Blocked, overflowing or failing gutters on St Thomas’s Victorian housing cause damp penetration that is expensive to remedy if left unaddressed. We clean, repair and replace guttering across St Thomas with full condition reports and no call-out fee. Call 01392 759 295.
St Thomas’s continuous terrace housing creates a specific guttering challenge: shared party walls and shared drainage runs mean that a blocked or overflowing gutter on one property can cause damp problems in the adjacent house. We treat St Thomas guttering maintenance with this shared-wall context in mind, inspecting the full run including downpipe connections and drainage outlet condition rather than just clearing the presenting blockage.
The riverside influence on St Thomas increases ambient humidity on properties close to the Exe, which accelerates algae growth inside gutters and increases the rate of uPVC joint compound degradation. We recommend annual cleaning for most St Thomas properties and include a full condition assessment — bracket, joint, fall and downpipe — with every cleaning visit. The written report after each visit creates a maintenance history that helps plan ahead.
The decision between repairing and replacing guttering on a St Thomas 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.
