Lucan Guttering

Guttering done properly, from the ground up

Gutters. That is where we start. I have been working on rooflines around Lucan and west Dublin long enough to know that most water damage to a house begins at the gutter level, not the roof.

What we work with

We fit and repair all the common profile types and materials.

• uPVC half-round and ogee gutters
• Square-line downpipes and hoppers
• Aluminium seamless gutters, including continuous cast-on-site rainwater channels
• Cast iron restoration and like-for-like replacement
• Fascia and soffit boards, uPVC and woodgrain
• Leaf guards and gutter mesh
• Connection to existing soakaways and gullies

When I need materials fast, I source locally, usually from Chadwicks, so there is no week-long wait on a fitting that should take a day.

Signs your gutters need replacing, not just cleaning

It is worth knowing what to look for yourself before you call anyone.

1. Visible cracks or splits along the gutter run
2. Paint peeling or damp patches on the fascia board behind
3. Gutters pulling away from the fascia at the brackets
4. Persistent overflow even after a clean-out
5. Standing water in the channel between downpours

Any one of those is a flag. Two or more, and you are likely looking at a full replacement.

How the work actually gets done

I check the fall angle on every run I install. The standard is a 1:600 pitch toward the outlet, it sounds small, but get it wrong and you get pooling. Re-aligning brackets and correcting the fall is one of the more common jobs I pick up after other work is done badly.

Fascia and soffit replacement goes hand in hand with guttering on most jobs. There is no point fitting a new gutter run to a rotting fascia board, so we sort the full roofline where it needs it.

We cover Lucan, County Dublin and the surrounding area. To get in touch or see more of the work we do, call us on 01 264 5710, or have a look at Lucan Guttering. Most jobs get a same-week response.
