Self-contained 1970s community on western edge with exposed higher ground. The 1970s semis and detached around crescents along Kenilworth Road, Carisbrooke Close, Coniston Road present specific guttering challenges: tile surface erosion exposing porous aggregate. Our approach is tailored to these exact conditions — not a generic specification applied to every Basingstoke property regardless of its neighbourhood.
We remove the existing system completely — brackets, downpipes, connectors and all. This exposes the fascia board behind, which is where the real damage usually hides. Water leaking from a gutter joint drips onto the top edge of the fascia for years before any rot becomes visible from ground level. On Winklebury properties we find compromised fascia timber more often than not.
New brackets are fixed at maximum 800mm centres into sound timber, with a consistent fall of approximately 1:350 toward each downpipe outlet. Joints are sealed with proper gutter sealant rather than relying on push-fit alone. Downpipes are sized for the actual roof area being drained, not the minimum that fits.
Standard 112mm half-round guttering is marginally adequate in light rain and overflows in anything heavier. For Winklebury properties we specify 125mm deep-flow or square-line profiles that carry 30–40% more volume. The material cost difference is minimal; the performance difference during a downpour is the difference between water in the gutter and water down your wall. the 1970s tiles are eroding to a porous surface that holds moisture against the fixings beneath.
Every gutter system needs clearing — how often depends on your property's tree exposure. We provide a recommended schedule based on what we observe during installation, and offer annual or twice-yearly maintenance visits. A £100 clean prevents the damp remediation, fascia replacement and internal redecoration that a blocked gutter eventually causes.

Call 0125 624 2410Overflow during heavy rain when the gutters are clear indicates undersized capacity or incorrect fall, not blockage. Water staining on the wall below the gutter line means a joint is leaking. Gutters visibly sagging between brackets means the fixings have lost their hold, usually because the fascia behind has softened. Green algae growth on the wall beneath a downpipe means water is escaping at the connection.
Any one of these justifies inspection. Together they indicate a system at the end of its working life, where replacement costs less over five years than the accumulating repairs plus the damage the failures are causing.
