What Our Customers Have to Say
We’ve helped hundreds of customers across with roofing they can
rely on. Here’s what some of them have said:
Janice Gannon

This is the 2nd time we have used this company and yet again the quality of work was excellent. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars is that there is no written 10 year guarantee just a verbal promise. Also our eventual bill was higher than the original quote but we appreciated that the job proved to be bigger than James originally thought. Very high standard of workmanship though and we would recommend.

They did a great job of dry verging our gable end. It looks clean and modern now instead of the mess it did look like. The price was very good. All mess tidied up and took away. Would definitely use them again.

Due to our carport roof in bad need of repair, James and his team did an excellent job. So whilst they were on site and with the house roof required attention that was also reroofed. Both have been done to a speedy and excellent standard, with all debris taken away. We could not be more pleased and thankful.

Had James come in to quote a leaking flat roof and to sort out a couple of minor issues with the guttering at my mum’s rental property . He gave a quote which was reasonable and carried out the work professionally and in a timely manner with decent communication throughout the progress of the work. Easy to deal, trustworthy and would recommend working with.
What’s Involved in Gutter Repair
Gutter repair usually starts with a full inspection to identify the cause of the issue—whether it’s a blockage, loose joint, leaking bracket or sagging gutter section.
We check for signs like watermarks on walls, overflows during rain, or damp patches near foundations. Common repairs include resealing joints, realigning sagging sections, replacing cracked brackets, or clearing built-up moss and debris.
Gutters are often repaired the same day, with minimal disruption. If damage is extensive, we’ll advise whether replacement is more cost-effective and long-lasting.

Why Gutters Fail – And How to Prevent It
In Leicester, gutters often struggle with heavy rain, leaf build-up, freezing temperatures and wind. If not maintained, these conditions can lead to cracks, sagging, overflow or even wall staining.
The most common causes of gutter failure include:
- Poor bracket support
- Blocked downpipes
- Separated joints
- Overflow due to misaligned falls
Routine maintenance—including annual cleaning and checks—extends the life of your gutter system and prevents hidden damp problems inside your home.

5 Signs You Might Need Gutter Repair
Gutters often go unnoticed—until something goes wrong. Here are five early signs that suggest it might be time to book a gutter repair:
1. Overflowing During Rain
If water spills over the edge, your gutters may be blocked or misaligned. Left too long, this can cause damp patches on brickwork and even rot in wooden fascias.
2. Sagging Gutter Sections
Gutters that dip in the middle likely have loose or broken brackets. Sagging disrupts water flow and leads to pooling, increasing the risk of corrosion or leaks.
3. Green Stains or Black Mold on Exterior Walls
These are classic symptoms of leaking gutter joints or overflows. The moisture encourages algae growth and damages your building’s exterior.
4. Plant Growth in the Gutters
If weeds or moss are visible in the guttering, water likely isn’t draining properly. This increases weight and can lead to structural stress or collapse.
5. Staining Below the Roofline
Rust marks, dirty streaks, or bubbling paint below your roofline often point to a slow leak in the gutter above. Spotting these issues early can save you time and money. A professional gutter repair can resolve the problem before it spreads.
What Happens During a Professional Gutter Repair
If you’re booking gutter repair for the first time, you might wonder what actually happens. Here’s a quick overview of the process from start to finish:
Step 1: Visual Inspection
We begin by visually inspecting your entire gutter system—including downpipes, joints, brackets, and connection points. We look for signs of leaks, separation, or blockages.
Step 2: Functional Testing
If needed, we flush water through the system to test flow and drainage. This helps pinpoint any hidden leaks or backflow issues.
Step 3: Minor Adjustments and Repairs
Common repairs include resealing leaking joints, replacing broken clips, adjusting fall angles, and cleaning out leaves or moss. We carry spare brackets, unions, and end caps for immediate fixes.
Step 4: Structural Repairs (if needed)
If timber fascia boards or gutter anchors are damaged, we’ll recommend suitable repairs or partial replacement. All work is done with safety measures in place.
Step 5: Final Check and Clean-Up
Before we finish, we test the system again and ensure all waste is removed. You'll receive maintenance advice and a breakdown of what was done. Most gutter repair jobs are completed within 1–2 hours, especially when caught early. Our goal is always the same: restore full function and prevent future water damage.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions we hear from homeowners and businesses
looking for gutter repair:
How often should gutters be cleaned or checked?
We recommend cleaning at least once a year—twice if your home is near trees. Annual checks catch issues before they become major repairs.
What causes gutters to leak or overflow?
Common causes include clogged downpipes, cracked seals, broken brackets or gutters that are sloping the wrong way. We inspect all of these during a repair.
Is gutter repair covered by home insurance?
Sometimes, yes—especially if the damage was caused by storms. We can provide a written report for your insurance claim if needed.
Can gutter repairs be done in winter or bad weather?
Minor repairs and clearances can still be done in colder months. For major repairs, we recommend dry conditions to ensure seals and adhesives cure properly.
Do I need scaffolding for gutter repairs?
Not usually. Most repairs can be done with ladders or tower platforms. We’ll assess the safest option for your property and include it in your quote if required.
