Diagnosing leak

Sorting leaking on joints on a block of flats

Repair work

This commercial customer was having cherry pickers nearly every other year to unblock this fall pipe.  We saved the £1000's by skilled ladder access and finding the cause of frequent blockages which was a retaining screw which was far too long helping block the bend.  This was replaced with a small 10mm screw and has needed no work for 4 years now.

Cause of blockage

This gutter was set too low and rain travelled down the back of the gutter - Code 4 lead sheet fashioned and installed to prevent backflow after lining inserted

Backflow prevention treatment

I was commisioned by a national company to undertake an intensive post-construction window clean in and out

New fire station

End to end seamless

This property had "backflow" behind the gutter and leaking wooden joints.  Back flow addressed with inserting material between slate and gutter.

Installing a rubber gutter lining

Heavy duty rubber gutter lining installed along entire length of wooden gutter

Heavy duty rubber lining

Awkward but got there safely!

Gutter repair

Sarah and Gavin did a great job for our gutter repair - very quick to respond to our initial query and get us booked in, very cheerful and friendly (despite getting snowed on while they were working!), and we are very happy with the repair work.  Would recommend and use again.

Would recommend Duncan and his daughter.  He was very quick to come out and give a quote, kept in contact about planned date, carried out the work when he said he was going to and did a good job.  He and his daughter were really friendly and professional.  He also gave good advice about another job we needed doing
