Guttering specialists covering Bradford-on-Avon and the surrounding BA15 area. UPVC, cast iron and ogee profiles. Cleaning, repair and full replacement. Free no-obligation quotes.
Guttering problems show up as overflow, sagging runs, or water staining down the wall. On Bath's soft stone stock, a failing gutter does real damage fast — so it's worth catching early.

When it is not the answer: If your guttering is sound cast iron just needing a clear-out and re-seal, you don't need a full replacement — a clean and repair is a fraction of the cost. Read the full guide.

Guttering in Bradford-on-Avon
Guttering Bradford-on-Avon
Bradford-on-Avon's guttering market splits between conservation area period properties requiring cast iron or cast aluminium profiles, and the more modern housing on the town's fringes using standard UPVC. The historic town centre properties use traditional ogee and half-round cast iron profiles that are both visually important and practically superior to UPVC on older properties. The Avon towpath tree canopy drives above-average gutter blockage on properties adjacent to the river corridor, and autumn clearing is often needed twice for properties immediately adjacent to the towpath.
UPVC Guttering Repair & Replacement in Bradford-on-Avon
UPVC guttering repair and replacement is our highest-volume guttering job across Bradford-on-Avon. Sagging gutter runs, leaking joints, cracked sections and failed downpipe connections are all standard repairs that can usually be completed in a single visit. We carry all common UPVC profiles for same-day repair including standard half-round, deepflow and square-profile systems. Full UPVC replacement is quoted per metre including all fixings, downpipes and connections.
Gutter Cleaning in Bradford-on-Avon
Gutter cleaning is recommended twice per year across most of Bradford-on-Avon — late autumn after leaf fall and spring. Blocked gutters allow water to overflow behind the fascia, saturating the wall plate and rafter ends, which is the most common cause of timber decay at eaves level. We clear all debris, flush the system, and check all outlets and downpipes as part of every clean.

Access
Getting Safely onto Bradford On Avon Roofs
Guttering is reached from ladders or a tower on most Bath homes; taller terraces and rear runs may need a section of scaffold, itemised in the quote. Scaffold is specified for: three-storey terraces, awkward rear elevations, or combined fascia-soffit-gutter renewals - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Bradford-on-Avon's steep weavers' terraces and stone cottages climbing the hillside make access and scaffold footing a real consideration. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council; allow a few working days on streets like Silver Street, Market Street, Newtown, Middle Rank where space is tight.

Guarantee
Your Guarantee, Explained
Guttering workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years; cast iron and uPVC systems carry their own manufacturer warranties on top.
Covered: workmanship for 10 years, in writing, transferable if you sell.
On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
Not covered: storm or impact damage - that is an insurance matter, and we will document it for your claim.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
Good to know
What It Is Like While We Work
Guttering is quick external work — a day at most, minimal mess, and no need for you to be home beyond agreeing access. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Guttering runs year-round; we'll reschedule only for genuine high winds that make ladder work unsafe. The Avon valley here traps humidity and the tightly-packed stone terraces see accelerated moss on shaded slopes.

Maintenance Guide
Keeping Your Gutters Working Correctly
The Consequences of Blocked Gutters
Blocked gutters cause more building damage per repair cost than almost any other maintenance failure. Water overflowing from a blocked gutter runs down the face of the wall, saturates the mortar joints, penetrates to the inner face over time, and causes damp patches on internal walls that are frequently misdiagnosed as rising damp and treated with expensive damp-proofing products that address the symptom rather than the cause. A gutter clean costs 80 to 200 pounds. The damp-proofing work triggered by years of gutter overflow typically costs 1,000 to 5,000 pounds. The economics are straightforward.
Cast Iron vs UPVC — The Honest Comparison
Cast iron guttering lasts indefinitely when maintained — joints resealed periodically, paint maintained, brackets checked. UPVC guttering has a service life of 25 to 40 years before UV degradation causes colour fade, joint brittleness, and bracket creep. On a period Bath property, cast iron is the correct material both aesthetically and practically. On post-war housing where cost is the primary consideration, UPVC offers good value for money over its service life. The mistake is fitting UPVC on a Victorian terrace to save 200 pounds and then having to replace it with cast iron 15 years later when the planning authority notices during a neighbour's renovation.
Gutter Guard Options
Stainless steel gutter guards fitted over outlet hoppers are the single most cost-effective guttering maintenance investment for Bath properties adjacent to trees. A hopper guard reduces cleaning frequency from twice yearly to once every 2 to 3 years on most properties and eliminates the blocked outlet emergency entirely. Foam insert guards that fill the gutter channel are not recommended — they collect debris on top rather than preventing entry, and the foam itself degrades and blocks the gutter over time. We fit hopper and mesh guards only.
