Guttering Repairs in Canning Town
Wind is the main enemy of gutters in Canning Town. Close to the river and the Royal Docks, strong gusts work brackets loose, lift gutters away from fascias and snap brittle sections. Ashlar Roofing repairs and replaces guttering across E16 and the London Borough of Newham, on homes, blocks and commercial buildings.
Post-war houses and low-rise blocks in the area usually have uPVC guttering, often fitted decades ago. Older uPVC can become brittle and crack, especially in cold weather, and its brackets may have been fitted too far apart. When we replace a run, we space brackets correctly and fix them firmly so the gutter stays put in high winds.
Some post-war buildings still have asbestos cement gutters or downpipes. If we suspect this, we stop and advise testing before any work, as asbestos cement must not be broken up or drilled.

Long Gutter Runs on Commercial and Industrial Units
Commercial and light industrial units in E16 often have long gutter runs, valley gutters or box gutters on wide roofs. These carry a lot of water and silt up quickly with debris blown across open sites. When they block, water can overflow into the building, onto stock or equipment.
We clear and inspect commercial gutters, reseal or replace leaking joints and repair or replace damaged sections. For larger buildings, we plan access with you and keep the work area safe for staff and visitors. Clear photos and a written report help you plan maintenance.
Newer blocks around the Royal Docks often have concealed gutters behind parapets or set into the roof edge, draining through outlets into internal pipes. Wind-blown litter and silt from open sites block these quickly. We clear the outlets, check the linings for splits and test the flow, working with the building manager on access.

- Height and access, including towers or scaffold
- Whether fascias or soffits behind the gutter also need work
