Blocked, overflowing or failing gutters on Wonford’s post-war housing cause damp penetration that is expensive to remedy if left unaddressed. We clean, repair and replace guttering across Wonford with full condition reports and no call-out fee. Call 01392 759 295.
Wonford’s mature tree canopy creates the heaviest guttering maintenance demand of any Exeter suburb we cover. The combination of large deciduous trees and the relatively dense housing means gutters fill rapidly in autumn and the organic debris that accumulates creates conditions for fast moss growth. Annual cleaning is a practical minimum for almost all Wonford properties, and twice-yearly cleaning is sensible for properties with direct canopy overhang.
Wonford’s post-war housing frequently carries original or early-replacement guttering from the 1960s–80s that is now approaching or past the end of its service life. When a complete replacement is required, we recommend sizing the new system for the actual debris load from Wonford’s tree canopy — a wider box profile or a deeper half-round handles the autumn leaf volume better than a standard shallow profile. We include gutter sizing calculation in every Wonford replacement quote.
The decision between repairing and replacing guttering on a Wonford 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.
Wonford’s mature tree canopy means annual autumn gutter clearance is a practical necessity rather than optional maintenance. Leaves from the canopy reach gutters by October and can block outlets completely by November — the peak rainfall month in Devon. Properties in EX2 that skip annual clearance typically present in spring with water staining on the wall beneath the gutter, softened rafter feet behind the fascia, or internal damp at an external corner where the gutter has been overflowing against the wall. An annual inspection also identifies bracket failure and joint separation before they become emergency conditions. We offer annual gutter clearance and inspection contracts across Wonford as part of our routine maintenance programme. Call 01392 759 295 for details.
