Gutter specialist

Overflowing or damaged rainwater goods need a clearly identified scope. Describe whether the problem is leakage, blockage, missing sections or a planned replacement, and show the building elevation from a safe position so access and the route of the water can be discussed.

Service scope

Inspection, repair, replacement and maintenance of above-ground roof rainwater goods, including gutters, outlets and downpipes. The service connects the roof collection system to its agreed discharge point without automatically including below-ground drainage or general roof replacement.

What is normally included

  • Roof rainwater-system assessment
  • Gutter and downpipe work
  • Maintenance and discharge-interface checks

What is not included

  • Automatic replacement of the entire roof
  • Unspecified underground drainage excavation

Typical tasks

  • Identify the rainwater-system layout
  • Inspect accessible gutters and outlets
  • Separate repair from replacement needs
  • Check the downpipe discharge interface
  • Explain maintenance and further-investigation requirements

What to include in your brief

  • Affected building elevations
  • Reported leaks or overflow
  • Existing gutter material and shape
  • Building height and access
  • Photographs and previous work

Choosing the right professional

Choose a specialist who assesses the whole affected run rather than assuming the visible drip identifies every defect. Ask what access equipment, compatible parts, checks and disposal are included, and where responsibility passes to a drainage or roofing contractor.

Important considerations

  • Small gutter jobs can still involve serious work-at-height hazards
  • A blocked or unsuitable discharge route can undermine new rainwater goods
