Blocked gutters, cracked sections, failed joints and leaking downpipes — repaired and replaced across Chippenham and Wiltshire. UPVC and cast iron options. Free no-obligation quotes.
Failed guttering causes damp penetration, fascia rot and foundation erosion. It's one of the most cost-effective roof maintenance jobs you can do — and we find most Chippenham properties need attention every 3–5 years.

Chippenham's Avon Valley location means heavy tree canopy over much of the town — particularly in older residential areas off Bath Road and in riverside streets. Autumn leaf accumulation fills gutters quickly, and blocked gutters in Chippenham are a primary cause of the damp wall problems we see on Victorian terraces each winter. We recommend clearing gutters annually in Chippenham — more frequently if you have mature trees overhanging the roof.
On Hardenhuish estate properties, the most common guttering call is sagging runs where the original plastic gutter brackets have snapped over 50+ years. On Victorian town centre properties, cast iron guttering is often still in place — we can source cast iron replacements where conservation area aesthetics require them, or advise on appropriate UPVC alternatives where that's acceptable.
Gutter clearing and clean (semi-detached): £80–£150. Joint repair or bracket replacement: £80–£200. Full UPVC replacement (semi-detached): £400–£800.

"Cast iron gutters were leaking at every joint. Replaced with UPVC that matches the property style. Done in a day, no mess, no leaks. Also found and fixed a loose fascia board that I hadn't noticed."
"Annual clean plus replaced 8 failed brackets on the back of the house. Gutters now properly level instead of puddling in the middle. Will book them every year from now on."
"Had a downpipe that was clearly blocked — water pouring over the side of the gutter in heavy rain. Found a birds' nest lodged inside. Cleared, gully flushed and a new connector fitted where the old one had split. Job done properly."

We recommend once a year in Chippenham, ideally in late autumn after the leaves have fallen. Properties under or near mature trees — particularly in riverside areas of the town — should be checked twice a year as the Avon Valley canopy drops significantly more leaf material than surrounding high ground.
Yes. We can source cast iron half-round and ogee profiles to match original Victorian guttering. This is often required for conservation area or listed properties in the Chippenham town centre. We can also advise where high-quality cast iron effect UPVC is an acceptable and more cost-effective alternative.
Usually rotten fascia boards behind the gutter — the screws lose their grip in soft or wet timber. The gutter needs removing, the fascia replaced, and the guttering re-fixed. Replacing just the gutter without addressing the fascia means it'll pull away again within a year.
Blocked or poorly maintained guttering is generally considered routine maintenance and is not covered. Damage to the interior caused by a sudden, unexpected guttering failure may be covered depending on your policy. We can provide a report for insurance purposes if needed.
Standard 112mm half-round UPVC is appropriate for most Chippenham domestic properties. Larger or steeply pitched roofs benefit from 150mm or square-profile guttering with increased flow capacity. We assess and specify correctly during the free survey.
Yes — cast iron gutter repair is appropriate on Victorian and Edwardian properties in Chippenham where the original profile should be retained. We clean, treat and reseal cast iron joints and replace individual sections where cracked. Full UPVC replacement is also an option if appearance isn't a constraint.
Yes — gutter clearing without any other roofing work is a standard service. We flush gutters, clear downpipes and check for bracket failures. Typical three-bed semi: £60–£120. We also offer annual maintenance contracts that include gutter clearing, roof inspection and minor repairs.
