We use specialised tools to remove debris and obstructions from your downpipes without causing damage. This might involve rodding, flushing, or, in severe cases, dismantling sections to access the blockage.
We take great care to match your gutters’ original profile and finish. We have access to a back catalogue of original profiles and parts from one of the UK’s largest foundry casting suppliers. Where no match exists, we can make bespoke cast iron guttering parts. We use traditional techniques to ensure a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
The process varies depending on the damage. It may include cleaning the affected area, removing old sealant or rust, applying patches or replacement sections, and finally sealing with a durable, weather-resistant compound.
In many cases, repair is possible! We specialise in restoring cast iron systems. We can often patch holes, reseal joints, and replace small sections, saving you the cost and disruption of a complete replacement.
Leaks often stem from cracked joints, corrosion holes, or failed sealant. Age, severe weather, and lack of maintenance can all contribute to these issues.
Cast iron was a popular choice historically for its durability and longevity. While it requires proper maintenance, a well-kept cast iron system can last over a century, adding authentic character to your heritage property.
