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. Stanmore’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
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.

Stanmore Property Profile
What Stanmore Properties Need for Guttering
Stanmore was built primarily 1955–1975. The dominant roofing material is concrete interlocking. The lead work on most Stanmore properties is 60–70 years old. Properties on Stanmore Lane, Test Lane, Brownhill Road are representative of the typical Stanmore housing stock.
The south-western Winchester, moderate conditions in Stanmore affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the nail sickness on 50–70 year old concrete roofs creates maintenance requirements that differ from Winchester estates in more sheltered or drier positions. We account for this in both the specification and the survey schedule we recommend for Stanmore properties.
✓Lead flashings assessed — 60–70 years old lead is the primary maintenance item for most Stanmore properties
✓Ridge and hip mortar condition — checked against the flexible mortar specification
✓Gutter condition and fall — cleared and tested on maintenance visits
✓Loft inspection where accessible — felt and structural condition
✓Written condition report — yours regardless of whether you proceed

Guttering runs year-round in most weather; only high wind pauses work at height. Timings on Stanmore jobs also depend on access around Stanmore Lane and whether scaffold is needed.
Access
Getting Safely onto Stanmore 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.
Stanmore is a large 1920s–60s council-built estate of concrete and clay-tile semis with driveways and easy scaffold access. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Winchester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Stanmore Lane, Cheriton Road 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.
