Gutter Replacement in Birtley
Gutters in Birtley fail from sag more often than from splits — the brackets space out to 1200mm, water sits in the middle, plastic softens over ten summers and drops. Once it's sagging it never runs to the outlet, so it overflows behind the fascia every downpour. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Lamesley and Kibblesworth.
- Brackets set at 800mm centres, not the 1200mm many chancers use
- Correct fall to outlet (1:600 minimum) — no ponding, no overflow
- Hoppers to receive downpipes from bays and dormers, not just T-junctions
- 112mm half-round or square-line as standard; 150mm on commercial
- All new fascia-to-gutter joints sealed with EPDM, not silicone
- Downpipes clipped every 1.8m — no wobbling in a gale

Gutter replacement in Birtley — FAQs
How long does a full gutter renewal take?+
Standard semi: one day. Detached with hips and bay: a day and a half. Terrace with rear alley access: one day; front-only if scaffold is needed can be two.
Will you replace the downpipes too?+
Yes, we quote them together — replacing gutter and leaving 30-year-old brittle downpipes is false economy.
Do you offer coloured gutters?+
Standard colours (white, black, brown, grey, cast-iron-effect) at no upcharge. Anthracite grey has become popular in the last five years — happy to spec that.
Do you cover all DH3 postcodes?+
Yes — every one, plus surrounding towns like Gateshead and Chester-le-Street.
