Guttering for Homes in Tyldesley
Guttering gets a hard time in Tyldesley because of how the rain comes in. Up on the higher streets a heavy shower is driven at an angle, so water sheets off the roof and can overshoot or overwhelm a gutter that is undersized or half blocked, running straight down the wall and soaking the brickwork. We replace tired guttering with uPVC sized to cope with the run, and sort the fascias and soffits behind it at the same time so the whole eaves line is renewed together.
We cover Tyldesley and the surrounding area: Elliott Street, Shakerley, Astley, Mosley Common, Hough and beyond (M29).

What’s Included
Up on the tops the wind pushes water back under the roof edge and behind the fascia, and if the boards are already soft the wet soaks into the timber. We clear and rehang where the existing run is sound and renew the lot where it is past saving, making sure the falls and the downpipes carry the water away from the house rather than letting it track down the wall. Sound fascias and soffits also close the gap that wind and birds use to get into the loft.

- uPVC fascias and soffits, full replacement not overcladding rot
- Ventilated soffits to keep the loft condensation-free
- Half round, square line and cast iron look profiles
- Old timber and guttering removed and disposed of
How It Works
Guttering in Tyldesley, FAQs
Often it is the gutter overshooting or blocked, and up on the exposed streets the driven rain makes that worse. We check the size, the falls and the downpipes along the whole run and fix the actual fault, rather than just clearing it once and leaving the cause.
Yes, and it usually makes sense to. With the scaffold or access already there we renew the fascias, soffits and guttering as one job, so the eaves are watertight and there is no second visit and second set-up to pay for.
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.
