Concrete Gutter Replacement in Horsham and all Surrey and Sussex Areas | Located in Crawley
If you have noticed damage to a concrete or finlock guttering system, Zac’s Gutters encourages a prompt response, or you could end up with dampness issues which could easily spread into the home. If damp patches, drips and leaks show underneath the gutters, or if white patches have formed, we urge that you have repairs undertaken as soon as possible. You can book in for a full or partial UPVC replacement and enjoy the kind of roofline transformation that hundreds of local homeowners have already benefited from since 2011.
Concrete gutter replacements suit all concrete and finlock systems and our company can offer services in the Crawley and Horsham areas, the two counties of Surrey and Sussex, and all locations across the South of England.
We also specialise in metal gutter repairs.
By using UPVC on concrete gutter replacement projects, you futureproof the integrity of your rainwater system for at least 20 years and protect your home, which will always be your most prized asset. Installations usually take no more than a day or two, so mess and disruption are always kept to a minimum.
Access - Our team sets up an access system, which will usually include basic scaffolding and ladders. We will be careful not to damage satellite dishes, cables or any other part of the roofline. All work at height follows current safety guidelines for our sector. We assess risk and follow method statements.
Assessment - Prior to starting a job, our personnel assess the condition of your guttering to see if it has worsened since our initial visit. We clear the gutters of debris and remove the old lining. Note that we will leave behind aluminium or lead linings at your request so you can cash in on their scrap metal value.
Block Removal - Our installers adjust the bottom tiles then remove concrete in small blocks using steel blades. We lower concrete to the ground with care and dispose of it in skips or in skip bags, which we can arrange for you from trusted service providers in Crawley, Horsham and the surrounding areas.
Board Installation - Concrete gutter replacements require us to install treated timber boards which help insulation and form connections for the fascias and your new UPVC guttering. The board keeps installations straight, protects against warping and stops any damage to the remaining concrete gutters.
Soffits - Next, we fit replacement soffits to the underside of the old installation to hide any visible finlock guttering. Starter trims attach soffits to the walls of your home to keep them in place, ensuring they stay secure over many years, will never fall away or sag, and should always look professionally fitted.
Fascias - Zac’s Gutter secure the fascias with zinc-plated screws to avoid any issues with corrosion. Gutter clips hide the screws for a better aesthetic. We then set the new UPVC guttering at the correct angle so that rainwater can run directly through the downpipe and disperse into the mains sewer system.
The Roof - We now turn our attention to the roofing, replacing felt along the length of the roofline or installing an eaves protection system (EPS). The EPS sits beneath the felt to stop water entering the property through the roofline. Next, our installers undertake quality checks and feed back to the customer.
Joining Up - Many of the properties we repair in Crawley, Horsham and the South are semi-detached, so we need to link up to the concrete gutters of adjacent homes. Joining plates help water to traverse between each of the properties. Note that the positioning of shared downpipes isn’t important.
Completion - After finishing a concrete gutter replacement project, we clean nearby windows and brush down the brickwork. After putting waste into a skip or skip bag for removal, Zac’s Gutters undertakes a final inspection of the work, shows the customer the job and leaves the property clean and tidy.
