Honest advice
Guttering: Do You Really Need It?
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. In St Giles Hill specifically, elevated eastern hill, exposed on the upper slopes with fine period roofs of slate and clay.
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
When it is not the answer: 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.

Access
Getting Safely onto St Giles Hill Roofs
Gutter work runs from ladders or a tower on most Winchester properties. Scaffold is specified for: three-storey terraces, or full roofline replacement combined with fascia work - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
St Giles Hill has substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas on steep streets where access and scaffold need careful planning. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Winchester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Magdalen Hill, East Hill where space is tight.
Worked example: Replacing the guttering on a Fulflood Victorian terrace in cast-aluminium to match the original cast iron: around £950.
No deposit on jobs under £500. VAT included. 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Covering SO22, SO23, SO21 and surrounding postcodes.
