How we can help
- Blocked gutter clearance
- Leaking gutter joints and damaged sections
- Downpipe faults and rainwater outlets
How pricing works
The quote separates clearance, repairs or replacement and the access needed to reach the work. Shared gutter runs, height and obstructions below the gutter can affect the scope. Roof-covering repairs are assessed separately, and indoor staining may need further investigation.
Your next step
Send the postcode and photographs taken from ground level; do not climb up to investigate. Describe what happens during rain, rear access and whether the gutter or downpipe is shared. We will confirm availability and the assessment needed before agreeing the work.
Gutter repair in Hampstead, checked as part of the roof
Gutters and downpipes on Hampstead properties do more than carry rain away. With roofs, parapets, valleys and walls, they form one drainage system, and a blocked outlet can show up as damp inside or stained masonry and stucco outside. Buildings from several periods mean profiles, materials and fixings vary. Earlier repairs may have mixed components. We check falls, joints, brackets and where each downpipe discharges before recommending a repair.
Swapping a gutter for a different material or profile is not always a simple repair. Within the Hampstead Conservation Area, or where an Article 4 direction covers an elevation, visible rainwater goods can carry significance, and a change may need permission. On a listed building, a change can need listed building consent. Matching repair is usually treated differently, though the answer turns on the exact address. In flats, gutters may be the freeholder’s responsibility under the lease.
Reaching gutters safely is the main practical question on a Hampstead job. Slopes can make ladders unsuitable, and upper storeys may need a tower or scaffold, with any licence checked with the relevant authority. Where a gutter serves more than one property, neighbours need to agree access. We protect paving and planting below, keep debris off the pavement, and bag waste for removal.
Photograph overflowing gutters during rain if you can do so safely from the ground or a window. Note stains on walls, damp patches inside and any dripping joints. Say whether the building is a house or flats, and who looks after the exterior. Hampstead Maintenance inspects and repairs directly. The written scope lists each run, the repair or replacement proposed, matching details, access equipment and a suggested cleaning interval.

Gutter clearance, a leaking joint or a damaged run?
Describe what happens during rain: water spilling over the edge, dripping from a joint or running behind the gutter. These observations help separate a possible blockage from a fitting, fall or roof-edge problem. A photograph taken from ground level is useful; do not climb up to investigate.
For a Hampstead terrace, say whether the gutter continues across neighbouring homes and where the downpipe discharges. Shared runs and outlets may need access beyond your own elevation. Include the height, rear access and any conservatory or extension below the work.

Where a change affects an older frontage, confirm the material and any consent needed for the address. Staining indoors may also need investigation; clearing a gutter alone does not establish the cause.
