Blocked Gutter in Houghton
Blocked gutters back water up under the eaves felt and rot the fascia. A proper clear-out, downpipe rod-through and joint check stops it. We don't sell gutter guards that don't work — but we do replace failing gutters and downpipes when that's the honest answer. We're regularly on roofs close to the A690, through Newbottle and Hetton-edge.
- Full clear-out, eaves to ground
- Downpipes rodded
- Joints re-sealed where leaking
- Fascia and soffit condition reported

Houghton-specific context
Inland and elevated — frost damage to ridge mortar is a more common cause of leaks here than coastal corrosion. Ex-colliery terraces, plus more recent estate housing through Newbottle and Shiney Row.

Blocked Gutter FAQs
Are gutter guards worth fitting?+
Mostly no — they trap moss in a way that's harder to clean than the original gutter. A yearly clear-out is better value.
