Roof Gutters
Information on the types of guttering available
Plastic Upvc Gutters
Upvc plastic guttering is by far the easiest to install on a property, long lasting and easy to repair. Visit our gutter profiles page for more information.
It is also cost effective and readily available from a wide range of suppliers and manufacturers many of which offer online ordering.
See our list of national upvc guttering suppliers.
Cast Iron Guttering
Cast iron gutters were once hugely popular and were once installed on almost every period property. With the widespread use of Upvc plastic it became obsolete.
However there has been a resurgence of cast iron guttering in recent years partly due its aesthetic appeal.
Aluminium Gutters
Aluminium roof guttering can be formed on site with a seamless extrusion machine or a more rigid form of the gutter can be manufactured and sold through specialist trade stores or online.
Seamless aluminium guttering has a powder coated finish and as there are no joints in the gutter length the possiblities for leaks are reduced.
Gutter Guard
Gutter guards are designed to keep moss, leaves and twigs out of both the gutter and the rainwater downpipe where they can cause blockages that are expensive to fix.
