Guttering in Twickenham
Guttering in Twickenham
Twickenham’s housing varies from Victorian terraces near the town centre and the Edwardian streets of St Margarets in TW1 to the interwar semis of Whitton and much of TW2. Gutters vary just as much: cast iron on many older houses, uPVC on most interwar and later homes. Ashlar Roofing repairs and replaces guttering across both postcode districts in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
uPVC gutters on interwar homes have often been in place for thirty years or more. Their joints leak as the seals age, and brackets crack or loosen. Cast iron gutters on older houses rust if not painted, and heavy sections can sag when brackets fail.
Riverside trees, Marble Hill Park and Crane Park drop leaves into gutters each autumn, and blockages are a common cause of overflow.

Leaking Gutters and Damp Walls in TW1 and TW2
A leaking or overflowing gutter sends water down the wall below. On solid brick walls in older houses, that can lead to damp inside. On cavity walls in interwar homes, it can soak the outer leaf and stain render or brickwork. Fixing the gutter stops the water at its source.
In St Margarets and other conservation areas, front gutters on period houses should be replaced with matching materials. We can repair cast iron, fit new cast iron or suggest cast-iron-effect uPVC where it is acceptable.
Whitton’s interwar semis often have their downpipes set at the corners of the hip, discharging into gullies that have silted up over the years. A gutter can be perfectly clear and still overflow if the gully at the bottom is blocked. We run water through the whole system, from the gutter to the drain, so the real cause is found rather than guessed.
