Guttering & Downpipes in Northern Ireland

In a country as wet as Northern Ireland, your gutters and downpipes do a huge amount of work. They carry thousands of litres of rainwater away from your roof, walls and foundations every year. When they fail, the damage can be costly. RoofersNI connects you with fully insured local roofers for gutter cleaning, repair and replacement.

Overflowing or leaking gutters send water down your walls, causing damp patches inside, stained render, cracked pointing and even problems with foundations. In winter, trapped water can freeze and split joints or pull brackets loose.

Leaves, moss washed off the roof, silt and even birds' nests regularly block gutters and downpipes. Signs include water spilling over the edge during rain, plants growing in the gutter, sagging sections and staining on walls. Cleaning once or twice a year keeps everything flowing.

Old cast iron and early plastic systems often crack, leak at the joints or sag beyond repair. Modern uPVC, aluminium and cast iron style gutters are durable and low maintenance. Because gutters are fixed to fascia boards, rotten fascias often need replacing at the same time, which makes for a neat, long lasting job.

In Belfast, older terraces often still have cast iron guttering that needs repair or careful replacement, while larger estates need modern systems upgrading. In Lisburn, newer developments commonly need leaking joints sealed, brackets refitted and gutters cleared of moss.
