Guttering in Aberdeen: Cleaning, Repairs & Replacement
Professional gutter cleaning, repair and replacement solutions.
We clean, repair, realign and replace cast-iron, aluminium and uPVC gutters and downpipes on homes and commercial properties across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
A well-maintained guttering system directs rainwater safely away from the roof, walls and foundations. Blockages, leaks and poorly aligned sections can cause overflowing water, dampness and damage to the building.
Regular cleaning and timely repairs help keep rainwater flowing properly and prevent minor guttering problems from becoming costly property repairs.
Overflowing gutters can damage more than the roofline
Leaves, moss and other debris can obstruct gutters and outlets, preventing rainwater from draining correctly. Instead, water spills over the edge and repeatedly runs down the exterior of the building.
Over time, this can contribute to staining, dampness and deterioration of masonry and pointing—particularly on Aberdeen’s traditional granite properties. Leaking joints, cracks and loose guttering can cause similar problems by directing water onto concentrated areas of the wall.
Regular cleaning and early repairs help maintain proper drainage and reduce the risk of damage to the property.
The early warning signs
- Water spilling over the edge instead of running to the downpipe
- Gutter sections sagging or pulling away from the wall
- Visible cracks, splits or leaking joints
- Water staining on exterior walls, or damp patches on interior ones
- Plants or moss growing out of the gutter
- Water pooling at the foot of the wall after rain

Frequently asked questions

Contact usWhy does guttering matter so much?
Without it working properly, water runs down exterior walls, collects around foundations and can get into the roof structure.
Keeping gutters clear protects your roof, your masonry and the ground around the building from constant moisture.
How much does gutter cleaning or repair cost?
The cost depends on the type and length of the guttering, the work required and how easily it can be accessed.
Cleaning a blockage or sealing a joint will generally cost less than replacing damaged sections or a complete system.
Once we have assessed the guttering and downpipes, we will provide a clear quotation for the recommended work.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Most properties should have their gutters checked and cleaned at least once a year, usually after the autumn leaves have fallen.
Properties surrounded by trees or exposed to frequent storms may need attention more often.
Regular cleaning prevents blockages, keeps rainwater flowing correctly and reduces the weight placed on gutters and their fixings by wet debris.
Do my gutters need repairing or just cleaning?
If the problem is caused by leaves, moss or debris, a thorough clean may be all that is required.
Leaking joints, cracks, poor alignment or damaged sections may need repair or replacement.
We will assess the condition of the system and recommend the appropriate solution.
