About our business
Glasgow Gutters is your local gutter company for all types of gutter cleaning, repair and installation jobs on homes and other buildings throughout Glasgow, Paisley and the surrounding areas. We are here to assist you in keeping your gutters functioning perfectly all year round. How do gutters work? As a property owner or tenant, you might not think very much about your gutters; yet they are an essential feature in preventing rain water from pouring down the exterior walls of your property.

Gutters can get filled up with leaves, small pieces of rubbish, moss, mud and other debris as time passes. If not removed, then this debris can prevent water from passing through the gutters in the way that it should. As a result, rainwater can flow over the edge of the gutter and down the outside of the building, leaving damp patches and stains on the walls below. Sometimes, water can pool at the base of the building as well.

Glasgow Gutters provides a residential and commercial gutter cleaning service in our local area. We clear out all the rubbish and debris that can sometimes become trapped in the gutters, including leaves and other debris. Well-maintained gutters will be better at removing rainwater from the roof as it is meant to, as well as easier to see from the ground if there is any evidence of damage. If you haven't had your gutters checked for a while, you may want to book an inspection.

Blocked gutters are not always obvious from the ground. You may see a weep around the gutter edge during rain or even observe plant growth within the gutter as a sign of a blockage. Other indications can include the presence of water marks on the outside wall, rubbish gathering around the down pipe or simply the fact that water is flowing down the walls, rather than down the guttering. If you notice any of the above, it could be time to have those gutters checked.

When gutters have been damaged or have stopped functioning as they should we will repair them. As they get older gutters can become cracked, broken or have a loose joint. Its common for severe winds, driving rain and even fluctuations in temperature to cause damage to a gutter, and some gutters can start to detach from the roof itself, when their brackets and fixings become loose. Even a minor problem can cause water to escape in the wrong place, and it's often worth having damage assessed.

A leaking gutter can also lead to an issue if it's left unchecked for too long. The water might trickle down the side of the property and leak onto doors and windows or collect around the foundation of the house. The extent of the damage depends on where the water is heading and how long the problem persists. A repair might be all that's needed if only a small part has been affected and the remainder of the guttering is in solid shape.

However, repairing an old gutter may not be the most practical solution. For instance, if a gutter has multiple cracks, loose sections, and visible deterioration, it might be better to replace it entirely. A gutter system that's been around for a while could start to weaken, and not every problem could be fixed by applying a patch. Sometimes, a new gutter system can better direct rainwater away from your home's walls and roof. The decision always hinges on the age of your gutter, the nature of damage, and the condition of all the other components.

We also fit new gutters to houses and other buildings. Whether you're constructing a new house or replacing an old one, or you just want to replace your existing roof gutters, we are able to service your requirements. New gutters need to be right for the building and positioned in a way that rainwater can run to the down pipes. Proper fitting is essential as water should be able to run easily.

Various styles of gutters exist and the most suitable one could also depend on the structure. Building items use different kinds of gutters, and you might have a metallic drain, or a plastic drain on your home. The overall size and shape of your roof can also influence the kind of drain you need, and it's worthwhile to consider your alternative to a fresh system with an eye on the structure and the roof.

Down pipes are also a feature of any gutter system. They are responsible for carrying rainwater down from the gutter to a drain or another efficient outlet. When a down pipe gets blocked up, this can either mean the rain water gets left in the gutter or flows over the gutter. If a downpipe is not attached properly or is damaged then it will sometimes allow water to get out near the walls.

Gutters require maintenance in all four seasons, but certain times of year pose more issues than others. In autumn, falling leaves can clog gutter systems quickly when trees are nearby. After heavy rains, water levels will be more difficult to manage when the gutter is clogged. Winds can loosen gutters or blow debris onto your roof, so periodically inspecting your gutters can catch trouble before it has a chance to escalate.

Tips for regular maintenance Gutter maintenance is also helpful for those who own or look after other types of properties. For landlords, making sure that gutters are free from blockages means minor repairs can be rectified before more serious problems occur. Business owners and managers may need to maintain gutters at shops, offices and other commercial premises, and clean, functional gutters mean rainwater is carried away from the roof rather than pouring over the sides and damaging walls, paths and entry points.

And it's worth keeping in mind, also, that gutter cleaning is not always the safest thing to do without the correct tools and precautions. People can be seriously injured by falling from a ladder or a roof, or from being knocked off an uneven surface by tools falling from a gutter. Attempting to unblock a gutter from a window or from the roof can be pretty dangerous also. Should your gutters require cleaning, seek assistance from a professional gutter cleaning company, to ensure that you do not unnecessarily put yourself at risk.
