Honest advice
Is Guttering the Right Fix?
Blocked or failing guttering is the commonest preventable cause of damp in Winchester homes. Here is how to tell whether you need clearing, a repair, or full replacement. Oliver’s Battery’s housing and setting mean some faults show up here more than elsewhere.
Water overflowing the gutter edge during rain
A vertical damp stain on the wall below a gutter joint
Gutter visibly sagging or pulling away from the fascia
Plant growth in the gutter run
Peeling paint or rot on the fascia behind the gutter
Be honest with yourself: If the run is sound and simply blocked, a clean is all you need — not a replacement. We will say so rather than sell you new guttering. Read the full guide.

2. Written quote
On completion, fixed price specifying material, profile and any fascia repair, within 48 hours.
3. Scheduling

4. The work
On the day, old guttering removed, fascia checked and repaired, new run hung to correct fall with sealed joints.
Guttering runs year-round in most weather; only high wind pauses work at height. For Oliver’s Battery properties the duration bands above are typical; your written quote gives the firm figure for your roof.
