Gutter Repair & Replacement, Houghton
Cast-iron gutters on Victorian Houghton terraces are worth keeping if they're sound — but if the joints have failed, cast-iron-effect uPVC gives the look with zero maintenance for the next 30 years. We're regularly on roofs close to the A690, through Newbottle and Hetton-edge.
- 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 Houghton — 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 DH4 – DH5 postcodes?+
Yes — every one, plus surrounding towns like Sunderland and Hetton.
