Get a quote →Rotten fascia boards are the hidden cause of many Wilmslow gutter failures. We replace in UPVC or treated timber before fitting new guttering — never over the top of deteriorated boards.

"Gutters were pouring like a waterfall over the front door every time it rained. They came, cleared a full blockage from the downpipe and replaced a cracked section. Done in two hours."
"Had all guttering replaced on a 1930s detached. The old cast iron stuff was falling apart. New UPVC, proper ogee profile to match the age of the house. Clean and neat."
"Cleared the gutters front and back, cleared both downpipes and showed me photos of the problem sections. Replaced two broken brackets and a leaking joint on the spot."
Gutter cleaning from £80–£180 for a typical semi-detached. Repairs £80–£300. Full replacement of a 3-bed detached runs £400–£1,500 depending on length, access and material.
The mature trees lining Wilmslow's residential streets — oak, beech, lime and ash — drop heavy leaf loads every autumn. Hawthorn Lane, Adlington Road and the streets around Lindow Common are particularly prone to late-October blockages. Annual cleaning is worthwhile.
UPVC is standard for most properties and carries a long service life. For period and conservation area properties in Wilmslow we use cast iron effect or ogee profile UPVC that matches the original Victorian aesthetic without the maintenance burden of genuine cast iron.
We inspect fascia boards as part of every guttering job. If the boards are rotten or pulling away from the rafter feet, we replace them before fitting new guttering — a new gutter on a rotten fascia is a waste of money.
If gutters overflow despite recent clearing, sag from the fascia, or joints leak after resealing, replacement is correct. If overflow is caused by leaf blockage, clearance is sufficient. We assess on site and advise honestly.
UPVC half-round or square-line for post-war properties. Ogee-profile UPVC for 1930s properties. Cast iron for Victorian properties where original specification should be maintained.
Full replacement on a 3-bed semi typically costs £400-£900 depending on run length and access. Free written quote after survey — call 01625 402977.

Wilmslow's guttering requirements are shaped by two things: the town's varied housing eras and its Bollin valley microclimate. Victorian and Edwardian properties in the town centre and along Alderley Road carry original cast iron guttering — a material that outlasts UPVC by decades when maintained but fails catastrophically when neglected. The 1930s detached stock in Fulshaw Park and Lacey Green uses half-round clay tile roofs with generous eaves overhangs that require specific gutter sizing. The 1960s–80s estate housing in Handforth uses standard UPVC in K-style profile.
The Bollin valley creates a damper ambient environment than the higher Cheshire Plain towns to the west. Properties in the valley bottom — particularly along the Styal Road and Bollin Valley Way corridor — accumulate significantly more moss and algae in gutters than the same property type on higher ground. Annual clearance before the first heavy autumn rain is more important in Wilmslow's valley locations than anywhere else in the area.
Gutter sizing is frequently wrong on Wilmslow's Victorian properties that have had UPVC replacements. Victorian cast iron was typically specified at 4-inch half-round or 4-inch ogee — a larger section than the standard 3-inch UPVC that is fitted as a like-for-like replacement by many contractors. Undersized gutters on a Victorian villa's steep pitch and large roof area overflow in moderate rainfall. We size correctly for the roof area and pitch, not for the previous gutter section.
The three most consistent guttering calls from Wilmslow: cast iron joint failure on Victorian and Edwardian properties where the original hemp-and-putty joints have failed and leak at every bracket; UPVC joint separation on 1980s estate housing where thermal movement has pulled push-fit connections apart over 40 years; and blocked valleys on properties with heavy tree canopy in Fulshaw Park and Lacey Green where leaves accumulate faster than annual clearance keeps pace.
Cast iron guttering on Wilmslow's period properties can be repaired rather than replaced where the iron itself is sound. We clean, re-seal joints with modern gutter sealant, prime and paint rather than removing serviceable cast iron and replacing with UPVC. For period properties in the conservation area this is the preferred approach — cast iron profile on the front elevation maintains the character of the property.
