Gutter Repair Service
Executive Roof & Walls Ltd provides a comprehensive gutter repair service, covering all types of guttering defects on residential and commercial properties.
Guttering problems come in many forms leaking joints, sagging or misaligned runs, cracked or split gutter sections, overflowing gutters caused by blockage or insufficient capacity, and brackets that have failed and left the guttering hanging away from the fascia. Each type of problem requires a different repair approach, and our gutter repair team is experienced in identifying the root cause of every guttering issue before carrying out the appropriate fix.
Our gutter repair service begins with a thorough inspection of the complete guttering system, not just the area of the visible symptom. A leaking joint is often the most obvious sign of a guttering problem, but the underlying cause may be sagging caused by too few brackets, an incorrect drainage fall that allows water to pond and put stress on the joint, or a blockage further along the run causing water to back up and overflow at a vulnerable point.
We identify the full picture before recommending repairs, ensuring the work we carry out addresses the actual cause rather than just the symptom. We carry out gutter repairs across all guttering profiles commonly found on properties, including half-round, square, ogee, and deep-flow systems in uPVC, and cast iron guttering on older or period properties.
We carry a comprehensive range of gutter repair materials including gutter sealant, union connectors, stop ends, running outlets, and replacement brackets to address the majority of repair requirements on the day. We provide free estimates before any work begins and complete all gutter repairs to a professional, weatherproof standard.
Leaking Gutter Repair
Leaking gutters are the most common guttering complaint on properties, and the problem most frequently reported to our team. Common causes of leaking gutters that our repair service addresses include:
- Failed gutter joint sealant where the rubber seal has hardened, cracked, or been displaced over time
- Cracked or split gutter sections caused by frost damage, impact, or UV degradation of older plastic
- Overflowing caused by blockage in the gutter run or downpipe that forces water over the gutter edge
Our leaking gutter repair team identifies the specific cause of each leak before carrying out the appropriate repair, ensuring the fix addresses the problem properly rather than simply masking it temporarily.
Sagging Gutter Repair
Sagging gutters are a common problem on properties and can lead to persistent leaking, water overflow, and eventual detachment of the guttering from the fascia if not addressed. Common causes of sagging gutters our team addresses include:
- Insufficient number of brackets allowing the gutter to flex and sag under the weight of standing water
- Corroded or failed brackets that are no longer holding the gutter at the correct height and fall
- Guttering that has been incorrectly installed with too shallow a drainage fall, causing water to pond and add weight
We re-bracket, realign, and re-pitch sagging gutters, restoring the correct drainage fall and eliminating the pooling and overflow that sagging gutters cause.
Guttering Repair
Guttering repair on properties covers a wide range of issues beyond simple joint leaks and sagging runs. Executive Roof & Walls Ltd provides a comprehensive guttering repair service that addresses all types of guttering defects, from minor maintenance repairs to more significant structural problems with the guttering system. Our guttering repair service in covers:
- Gutter joint repairs using quality gutter union connectors and properly applied gutter sealant
- Replacement of individual cracked or damaged gutter sections with matched profile and colour
- Re-bracketing of guttering runs where bracket spacing or fixing integrity has become inadequate
- Correction of drainage fall where guttering has been incorrectly pitched during original installation
- Repair of gutter running outlets and stop ends where these have cracked or become detached
We carry out guttering repair across all guttering profiles found on properties, ensuring all repairs are carried out with correctly matched materials for a discreet and durable result. Our gutter repair costs are always transparent and presented as a clear written estimate before any work begins.
Ogee Gutter Repair
Ogee guttering is a decorative profile commonly found on period and traditional properties, characterised by its curved, S-shaped cross-section that gives it a more ornate appearance than standard half-round or square profiles. Ogee guttering repairs require correctly matched components that are not always stocked by general builders’ merchants. Our ogee gutter repair service in Scotland covers:
- Identification of the correct ogee gutter profile and size for your specific property
- Supply and fitting of matched ogee gutter sections, joints, and fittings for all repair work
- Re-sealing of ogee gutter joints and replacement of failed or missing stop ends and outlets
We source matched ogee guttering components for properties and carry out all repairs to the same professional standard as our work on standard guttering profiles.
Square Gutter Repair
Square and box guttering profiles are widely used on properties, particularly on more contemporary homes and on commercial buildings where the higher capacity of square guttering is advantageous. Square gutter repair covers:
- Repair and re-sealing of square gutter joints using quality gutter union sealant
- Replacement of cracked or damaged square gutter sections in matched profile and colour
- Re-bracketing of square guttering runs where bracket failure has caused sagging or misalignment
Our team carries out square gutter repairs with properly matched components in all standard square profile sizes and colours.
Plastic Gutter Repair
Plastic gutter repair is the most common type of guttering repair on properties, as uPVC guttering is the standard material on the majority of homes across the city. While uPVC guttering is durable and low maintenance, it is not immune to problems joints fail over time as rubber seals harden and crack, sections crack under frost or impact, and brackets corrode or pull out of fascia boards. Our plastic gutter repair service covers:
- Joint re-sealing or replacement using quality gutter union connectors and gutter sealant
- Section replacement where cracked or split plastic gutter sections need to be renewed
- Bracket replacement where failed wall or fascia fixings have caused the guttering to sag or detach
We carry a comprehensive range of plastic gutter repair components across all standard profiles and can carry out the majority of plastic gutter repairs on Scottish properties.
