The work

Guttering for Kingston homes

Kingston is a short run for us, so a look at a guttering job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across KT1 and out into Surbiton, New Malden, Norbiton, Hampton Wick.

Most of the damp we get called to look at starts at the gutter. A blocked outlet, a joint that has let go, or a run that falls the wrong way sends water down the wall instead of into the drain. Left alone it saturates the brick, spoils the pointing and ends up inside.

We clear and flush gutters, re-fall runs that were never right, replace failed joints and brackets, and fit complete new gutter and downpipe in uPVC, or in cast-iron-effect aluminium where a period frontage calls for it.

What's included

What guttering covers

  • Clearing and flushing

    Gutters, hopper heads and outlets cleared, then flushed through to the gully.

  • Re-falling

    Brackets reset so the run drains to the outlet instead of holding water.

  • Joint and bracket repairs

    Failed unions and dropped brackets replaced without redoing the whole run.

  • Full replacement

    New gutter, brackets, unions, stop ends and downpipes in your chosen profile.

  • Downpipes and gullies

    Downpipes renewed and discharge into the gully or soakaway checked.

  • Period profiles

    Deep-flow, ogee or cast-iron-effect aluminium where the house calls for it.

The process

How a guttering job runs in Kingston

  1. Step 01

    Look at the run

    We check the falls, the joints and the outlets, and where the water is actually going.

  2. Step 02

    Clear or quote

    Sometimes it is a clean-out. Sometimes the run has to come off. You get told which.

  3. Step 03

    Do the work

    Cleared, repaired or replaced, with the brickwork below protected.

  4. Step 04

    Water test

    Water put through the run to confirm it drains before we finish.

Why TJM

Why Kingston customers use us for this

  • Every job is water tested rather than left to the next rainfall to prove.
  • We check where the downpipe discharges, which is often the real problem.
  • Repairs offered where a repair will do, instead of a full replacement by default.
  • Cast-iron-effect options for period frontages, not just white uPVC.

The price

Guttering costs

What guttering costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

  • Metres of gutter and number of downpipes.
  • Whether the fascia behind it is sound enough to hold brackets.
  • Height, access and whether there is a rear alley or a flat roof to work from.
  • Profile and material, since aluminium and cast-iron-effect cost more than uPVC.

On the job

  • Every job is water tested rather than left to the next rainfall to prove.
  • We check where the downpipe discharges, which is often the real problem.

Questions

Guttering in Kingston: common questions

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

My gutter overflows in heavy rain only. Is that a blockage?

Often it is a blockage or a silted outlet, and sometimes it is the fall being too shallow for the volume coming off a large roof. Both are worth sorting quickly, because it is the wall below that pays for it.

How often should gutters be cleared?

Once a year suits most houses, and twice if there are trees over the roof. Combining it with a moss clear or a roof check saves paying for access twice.

Can you match my cast iron gutters?

Cast-iron-effect aluminium is the usual answer. It has the same deep profile and shadow line, it is far lighter, and it does not rust. From street level it reads as cast iron.

Are gutter guards worth fitting?

They suit a roof under trees, but they are not maintenance free: moss and needles still build up on top, so they reduce clearing rather than remove it. We will be straight with you about that before fitting any.

My neighbour and I share a gutter run. What then?

On a terrace or semi the run often crosses the boundary. We will show you where the join falls and what can be done on your side, and it is usually worth speaking to the neighbour so the whole run gets done at once.
