a full replacement around the whole house
- Access
- height, nearby extensions, or tricky spots can affect how straightforward the work is
- The state of the fascias
- if the boards underneath need attention too, that's additional work
- Whether it's a repair or full replacement
- a quick fix to a joint or bracket costs a lot less than replacing an entire run
We won't quote a fixed price without seeing the job first, but we'll always give you a clear, honest figure with nothing hidden in it. Get a free quote and we'll tell you exactly what you're paying for and why.

FAQs
Once or twice a year is usually enough for most Birmingham properties, though if you're surrounded by trees you might need it more often. Autumn and spring are the two key times to check, since that's when leaves and debris build up fastest.
It depends on the condition. Cast iron is tough stuff and can often be repaired, re-sealed, or repainted rather than replaced outright, especially on period properties where matching the original look matters. If it's cracked, badly rusted, or the brackets have failed throughout, replacement usually makes more sense long term.
This usually means the guttering has lost its slight fall (the gentle angle that lets water run towards the downpipe) or it's sagged out of shape. Sometimes it's simply undersized for the amount of water your roof sheds during heavy rain. We can take a look and tell you which it is.
Not necessarily. uPVC is lower maintenance and often cheaper, but cast iron can outlast it if it's looked after, and it suits older properties aesthetically. We'll give you an honest opinion based on your property rather than pushing a switch for the sake of it.
Yes. If a gutter's come away from the wall or you've got water pouring into the house, get in touch for an emergency callout. We offer same-day emergency response outside our normal hours of 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Yes, over time. Overflowing water can damage brickwork, cause damp inside, and even affect foundations if it's left unchecked for long enough. It's a small job that's cheap to put off and more expensive to ignore.