Cast Iron Gutter Repair
Many older properties still have original cast iron guttering that has served the building for many decades. Cast iron guttering is heavy, durable, and visually distinctive, but it is susceptible to rusting from the inside and joint failure where the original lead-based sealant has hardened and cracked over time. Our cast iron gutter repair service covers:
- Re-sealing of cast iron gutter joints using appropriate jointing compound or modern gutter sealant
- Internal rust treatment and re-lining of cast iron sections where surface corrosion is causing leaks
- Honest assessment of when cast iron guttering has reached the end of its serviceable life, and replacement is the more cost-effective option
We provide honest advice to homeowners on whether their cast iron guttering can be effectively repaired or whether replacement with a matched cast iron effect uPVC system would offer better long-term value.
Gutter Repair Cost
Gutter repair costs depend on the type and extent of the repair required. Our approach to pricing is always transparent.
- Free, no-obligation estimates on all gutter repair work before any commitment is made
- Honest assessment of whether targeted repair or section replacement offers better long-term value
- Clear itemised pricing that explains exactly what is included in the repair scope
The majority of gutter repair work is straightforward and relatively modest in cost. Addressing guttering problems promptly before they cause water damage to the building fabric is always significantly cheaper than repairing the consequences.

Gutter Repair FAQs
What is guttering?
Guttering is the system of channels and pipes fitted around the edges of a roof to collect rainwater as it runs off the roof surface and direct it to the downpipe network, which carries it safely away from the building to the drainage system. On properties, guttering typically consists of horizontal gutter channels fixed to the fascia boards at the roof edge, connected via running outlets to vertical downpipes that discharge to a drain or soakaway at ground level.
How do I know if my gutters need repairing?
Signs that gutters need repair include water dripping or streaming from guttering joints during or after rain, water overflowing over the front or back edge of the gutter, visibly sagging gutter runs that have moved away from their correct position, guttering that has detached from the wall or fascia, damp patches or water staining on external walls beneath the guttering, and moss or plant growth in the gutter indicating prolonged water retention from a blocked or slow-draining system.
Can gutter joints be repaired without replacing the whole gutter?
Yes. Failed gutter joints can usually be repaired by cleaning out the old failed sealant, fitting a new gutter union connector, and applying fresh gutter sealant to form a weatherproof joint. Where the gutter section itself is sound, a joint repair extends the useful life of the guttering without requiring a full section replacement. Our gutter repair team carries quality union connectors and gutter sealant for all standard profiles and can address the majority of joint failures on the day of the repair visit.
What causes gutters to sag on properties?
Gutter sagging on properties is most commonly caused by insufficient bracket spacing brackets spaced too far apart allow the gutter to flex under the weight of standing water, gradually pulling it out of alignment. Bracket failure through corrosion or fascia board deterioration is another common cause, as is incorrect original installation with too shallow a drainage fall that allows water to pond and add persistent weight to the gutter run. Our gutter repair team addresses sagging by re-bracketing the run at the correct spacings and resetting the drainage fall.
What type of gutter sealant is used for gutter repairs?
We use quality gutter sealant products specifically formulated for uPVC guttering repairs throughout our gutter repair work. The sealant is applied inside the gutter joint after thorough cleaning of the joint surfaces, forming a flexible, waterproof bond that accommodates the thermal movement of the guttering without cracking. For cast iron guttering repairs, we use appropriate jointing compounds suited to the metal surface. We never use general-purpose silicone sealant as a gutter joint repair product, as it does not perform reliably in this application.
How much does gutter repair cost?
Gutter repair costs vary depending on the type and extent of the repair. Minor repairs such as a single joint reseal are modest in cost. More extensive repairs involving re-bracketing, multiple section replacements, or drainage fall correction will be higher. Executive Roof & Walls Ltd provides free, no-obligation estimates for all gutter repair work. Call us on 0345 257 3836 to arrange a free gutter repair assessment.
Can you repair gutters on all property types?
Yes. Our gutter repair service covers all property types from terraced houses and semi-detached homes to detached properties and commercial buildings. We work on all standard guttering profiles, including half-round, square, ogee, deep-flow, and cast iron systems. We carry a comprehensive range of repair materials for all common guttering profiles and can source less common components where required.
Is it better to repair or replace guttering?
Whether to repair or replace guttering depends on the age of the system, the extent of the deterioration, and whether the repair cost represents good value relative to the remaining lifespan of the guttering. Where guttering is relatively new and damage is localised, repair is almost always the right choice. Where guttering is old, brittle, repeatedly failing, or systemically deteriorated, replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run than continuing to carry out repeated repairs. Our team will always give you an honest assessment of which option is appropriate for your specific situation.
Do you repair gutters on listed buildings or period properties?
Yes. Our gutter repair service covers all property types, including period and listed buildings where original cast iron guttering or specific traditional profiles need to be matched and repaired rather than replaced. We work with the appropriate materials and techniques for cast iron guttering repair and take care to preserve the character of traditional roofline components on older properties.
How quickly can you attend for gutter repair?
We aim to attend to gutter repair assessments and repairs as promptly as our schedule allows. For actively leaking gutters causing water damage to walls or interiors, we prioritise attendance, recognising that delay increases the extent of the damage.
