Blocked, leaking or sagging gutters cause more damage than most homeowners realise. When guttering in Croydon fails, water overflows against the fascia boards, saturates the external wall, and can work its way into the roof structure over time. Hills Roofing Ltd provides a full guttering service across CR0 and the surrounding postcodes, from clearing blocked gutters and repairing leaking joints through to full gutter and fascia replacement. All work is carried out by Connor Hill directly, with no subcontractors and no inflated call-out charges.
Most gutter problems don't require a full replacement; a targeted repair is often all that's needed. The most common issues we deal with on Croydon properties include:
We carry matching uPVC profiles for the most common half-round and ogee gutter systems found across Croydon, allowing like-for-like repairs in most cases.
Gutters on properties surrounded by mature trees, particularly the Victorian terraces in areas like South Norwood, Addiscombe, and Selhurst, can block multiple times per year with leaf matter, moss, and silt. Blocked gutters cause water to overflow and run down the external wall, leading to damp patches below window sills and at the base of the wall. We clear gutters by hand, flush the channels and downpipes with water, and check all joints and brackets for defects while we're at height. We can also apply gutter protection mesh to slow re-blocking on heavily affected properties.
Where guttering has reached the end of its serviceable life, with cracking throughout, heavy discolouration, or multiple failing sections, replacement is more cost-effective than piecemeal repair. Hills Roofing Ltd supplies and fits uPVC guttering in half-round, ogee, and square profile to suit most Croydon property types. For period properties where standard white uPVC would look out of place, we can fit cast iron-effect black guttering that closely matches original Victorian cast iron at a fraction of the weight and maintenance requirement.
Gutters are only as secure as the fascia boards they're fixed to. On older Croydon properties, timber fascias behind the gutter are often rotten, which is why brackets pull away and gutters sag. Hills Roofing Ltd replaces deteriorated fascia and soffit boards with uPVC equivalents that require no painting and won't rot. We also carry out downpipe repairs and replacements, including re-routing downpipes to connect to drainage gullies where access has become obstructed.
Guttering work involves working at height, and it pays to use a roofer who treats it with the same care as a full re-roofing job. Hills Roofing Ltd is fully insured for all work at height, Checkatrade verified with independently reviewed feedback from Croydon customers, and carries all necessary equipment to work safely on standard two and three-storey properties without requiring a scaffold. Connor Hill personally attends all surveys and oversees all work. There are no self-employed subcontractors, no day labourers, and no one doing your job who wasn't vetted before they set foot on the ladder.
We offer free surveys and written quotes for all guttering work. Contact us today by phone or WhatsApp and we'll typically respond within a few hours. For related roofwork, see our Croydon roof repairs and chimney repair pages.
Minor gutter repairs, such as replacing a leaking joint, refixing a dropped bracket, or unblocking a downpipe, typically cost £80–£200 depending on access and the number of defects. If multiple sections need attention, a full gutter replacement is often more economical. Hills Roofing Ltd provides a free survey and written quote so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Most Croydon properties benefit from gutter cleaning once a year, ideally in late autumn after the leaves have fallen. Properties with overhanging trees, or those with a history of rapid re-blocking, may need cleaning twice a year, in spring and autumn. Unblocked gutters reduce the risk of water damage to walls, fascias, and foundations significantly.
Overflowing gutters that appear clear are usually caused by a sagging section creating a low point where water pools and spills over, a blocked or partially collapsed downpipe preventing water from draining away, or a joint that has separated causing water to escape before it reaches the downpipe. Hills Roofing Ltd will inspect the full gutter run to find the true cause rather than just clearing the visible debris.
Yes. We can replace old cast iron guttering with cast iron-effect uPVC in black or anthracite, which closely matches the original appearance without the weight, rust risk, or ongoing painting requirement of real cast iron. For properties in conservation areas or where planning conditions require retention of the original appearance, we can advise on whether cast iron-effect uPVC would be acceptable or whether original cast iron is required.
Not always. If your existing fascia boards are sound, gutters can be fixed directly to them. However, on many older Croydon properties the timber fascia behind the gutter has deteriorated due to water ingress from a leaking gutter, and a rotten fascia cannot support a new gutter safely. We inspect the fascia condition during our free survey and advise whether replacement is necessary before any work starts.
