Gutter Repairs and Replacement in Plaistow
Plaistow’s mix of Victorian terraces and post-war housing means a wide range of gutters. Older terraces may have cast iron or early uPVC, while post-war homes often have uPVC gutters fitted in the 1970s or 1980s, now well past their best. Ashlar Roofing repairs and replaces guttering across E13 and the London Borough of Newham.
Older uPVC gutters often become brittle and discoloured, with joints that leak and brackets that have cracked. A single failed bracket can let a whole section sag, holding water and spilling it over the edge. Replacing the run with new guttering, correctly sized and fixed, usually solves these problems for many years.
Some post-war homes and blocks may have asbestos cement gutters or downpipes. If we suspect asbestos, we stop and recommend testing before any work goes ahead.

Flat Roofs, Porches and Gutter Outlets in E13
Post-war homes often have flat roofs over porches, stores and extensions, with small gutters or outlets draining them. These are easily blocked by moss and debris, causing water to pond on the roof or spill down the wall. We clear and repair these smaller gutters alongside the main runs.
Where a gutter from the main roof discharges onto a lower flat roof, the constant flow of water can wear out the covering below. A downpipe extension or a better-placed outlet can often prevent this, and we will suggest it if we see it.
On low-rise post-war blocks, gutters often run the full length of the building with only a few downpipes, so a single blockage can send water over a long stretch of wall. We clear the whole run, check every outlet and suggest an extra downpipe if one section regularly overflows in heavy rain.
