Blocked or Broken Guttering
Gutters do quiet but vital work. When they block or break, water ends up in walls, fascias and eaves.
Possible causes
- Leaves, moss and debris
- Sagging brackets
- Cracked or failed joints
- Undersized gutters for the roof area
Warning signs
- Water spilling over during rain
- Plants growing in gutters
- Damp patches on external walls
- Drips from joints
How it's usually fixed
- Clearing gutters and downpipes
- Resealing or replacing joints
- Replacing gutters, fascias and soffits
When to call a roofer
Book a clean or repair as soon as you notice overflowing — ideally after autumn leaf fall.
This page describes possible causes only. We can't diagnose your roof without inspecting it.
