5 Signs Your Gutters Need Replacing

Not every gutter problem can be solved with a quick repair. At some point, a full
gutter replacement becomes the best long-term solution for your Salisbury home. Here are five key
signs it might be time to upgrade your system.

1. Persistent leaks in multiple places

If your gutters still leak after several repairs, or if there are many problem areas along the run, the whole
system may simply be past its best.

2. Cracked, brittle or warped guttering

Over time, uPVC can become brittle and cracked due to sunlight and temperature changes. Metal systems can also rust
or corrode. When the material itself is failing, replacement is usually the only sensible option.

3. Sagging or misshapen gutters

Gutters should follow a gentle, even fall towards the downpipe. If you can see obvious dips, bowing or sections
pulling away from the fascia, they may no longer be able to carry water effectively.

4. Frequent blockages and overflows

If you’re constantly dealing with blockages and overflow, the alignment, size or overall design of the system
might not be suitable. A new, correctly designed gutter system will manage rainfall far more efficiently.

5. Visible water damage around your home

Stained brickwork, peeling paint, damp patches and rotten fascias are all signs that water has been escaping from
your guttering for some time.

Is it time for new gutters?

If you recognise several of these signs, it’s worth considering a professional gutter installation.
A new system will protect your property, improve kerb appeal and often add value to your home.
