Blocked, overflowing or failing gutters on Pinhoe’s 1960s and 1970s housing cause damp penetration that is expensive to remedy if left unaddressed. We clean, repair and replace guttering across Pinhoe with full condition reports and no call-out fee. Call 01392 759 295.
Pinhoe’s 1960s and 70s estate housing typically carries uPVC guttering that was installed either at construction or as a replacement in the 1980s and 90s. uPVC guttering from the late 1980s is now 30–35 years old and may have brittle joints, UV-degraded board colour and sagging bracket positions. We assess the full system condition on every Pinhoe guttering visit and advise on repair versus replacement based on the actual age and condition, not a default recommendation.
Pinhoe’s slightly elevated position means precipitation intensity during storm events is slightly higher than central Exeter. Gutters that are adequate in calm conditions can overflow during heavy rainfall on exposed Pinhoe elevations. If your Pinhoe gutters overflow during heavy rain but appear clear of debris, the issue is usually inadequate fall toward the outlet or under-sized gutter profile. We diagnose and correct both issues as part of our Pinhoe guttering service.
The decision between repairing and replacing guttering on a Pinhoe property depends on the age of the system, the nature of the defects, and the cost-effectiveness of repair versus remaining service life. uPVC guttering that has been in place for 20+ years is typically approaching end of life even where individual sections look intact — brackets, joints and outlets all age together. In this situation full replacement combined with a fascia inspection is usually better value than continued individual repairs. Free survey and honest advice. Call 01392 759 295.
