Gutter Repairs
Gutter repairs are crucial for protecting your roofline. A guttering system plays a vital role in regulating rainwater flow on a building’s roof. It helps to protect its base, exterior walls and interior from damage, weathering and other water damage through cracks. With our help, you can avoid costly replacements when things go wrong. You can prolong the life of your current guttering system with a simple gutter coating solution.
Problem: Gutter Substrate Degradation
Ancillaries, such as gutters, can be neglected when addressing a damaged roof. However, when located at eaves or central valley, the guttering system is an essential component in protecting the roof from corrosion and cracks.
But due to the nature of their role, it is common for gutters to become clogged with dirt and water build up and plant growth, causing water to stand for longer than necessary. As a result, corrosion can occur at a much faster pace.
This is the case no matter the composition of the guttering system and includes rainwater gutters made from all these common materials: cast iron, lead, galvanised steel, copper, aluminium, concrete and asbestos cement.
Common Issues
- Clogged gutters can cause damage to the building as the water backs up
- Clogged gutters can lead to stagnant water build up allowing grasses and weeds to grow
- Inadequate falls leads to poor drainage and standing water which promotes substrate failure
- Slow drainage causes accelerated oxidising (corrosion) at the waterline
Solution: Gutter Repair
Gutters need to be maintained in order to prevent clogging. A regular gutter maintenance programme will ensure that roof gutters are cleaned regularly. If you spot any damage, there are various ways to repair a gutter, from weather-proof tape to replacing the whole system. However, full guttering replacements can be costly, time-consuming and disruptive. When caught in time, a suitable gutter coating can provide an effective fix. Instead of replacing an entire guttering system, this is a more cost-efficient solution and minimises any disruption.
