Hartley Mauditt Gutter Repairs

Yes, it sits within the Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex border country we work from Farnham. A quick call will settle it if you are unsure whether your address is included.

A genuine mix, older cottages with narrower cast iron style profiles alongside newer estate housing on wider uPVC. The repair approach and the parts used differ between the two, which is part of why every job starts with a look in person.

Wherever a match exists, yes, both profile and colour. Where the original style has gone out of production, or weathered well away from its starting shade, the closest available options are shown before anything is agreed.

It is the slight built-in slope that carries water down towards the downpipe. A handful of loose brackets or a little settlement is enough to flatten it or tip it the wrong way, which is when water starts pooling and spilling at the low point.

Usually not. A single joint, section or bracket fault rarely means the whole run has failed, and a repair is the sensible answer in most cases. Replacement only tends to make sense where the material itself has gone brittle along its length.

Indirectly, yes. Trapped debris holds water against a joint and adds weight the brackets were not designed to carry, which speeds up the sagging and joint failure we regularly get called out to fix.

A blocked gutter overflows along its whole length in heavy rain and clears once emptied. One that drips at a single joint, sags visibly, or overflows at just one point even when clear, is a repair matter. Describe what you are seeing and we can usually tell straight away.

The fault itself mostly, a re-sealed joint is far cheaper than replacing several sections or re-hanging a run. Storeys, access and the extent of the affected run all factor in too, and pricing follows a visit rather than a phone call.

Mostly ladders and hand tools. Repair work needs a close, careful look at the joint or bracket in question, so around 90% of it is done by hand, with the vacuum kept for clearance work instead.

It adds a bit of care rather than ruling anything out. We work carefully above conservatory and extension roofs to avoid marking them, and that is factored into the quote once the layout has been seen.

In most cases, yes. A single failed joint or union can be re-sealed or swapped on its own, provided the rest of the run is structurally sound. If the leak is actually being caused by sagging elsewhere, that gets flagged too rather than just treating the symptom.
