FAQs
What are the common signs that my gutters have been damaged by a storm and need replacing?
Look for visible cracks, splits or sections that have detached from the fascia, as well as sagging runs or joints that leak when it rains. Overflowing water, peeling exterior paint, damp patches on brickwork and pooling around your foundations are also strong indicators of storm damage. Inside the loft, check for water staining on rafters or ceilings after heavy rain. If you notice any of these issues, a professional inspection is recommended to determine whether repair or full replacement is needed.
How quickly can you attend my property in Manchester after storm damage is reported?
We prioritise storm-damage call-outs and can usually attend anywhere in Greater Manchester within 24 hours—often the same day for emergencies. On arrival, we carry out a visual inspection, make any urgent temporary fixes to prevent further water ingress, and provide a written quotation for full repairs or replacement within 48 hours. Our rapid-response teams are equipped to handle most guttering issues on the spot if parts are in stock.
Do you work with insurance companies for storm-damaged gutter replacements?
Yes. We regularly liaise with major UK insurers and loss adjusters. Once you have a claim reference, we can provide a detailed damage report, photographs and a breakdown of costs in the format insurers require. If the claim is approved, we can invoice your insurer directly (subject to their terms) or supply all paperwork for you to reclaim your outlay. Our experience helps streamline the process and speeds up settlement.
What gutter materials do you recommend for Manchester’s weather, and what are their benefits?
Manchester’s frequent rain and occasional high winds mean durability and capacity are key. We recommend: • uPVC: Cost-effective, rust-free and available in multiple colours; ideal for most domestic properties. • Powder-coated aluminium: Lightweight, strong and resistant to corrosion; better suited to larger roof areas. • Seamless aluminium or steel: Fewer joins mean lower leak risk and a sleeker appearance. • Cast iron (for heritage properties): Extremely robust and long-lasting, though heavier and more expensive. We discuss options during our survey and match the gutter profile and colour to your existing roofline or fascia.
Will my whole guttering system need replacing, or can you repair just the damaged sections?
That depends on the extent and location of the damage. If only one or two sections are cracked or loose and the rest of the system is sound, sectional replacement or spot repairs may be sufficient. However, if the gutters are older, corroded, out of alignment or repeatedly leaking at multiple joints, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run. We provide an honest appraisal with photographic evidence so you can make an informed decision.
How much does gutter replacement cost in Manchester and what factors influence the price?
Typical costs range from £25–£45 per linear metre for standard uPVC and £50–£80 per metre for aluminium, including removal of old gutters, fittings, labour and disposal. Final price depends on: • Total length of guttering and number of downpipes • Height and accessibility of your roof (scaffolding may be required) • Choice of material and colour • Complexity of corners, valleys or conservatory interfaces • Any fascia or soffit repairs needed at the same time We provide a fixed, itemised quotation before work starts, and all replacements come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee plus manufacturer warranties.
