1930s cast iron guttering — many properties still on original gutters now 85-90 years old. We carry out guttering surveys, repairs and replacements across Polsloe with correct profile sizing for Devon’s above-average rainfall and rafter foot assessment included as standard. Free survey. Call 01392 759 295.
Guttering in Polsloe spans two distinct maintenance contexts: the 1930s and victorian stock with 1930s cast iron guttering requiring maintenance or period-appropriate replacement; and the post-war and modern stock where uPVC guttering has reached or is approaching end of service life after 30–50 years.
Mixed 1930s semi-detached and victorian terrace housing with concrete plain tile and welsh slate. Blocked guttering in Polsloe causes rafter foot decay over time as overflow saturates the timber behind the fascia board. We include a rafter foot condition assessment with every Polsloe guttering survey — finding deteriorated rafter feet at survey stage costs significantly less to address than discovering them later when fascia replacement becomes unavoidable.
Profile choice for Polsloe guttering replacement depends on the property type. Heritage ogee profile for the 1930s and victorian stock that carries original Victorian or Edwardian roofline detail. Standard 112mm half-round for post-war estate housing. Deep-flow (150mm) for larger detached properties with wide roof catchments. We specify the correct profile and confirm bracket spacing and outlet sizing during the free survey.
Free survey — no call-out fee, no obligation.

Repair if functional. Our Polsloe guttering survey identifies which sections are repairable and which require replacement. We don’t replace sound guttering.
Yes, if it is functional. Cast iron that has survived on a Polsloe period property is demonstrably durable. Maintenance costs less than replacement over a 20-year horizon.
