GUTTERS AND DOWNPIPES

Gutter repairs and downpipe replacement

One page covers both, because they fail together and they are fixed together.

Gutter repairs

Most gutter trouble comes down to fall, joins and the board behind. Gutters set too flat hold water, corners and joins split, brackets rust out and the fascia behind them rots. We clean gutters, fit leaf guard and replace the fascia; resealing, regrading or replacing the gutter itself is done by our licensed plumber.

Downpipe replacement

Rusted, split or blocked downpipes spill water down the wall and into the ground at the footings. Our licensed plumber replaces them, and we make good the cladding, sheeting and paint around them, with flashing behind where the water has been getting in.

WHAT GOES WRONG

Where the water goes when a gutter fails

Into the eaves and fascia

A gutter that overflows at the back sends water into the eave lining and the fascia. We replace the rotten board, the stained sheet and the trim, and the gutter gets fixed so it overflows outside.

Into the house

Box gutters sit inside the roofline. When one overflows, the ceiling under it takes the water. We have reframed roofs to replace a box gutter with a valley, and fitted box gutters with an external overflow.

Down the walls

Split downpipes and missing flashings run water down the cladding. We replace the damaged boards or sheet and flash behind them.

Gutters falling the wrong way

Some gutters were never set with enough fall. On one commercial site we found most of the gutters falling too little or the wrong way, and reported it so the plumber could regrade them.

GUTTER QUESTIONS

Gutter and downpipe repairs: common questions

Do you replace gutters and downpipes yourselves?
In Victoria, gutter and downpipe work is plumbing, so the licensed plumber we work with does it. We run the job, do the carpentry and repairs around it, and quote the lot together so you deal with one team.
Why does my gutter overflow at the back?
Usually a blocked outlet, too little fall, or a gutter with no way to overflow except back over the fascia. That water ends up in the eaves and the fascia, which is why we check both.
Can you fix the fascia at the same time?
Yes, and it is the best time to do it. With the gutter off, the rotten fascia behind it is easy to replace and paint.
Do you clean gutters?
Yes, as a one-off or on a regular schedule, with before and after photos. We look at the brackets, fall and downpipes while we are up there and tell you what we find.
What is a box gutter overflow?
A box gutter sits inside the roofline, so when it overflows the water comes into the house. An external overflow lets it spill outside instead, and it is one of the first things we look at when a box gutter leaks.
