Hammer Bottom Gutter Repairs

In most cases, yes, a single failed joint or union can be re-sealed or swapped out on its own provided the rest of the run is sound. Where the leak turns out to trace back to a sagging section elsewhere, we would flag that rather than just fixing where it happens to show.

Loose, snapped or unevenly spaced brackets are the most common reason, often made worse by moss, debris or standing water adding weight they were never sized to hold. Renewing the brackets and re-seating the run is what puts it right for good.

Yes. A downpipe that has worked loose from its fixings, cracked or come apart at a joint gets repaired at the same time as the gutter, since leaving it undoes the benefit of fixing the run above.

We take on repairs across the whole year. Faults do tend to become obvious more often in autumn and winter, when heavier rain and extra debris load a joint or bracket that was already close to failing, but the repair itself does not depend on the weather.

Yes, full insurance covers everything we do at height on domestic properties, whether that is a single re-sealed joint or a full day spent replacing sections.

Yes, on every job. You get to see the failed joint, broken section or sagging stretch, followed by the finished fix, without having to go up and check it yourself.

Yes, Hammer Bottom sits within our normal round from Farnham, alongside nearby Hammer and Woolmer Hill. If you are just outside what feels like our usual patch, call and we will confirm.

A genuine mix, older cottages with narrower cast iron style profiles through to newer estate housing on wider uPVC runs. The parts and the approach differ between the two, which is why we always look in person before quoting.

We match the profile and colour of your existing run wherever that match is still available. Where the original style is obsolete or has weathered away from its starting shade, we show you the closest alternatives before any work begins.

It is the slight slope built into the run that carries water to the downpipe. It takes very little, a handful of loose brackets or some settlement, to flatten or tip that slope the wrong way, which is when water starts pooling and spilling at the low point.

A one-off repair is usually the sensible choice, since a single joint, section or bracket problem rarely means the entire run has failed. Full replacement only makes sense where the guttering is brittle throughout and a repair would just move the leak somewhere else.
