📞 Call Now: 0172 223 9611Guttering failures in Andover are shaped by the town's New Town character. The large stock of 1970s-80s estate housing has uPVC guttering systems that are now 30-40 years old. The material has yellowed and become brittle, the joint seals have compressed and cracked, and the bracket fixings — originally screwed into timber fascia that is itself now weathered — have begun to pull away from the soffit line. The result is gutters that are nominally present but directing water back along the fascia board rather than away from the building.
The Hampshire Downs rainfall pattern at Andover means intense localised downpours rather than the prolonged drizzle of the west country. When a failed gutter is hit with a 30-minute high-intensity rainfall event, the volume of water tracking back into the fascia and brickwork is significant. We see more damp penetration from gutter failure in Andover than from actual roof failure — the fix is straightforward and much cheaper than addressing the resulting damp.

Guttering problems show up as water where it shouldn't be — over the edge, down the wall, or pooling at the base.
When it is not the answer: A blocked gutter usually just needs clearing, not replacing — we'll clear and test before recommending any new guttering. Read the full guide.
We check the runs, falls, joints and fixings, and the fascia behind them for rot.
Itemised quote for repair, re-fix or full replacement in the profile and colour you want.
Usually booked within days; a straightforward run is a single visit.
We renew or re-fix the guttering with correct falls to the outlets, and replace any rotten fascia behind it.
Runs flushed and tested, ground cleared, guarantee handed over.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Clear and re-fix a run | 1–2 hours |
| Replace one elevation | Half a day |
| Full house re-gutter | 1 day |
| Guttering with fascia/soffit renewal | 1–2 days |
Guttering goes in almost any weather, though we test falls in the dry.
Most guttering runs from ladders or a tower. Scaffold is specified for: three-storey runs, awkward rear elevations, or where fascia and soffit are being renewed at the same time - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces near the old town with very large post-war and modern estates around them; extensive concrete-tile stock. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Test Valley Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like the older streets around the centre where space is tight.

No deposit on repairs under £500; staged payments on larger jobs with nothing up front before materials are on site. Repairs are standard-rated; a full re-roof usually attracts 5% VAT.
Covering SP10, SP11 and surrounding postcodes.
Workmanship guaranteed for up to 10 years; uPVC and aluminium systems carry their own manufacturer warranties.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
External only, a few hours to a day, with ladders or a tower against the wall — minimal disruption inside. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Guttering work runs year-round; heavy rain during install simply confirms the falls are right. Test valley town on the chalk; exposed edges catch the wind.
"Guttering on the 1980s detached had been running back for years. Full replacement in half a day, drains perfectly now. Straightforward job done properly."
"Annual gutter clean — reliable, on time, sorted a blocked downpipe while they were up there. Good value."
Gutters get attention when they overflow, but blocked or cracked downpipes cause equally serious damage and are routinely missed. A blocked downpipe causes the entire connected gutter run to overflow at the outlet. A cracked mid-section discharges water directly against the wall. A disconnected base elbow deposits water against the foundation. We inspect all downpipes as part of every gutter visit and report on any issues as part of our standard free survey.
Full uPVC replacement on a standard Andover semi costs £300-£800. Detached properties more depending on the run length. Cleaning from £80. Free, accurate quotes.
Annual cleaning is recommended for most Andover properties. Those near trees or with north-facing gutters may need twice-yearly clearing.
Yes — we often find fascia and soffit deterioration when assessing guttering. We can combine both works in a single visit for better value.
Yes — all of Andover and surrounding SP10 villages including Charlton, Foxcott, Weyhill and Enham Alamein.
Once a year in late autumn is sufficient for most Andover properties. Properties with significant tree overhang — more common in the older residential streets north of the High Street — may benefit from twice-yearly clearing. Andover's open chalk plain position means wind-blown debris also deposits into gutters throughout the year, but the main volume comes from autumn leaf fall.
UPVC for most post-war and modern properties — maintenance-free, durable and cost-effective. Cast iron for Victorian and Edwardian properties where it was originally fitted — it is repairable, long-lasting when maintained, and visually correct. We do not recommend replacing original cast iron guttering with UPVC on period properties.
Yes. Standard domestic guttering is 112mm half-round or 112mm square profile. For properties on exposed positions with large roof catchment areas, 150mm deep-flow guttering handles significantly higher water volumes. We can assess whether your current guttering is undersized for your roof catchment and quote for a capacity upgrade where warranted.
Andover is one of the largest towns in our coverage area and the guttering call profile reflects the scale and character of its housing. The New Town estate housing from the 1960s-80s carries predominantly UPVC guttering now 40-60 years old — brackets fail, sections crack at connectors, and outlets deteriorate. The older Victorian stock around the town centre carries original cast iron that needs periodic joint resealing and painting. The open Hampshire Downs position means gutter blockages from wind-blown debris are more common than at sheltered valley sites — dust and organic material from the surrounding farmland deposits into gutters throughout the year, supplementing the autumn leaf volume.
