Planning your concrete gutter replacement this winter is essential if you have noticed a few concerns with your gutter system. When concrete gutters begin to gradually break down, water will begin to seep through mortared joints and behind the concrete gutter, which can cause a risk of damp in upstairs bedrooms.
While it may be tempting to complete a DIY concrete gutter repair, we urge you not to. Over the years, our team have come across countless DIY concrete gutter repair attempts, including lead lining, tar, roof sealant and DIY kits purchased from online. While these may provide a short term solution, a professional service will benefit you greater in the long run.
What is Concrete Gutter Lining?
Our installers of concrete gutter liners use a thick grade EPDM seamless liner which provides an expected life of 20 to 50 years. This will cover your concrete gutter to shield water from penetrating your gutter and leading into upstairs bedrooms.
How Will Our Team Install the Lining?
Rather than just laying your new concrete gutter lining in your gutter, our team is here to complete a thorough job. Therefore, they will strip a few rows of tiles – including hip tiles – so they can effectively lay one large liner, which measures up to 2 metres wide and fits the length of your concrete gutter. This should reassure you that you will be left with dry gutters and bedrooms.
Our team will also remove any signs of previous repair solutions and debris. This allows you to have the same water capacity as when your gutter was installed.
Once laid, our team will treble seal all corner and mitred joints with an overlap system. By doing so, this prevents your new liner from leaking. To ensure that water cannot seep through anywhere, we run a specially fabricated outlet through the downpipe hole.
How Does This Benefit My Concrete Gutter Replacement?
Whether you are having a concrete gutter replacement or repair, installing concrete gutter lining additionally, will offer further protection from water damage. As mentioned above, with our service you will also benefit from debris cleaning, removal of previous DIY attempts and therefore a water capacity just like when your gutter was installed.
