Guttering in Shoreham-by-Sea

Is Guttering the Right Fix?

In Shoreham, most guttering jobs announce themselves before you ever get on the roof. Guttering problems show as water where it should not be — down the wall, over the edge, or pooling at the base of the house.

What to look for:

• Water cascading over the gutter edge in rain
• Damp staining or green growth on the wall below a gutter
• Sagging gutter runs or gaps at the joints
• Plants growing in the gutter — a sign it is blocked and holding soil
• A downpipe overflowing at the top or leaking at a joint

When it is not the answer: If the gutter is sound but simply blocked, a clean is all that is needed — replacing sound guttering is unnecessary spend — see our guide.

For Shoreham jobs, gutter work runs in most weather, though we avoid sealing joints in heavy rain so they cure clean.

Scaffold, Skips & Street Access in Shoreham

Access shapes every Shoreham quote: gutter work is usually reached from ladders or a tower; scaffold is only needed on high or difficult elevations. Scaffold is specified for three-storey elevations, or where the gutter sits above a conservatory or extension — always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

In Shoreham, Shoreham's old town has tight-packed period terraces with limited access, alongside more open inter-war and modern housing. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Adur District Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, East Street, Brunswick Road where space is tight.

Your Guarantee, Explained

On Shoreham roofs, our workmanship is backed by a written 10-year guarantee, with manufacturer warranties on materials on top — in writing, every time.

• Covered: our workmanship for 10 years, in writing, and transferable if you sell.
• On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).

A covered fault means we return and fix it at our cost — that is what the guarantee is for.

What It Is Like While We Work

A quiet, quick job — mostly ladder work, with debris bagged and taken away rather than left in the borders. You do not need to stay home for external work — we just need power and access agreed in advance.

Clearing and re-fixing run year-round; joint sealing is timed for dry spells so the sealant cures properly. Locally, between the River Adur and the sea, Shoreham is fully coastal-exposed, with salt air and gales attacking lead and mortar.
