Ballyfermot Guttering

Dublin rain does not forgive bad guttering

Rain finds every weakness. I have been fixing and fitting gutters across Dublin long enough to know that a poorly hung downpipe or a sagging gutter run will punish a homeowner inside twelve months. We work across the city, and we see the same problems repeating on the red brick terraces of D10 and the pebble-dash semi-detached estates ringing them.

What we do

We handle the full range of rainwater and roofline work. No fuss about it.

• New gutter installation and full replacements in uPVC, aluminium seamless, and cast iron
• Half-round, ogee, and square-line profiles fitted and properly graded for fall
• Downpipe repair and replacement, hopper heads, rainwater outlets
• Soffit and fascia replacement in uPVC board
• Leaf guards and gutter mesh fitted to keep blockages out
• Connection to existing soakaways and gullies
• Rainwater diverters and water butt installation

We also deal with parapet wall lead flashing junctions where gutters meet flat-roof sections. That detail gets missed more often than it should.

A typical installation day

When we arrive on site for a new gutter run, this is how the day usually goes.

1. Check the existing fascia condition before a single bracket goes up
2. Replace or reinforce any soft or rotten fascia boards first
3. Set out bracket positions with correct spacing for the profile chosen
4. Establish the fall line. Gutters don't drain themselves flat
5. Cut, join, and fix the gutter run with proper union clips and stop ends
6. Drop the downpipes, connect outlets, check alignment top to bottom
7. Clear the site and run a hose test before we leave

Straightforward work done right. (Half the call-outs we get are fixing jobs somebody else rushed.) However careful the materials are, a bad installation will still leak within a season.
