Guttering for Homes in Golborne
Guttering work in Golborne splits between the long terrace runs along High Street and Bank Street and the uPVC on the postwar and modern estates. On the estates the original plastic gutter is now decades old, gone brittle and faded in the sun, and it starts to sag between brackets and weep at every joint. Once it does that it drops water down the wall instead of carrying it away, and the brickwork stays wet. We renew it in new uPVC sized for the run and put right the fascias and soffits behind while we are at the eaves.
We cover Golborne and the surrounding area: High Street, Bank Street, Kenyon, Church Lane, Stone Cross and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
Blocked gutters are the other half of it. Leaves and grit build up over the years, and a gutter that overflows behind the fascia rots the timber and works water into the edge of the roof. On the exposed estate rooflines that run down toward the A580 the wind drives rain hard at the eaves, so a tired gutter shows up quickly. We clear and refit where the existing run is still sound and replace the lot where it is past saving, so the water ends up in the downpipe and away from the house.

- Half round, square line and cast iron look profiles
- Old timber and guttering removed and disposed of
How It Works
Guttering in Golborne, FAQs
Yes. On a lot of the Golborne estates the original uPVC has gone brittle and dropped between the brackets, so it leaks at the joints. We renew it in fresh uPVC sized for the run and check the fascia and soffit behind it at the same time.
Very often it is. A blocked, split or sagging gutter spills over and soaks the brickwork, which then shows as damp inside. We find the actual fault along the run and fix that, rather than just clearing it and leaving the cause.
One of three things: a blockage, usually moss and leaves at an outlet; falls that have sagged so water sits instead of running; or a gutter simply too small for the roof feeding it. We work out which while we are up there, because clearing a blocked gutter that needs re-falling just moves the overflow to the next storm.
Joints, unions and brackets can all be swapped individually, and on a sound run that is the sensible fix. If the run is brittle, stained and leaking in several places, piecemeal repairs cost more than replacement within a couple of years. We quote whichever your gutters need.
Capping covers rotten timber with a thin plastic skin, and the rot keeps going underneath where you cannot see it, right next to your rafter ends. Full replacement strips the old boards and fits solid uPVC to sound timber. It costs more than capping and it is the only version of the job we are willing to put our name on.
