Along with causing damage to your home, poorly maintained gutters can also cause damage to your garden by not allowing the rainwater to drain properly. Standing water in your garden can kill plants and grass, cause erosion of the land and become a haven for mosquitoes and other vile insects. It is easy to forget about gutter repair responsibilities due to the fact that gutters are difficult to see. The experts in our network can provide regularly scheduled checks and can perform Otterford guttering repairs as needed.
Don’t Put Off Any Repairs
If you notice a piece of your gutter has come loose following heavy winds, you may be tempted to simply tie it back up and call a professional to come fix it for you later. Although you may be able to make your gutter look better aesthetically, failing to repair it properly can cause significant damage to your home and even your foundation. It’s best to get quotes from multiple professionals as quickly as possible so a small problem doesn’t turn into a larger one down the line.
Common Causes of Gutter Damage
Gutters hang from your home’s fascia and provide a means to direct rainfall and meltwater away from your home. While this seems quite simple, there are several things that may create the need for repairs.
- Failure to clean gutters frequently. The number one cause of damage is lack of proper cleaning. Your gutters should be cleaned often enough to keep them free of debris that can cause them to sag and pull away from your home.
- High winds. High winds can “grab” portions of your gutter and pull it away from your home.
- Ice dams. Failing to clean your gutters can result in the buildup of ice during the cold winter months. This ice is quite heavy, and it can cause your gutters to fall away from your home.
- Corrosion and rust. Certain materials can and will corrode over time, either due to acid rain or reaching the end of its lifespan.
- Pest infestation. Birds, mice, and other pests can make their homes in your gutter systems, which can cause significant damage if not addressed.
Otterford Gutter Repair Costs
Prices depend entirely on the condition of the gutters and the extent of the gutter repair work that needs to be done to get them into shape. Badly neglected gutters may not only need to be replaced but may lead to damage to the roof, plaster or other parts of your home which will also need to be repaired. It is much more cost effective to have your gutters checked regularly so that small repairs can be done before they turn into more expensive repairs. It can be especially important to have your gutters inspected and cleaned following a major storm.
Let Otterford Experts do the Job
Repair work may look easy enough, but this is often not the case. In many instances, there are far more repairs that need to be done than just those that can be seen from ground level – which is why it’s essential to hire an expert to do the job. When contacting experienced Otterford gutter repair companies, they will be able to climb up to the roof level of your home and assess just how much repair work is going to be needed. Once this is done, they will be more than willing to provide you with a quote to get your gutters in top condition again.

Your Otterford guttering repair questions answered
The costs of gutter repairs are based on the amount of work that needs to be done. Minimum costs are generally less than £100, where maximum costs can run upwards of £500. It can also depend on how large the house is, and how easy it is to access the area that needs to be repaired.
Gutters may need to be repaired for any number of reasons. Material can weaken with age and environmental exposure, sections may be damaged by falling debris, or the gutters and downspouts can become so clogged that they are impossible to clean.
This is not advised, as doing so will provide you with only a temporary fix. Instead, you should entirely replace any sections of guttering that contain holes or other defects.
While all types of gutters can usually be repaired, it may sometimes be necessary to replace some sections if they have broken, cracked or warped. Having them inspected regularly will help prevent a large bill in the form of replacement – if caught in time; small repairs can usually be done quite affordably.
In most cases, you can, but you’ll need to agree to each repair individually before the contractor can perform it. Typically, the contractors will inspect your gutters and provide you with a list of recommended repairs, along with their quoted price. Then, you get to decide which repairs you want.
You can use sealants and certain types of exterior paints on your gutters that will help them resist corrosion and rust, though these measures are not 100% foolproof.
Yes, and this is true whether you have traditional or seamless styles. With traditional gutters, contractors will simply remove and replace the damaged section. With seamless gutters, which are constructed of metal, contractors will need to cut out the damaged section and weld a new section in its place.
While some people are able to perform their own gutter repairs, this practice is generally not recommended - especially if you are not comfortable working on a ladder. An experienced roofing contractor will be able to perform the job far quicker and more efficiently as well.
A visual inspection normally suffices. Have you noticed that sections of guttering are leaking while it’s raining or snowing? Are parts of your guttering hanging loose or have they been damaged by bad weather? If so, you will need to call in a qualified Otterford roofing contractor to assess the damages and advise you how much the repairs will be.
