The service
What Guttering & Downpipes Involves and Who It's For
What it is
Guttering collects rainwater from the roof edge, and downpipes carry it to the drain. We install, replace and repair uPVC guttering and downpipes.
Who it's for
Homeowners with gutters that drip at the joints, overflow in heavy rain, sag between brackets, or have cracked or blocked downpipes.
When you need it
Water spilling over the gutter edge, drips from joints, green staining on walls, or damp patches on internal walls near the roofline.
Why use a professional
Gutters need the right fall to drain, secure brackets and sound fascias to fix to. Get it wrong and water pools, overflows or leaks at the joints.
Don't leave it
What Happens If You Ignore It
Water that should be heading to the drain soaks walls, washes out pointing and can seep into the building. Over time, it can damage foundations and cause internal damp.
The risks of waiting
- Damp internal walls
- Stained and eroded brickwork
- Rotten fascias
- Water pooling near foundations
Common mistakes we see
- Replacing a section instead of fixing the fall
- Ignoring rotten fascias behind the gutter
- Leaving blockages until the next storm

In detail
Guttering & Downpipes: Materials, Methods and Options
What makes guttering work well.
The fall
Gutters need a slight fall towards the outlet so water doesn't sit. Sagging sections and poorly set brackets cause pooling and overflow.
Joints and outlets
Most gutter leaks happen at the joints and outlets where seals have perished. These can often be repaired, but old systems may be better replaced.
Downpipes
Cracked or blocked downpipes cause water to spill down walls. We replace them and connect them properly.
Complete roofline
Guttering works best fixed to sound fascias. We can replace fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes together.
Why gutters overflow
Overflowing is usually caused by a blockage, a gutter that's lost its fall, or a system that's too small for the roof area it serves. We find which it is before recommending anything, so you're not paying for new gutters when a clear-out and a bracket adjustment would do.
Damp and your gutters
A leaking joint or overflowing gutter can soak the same section of wall every time it rains. Over months, that can lead to damp inside, washed-out pointing and staining on the brickwork. Sorting the gutter is often the cheapest way to stop a damp problem at its source.

Why JD Roofing
Family-Trained Roofers
You Can Actually Reach
JD Roofing Specialists is run by John O'Connor, who has worked on roofs alongside his dad all his life. When you book guttering & downpipes with us, you deal with John and his team from the first phone call to the final sweep-up.
The same things come up in our reviews again and again: fair, competitive prices (often the best of several quotes), a team that turns up when they say they will, fast replies, clear explanations with photo evidence, and a site left clean with the rubbish taken away. Many of our customers come back to us for their next job.
We offer free quotes on all work and a 24-hour emergency call-out, and we're rated 4.2 out of 5 on Google (38 reviews), 100% recommended on Facebook (39 reviews) and 5 out of 5 on MyBuilder (11 reviews).
Six questions to ask any roofer before you book
Whoever you choose, these questions will help you avoid the most common problems homeowners run into.
- 01
- Will you show me the problem?A good roofer should be able to show you what's wrong. We take photos of the problems we find as standard, so you can see the evidence for yourself before agreeing to anything.
- 02
- What exactly is included in the price?Two quotes can look very different because one leaves things out. Ask what's being replaced, what's being re-used, and whether rubbish removal is included. With us, the clean-up and rubbish removal are always part of the job.
- 03
- Is the work guaranteed, and for how long?We give 15-year guarantees on full re-roofs, rubber flat roofs and fibreglass flat roofs, and a 10-year guarantee on felt flat roofs. Always ask any roofer to confirm guarantees before work starts.
- 04
- Are you insured?Working at height carries risk. JD Roofing Specialists carries £1.5 million public liability insurance, which protects you and your property while we're on site.
- 05
- How quickly will you reply?If a roofer is slow to reply before you've paid, they're unlikely to be quicker afterwards. Customers regularly say we text back within minutes, and one told us seven other companies never sent a quote at all.
- 06
- What happens in an emergency?Roofs fail in storms, often out of hours. Our 24-hour emergency call-out means you've got someone to ring when it matters most.
