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.
