Guttering & Downpipes in Perry Barr

Gutters overwhelmed by heavy run-off

In the lower-lying parts of Perry Barr, and on homes catching run-off near the busy routes around the Alexander Stadium, the original guttering is often simply too small for the volume of water now coming off the roof in a heavy storm. It overflows over the front edge rather than draining away, soaking the wall below. We can upsize the gutter and add or enlarge downpipes so the system keeps up with a real Birmingham downpour.

Older drainage on terraces and semis

Because Perry Barr has both older terraces and interwar semis, the existing guttering ranges from tired cast iron to brittle early UPVC. We assess what is there, repair where the system is sound and replace where it has had its day, connecting cleanly into the existing gullies and surface drainage.

• Upsized gutters and additional downpipes for heavy run-off
• Cast-iron and old UPVC replacement
• Seamless aluminium guttering, roughly £30 to £45 per metre
• Downpipe and gully connections cleared and renewed

Keeping water off the wall

The point of the work is simple: get the rainwater off the roof and away from the building before it causes damp. On the lower-lying Perry Barr properties that means sizing the system for the worst weather, not the average. Trading in Birmingham since 1970 and NFRC, TrustMark and Guild of Master Craftsmen accredited, every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Sized for the worst weather

We would rather fit a system that copes with a heavy storm than one that just about manages an average shower. After looking at your roof and where the water collects, we recommend the right gutter size and number of downpipes for a property in the lower-lying parts of Perry Barr, give you a clear written quote, and leave the job tidy with the old guttering taken away.
