Guttering Repairs and Replacement in Ealing
Ealing’s Victorian and Edwardian villas were often built with ogee cast iron gutters, a moulded profile that sits neatly against the fascia and suits the detailing of the house. Many survive, particularly on front elevations. Ashlar Roofing repairs and replaces guttering across W5 and W13 in the London Borough of Ealing.
Cast iron ogee gutters are durable but heavy, and they rust at the joints and brackets if not painted regularly. When a joint fails, water drips onto the wall below, and a rusted bracket can let a section drop. Repairs are often possible, and where sections need replacing, new cast iron or cast-iron-effect profiles can match the originals.
Interwar houses in West Ealing and W13 more often have half-round uPVC gutters, which are lighter and need no painting but can leak at the joints as the seals age.

Conservation Areas, Trees and Gutter Repairs in W5 and W13
Ealing has many conservation areas, including Brentham Garden Suburb. In these areas, Ealing Council may expect original gutter profiles and materials to be retained or matched on visible elevations. We can repair cast iron, match profiles and suggest cast-iron-effect alternatives where they are acceptable.
The trees along Ealing’s streets and in its parks drop leaves into gutters every autumn. Blocked gutters overflow onto walls and paths, and the weight of wet leaves can strain brackets. A clear-out after leaf fall prevents most problems.
Half-round gutters on the rear of many W13 semis also collect runoff from loft dormers added in later decades, and the extra water can be more than the original profile was sized for. When we replace a run on a house with a dormer, we check the roof area draining into each section and suggest a deeper profile or an extra downpipe if the existing one is struggling.
