Gutter repair might not sit at the top of anyone’s to-do list — until water starts running down a wall or pooling next to the foundations. At that point, a problem that could have been sorted in under an hour has already caused real damage. We deal with gutter repairs day in, day out, across Cardiff, Penarth, Barry, Caerphilly, and the wider South Wales area. Whether it is a single leaking joint on a terraced house in Pontypridd or a full section of failed guttering on a commercial unit in Newport, our team carries the parts and the know-how to put it right on the first visit.
We work with all common guttering types — uPVC half-round and square-line profiles, cast iron systems on older and period properties, and aluminium guttering where fitted. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee, and all quotes are free with no obligation attached.

Common Guttering
Problems We Fix
Guttering faults tend to fall into a handful of categories, and most of them are straightforward to resolve when caught early. Left unchecked, though, even a minor drip from a failed joint can lead to saturated brickwork, internal damp, and timber decay — none of which are cheap to put right.
Leaking Gutter Joints
The rubber seals inside gutter connectors perish over time, particularly on south-facing elevations where UV exposure is highest. We reseal or replace the affected unions and check the adjacent sections while we are up there.
Sagging or Misaligned Gutters
Brackets corrode, timber fascias soften, and fixings work loose — especially on properties in exposed locations around the Bridgend and Vale of Glamorgan coast. We refix brackets, replace damaged ones, and realign the gutter run so water flows toward the downpipe as it should.
Blocked Gutters & Downpipes
Moss, leaves, and general debris build up surprisingly fast — especially during autumn and in areas with overhanging trees. A blocked gutter overflows rather than draining, sending water straight down the face of the wall. We clear blockages and can advise on leaf guards if the problem keeps recurring.
Cracked or Split Sections
Temperature swings through winter cause uPVC to expand and contract. Over several seasons, this can result in hairline cracks that grow wider and eventually split the gutter channel. We cut out and replace the damaged section, matching the profile and colour to the existing run.
Damaged Downpipes
Loose clips, cracked pipes, and failed shoe fittings are all common — particularly on older properties in areas like Splott, Canton, and Grangetown where original cast iron systems are still in place. We repair or replace downpipe sections and re-route where needed.
Cast Iron & Heritage Guttering
Older cast iron systems need careful handling — the material is heavy, brittle, and the fixings are often corroded. We have experience repairing and patching cast iron guttering without needing a full replacement. For listed properties, we can source matching components to meet planning requirements.
Act Early
Why Gutter Repairs
Should Not Be Delayed
It is tempting to ignore a dripping gutter — particularly when the leak only shows during heavy rain. But water is persistent, and it does not take long for a minor fault to escalate.
A leaking gutter can saturate the brickwork directly below, drawing moisture into the wall cavity and eventually into the plaster on the inside. In winter, trapped moisture freezes and expands, which accelerates the damage further. We have attended properties in Swansea and across the Valleys where what started as a dripping joint led to hundreds of pounds in replastering and redecoration — all avoidable with a repair that would have taken half a morning.
If your guttering is showing any signs of dripping, sagging, overflow during rain, staining on exterior walls, or damp patches inside the property, it is worth getting it looked at sooner rather than later. We offer free inspections and can usually provide a quote on the same visit.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Wales
Roofing & Guttering
We have been repairing, fitting, and maintaining guttering across Wales for over 15 years. That kind of hands-on time counts for something — particularly when working on older Welsh housing stock, where original fixings, non-standard profiles, and corroded ironwork all present challenges that a less experienced team might overlook or mishandle.
Our Own Team, Every Time
We do not subcontract gutter repairs. The people who arrive at your property work for us directly, which means accountability sits with us from start to finish. If something needs discussing on site, you are speaking to the person doing the work — not a third party relaying messages.
Parts That Last
We stock branded replacement parts from established suppliers. Cheaper components might knock a few pounds off the bill, but they rarely hold up in the Welsh climate. Our approach is to fit it once, fit it properly, and not have to come back for the same issue six months down the line.
No Hidden Costs
We quote before we start, and if we find anything unexpected once the work is underway — which does happen on older properties — we will explain the options and agree the way forward before carrying on. Every completed repair is documented with photographs so you have a clear record of what was done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gutter Repair
FAQs
We get asked these questions regularly. If yours is not covered here, give us a ring and we will do our best to help.
How much does gutter repair cost in Cardiff?
It depends on the nature and extent of the fault. A straightforward joint reseal or bracket replacement on a standard semi-detached house typically costs less than you might expect — often in the region of £80 to £200 for a minor repair. Larger jobs involving multiple sections, access difficulties, or cast iron systems will naturally cost more. We provide a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins, so you will know the full cost upfront with no surprises.
How can I tell if my gutters need repairing?
The most obvious signs are water dripping or streaming from gutter joints during rain, visible sagging in the gutter channel, staining or green algae growth on the wall below the gutterline, and damp patches appearing on internal walls — particularly in upstairs rooms. If you notice any of these, it is worth getting the guttering checked before the issue worsens.
Do you repair cast iron gutters?
Yes. We have considerable experience working with cast iron rainwater systems, which are still common on Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Cardiff, Newport, and the Valleys. We can patch, reseal, and refix cast iron guttering. Where sections are beyond repair, we can source matching profiles to maintain the character of the property — particularly important for listed buildings where planning consent may be needed.
How long does a gutter repair take?
Most standard gutter repairs — resealing a joint, replacing a bracket, clearing a blockage, or swapping out a cracked section — are completed within one to two hours. More involved work, such as realigning an entire gutter run or replacing multiple downpipe sections, may take half a day. We will give you a realistic timeframe when we quote the work.
Do you offer emergency gutter repair?
We do. If your guttering has failed during a storm and water is pouring down the side of your property, get in touch and we will do our best to attend as quickly as possible. In most cases we can carry out a temporary fix on the same day to prevent further damage, followed by a permanent repair at a convenient time.
