Guttering failure is one of the most common and preventable causes of water damage on UK properties. A blocked joint, a sagging run, or a loose bracket left unattended will eventually force water down external walls, into fascia boards, and against the foundations. Most homeowners only notice the problem when the damage inside is already done. At EBT Build, we install, repair, and replace guttering systems that are fitted correctly from the outset, right fall, right fixings, right material for the property type.
We work with uPVC, aluminium, cast iron, ogee, box, and fascia guttering systems on residential and commercial properties across the UK. Whether you need a single section replaced, a full system installation, or a repair to a leaking joint that has been causing problems for months, every job is assessed individually and completed by our own team with no subcontractors involved.
All guttering work is priced transparently, confirmed in writing before work begins, and backed by a workmanship guarantee. We also carry out fascia and soffit replacement where required, ensuring the full system is correctly supported and finished as part of the same project. Guttering work is often completed alongside other roofing services to ensure the entire roof drainage system works correctly.

Every guttering project is delivered as a fully managed service. We take responsibility for the complete scope of work, ensuring nothing is missed, and each stage is completed correctly and safely.
Our focus is not just fixing visible issues but addressing underlying problems such as poor slope, loose brackets, and water overflow to ensure lasting performance.
During gutter installation or repair, we also check nearby fascias and soffits because these components support the gutter brackets and roof edges.
Our guttering service covers everything required to deliver a fully functional and reliable drainage system. We begin with a site assessment, identify faults, and carry out repairs or installation using correct preparation and fitting methods.
All work is completed using approved materials and fixing techniques. The result is a clean, durable guttering system delivered without delays or coordination issues. If severe leaks or storm damage occur, homeowners may require emergency roof repairs to prevent further structural issues.
uPVC is the most widely used guttering material in the UK. It is lightweight, low maintenance, resistant to corrosion, and available in a range of profiles and colours. We install uPVC guttering on residential properties as a cost effective and reliable long term solution.
Aluminium guttering offers greater strength and durability than uPVC and is suitable for larger properties and commercial buildings where a more robust system is required. It is lightweight, corrosion resistant, and available in a range of colours including cast iron effect finishes.
Cast iron guttering is the traditional choice for period and heritage properties where appearance and authenticity matter. It is extremely durable and long lasting when maintained correctly. We install and replace cast iron guttering on Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian properties across the UK.
Ogee guttering has a distinctive S-shaped profile that is commonly found on period properties and conservation area homes. It is available in uPVC and cast iron and is often specified where planning requirements or aesthetic preferences call for a traditional guttering profile.
Box guttering is a square profile system used on flat roofed extensions, commercial properties, and modern builds where high volume drainage is required. We install box guttering systems as part of flat roof installations and full guttering replacements.
Fascia guttering is fixed directly to the fascia board without the need for separate brackets. It provides a clean and neat finish and is commonly used on new build and replacement guttering projects where a streamlined appearance is required.
Finding a guttering contractor who installs correctly the first time is more important than it sounds. Poorly fitted guttering — wrong fall angle, loose brackets, unsealed joints — will leak, sag, and overflow within months. At EBT Build every guttering project is assessed properly and installed to last, not rushed to fill a day’s work.
We have been installing and repairing guttering systems on residential and commercial properties across the UK for over 10 years. Every job is priced transparently, completed by our own team, and backed by a workmanship guarantee.
Blocked gutters are frequently caused by debris buildup, which is why regular roof cleaning helps maintain proper water flow and prevent overflow.
We provide focused guttering repairs for homeowners who do not require full replacement. This includes joint resealing, minor alignment fixes, and damaged section replacement carried out with minimal disruption.
Our team checks existing brackets and roof edges to ensure compatibility. This reduces cost, shortens timelines, and restores proper water flow without compromising performance.
We specialise in full gutter replacement projects involving complete removal and new system fitting. This service covers preparation, bracket setup, gutter fitting, and finishing delivered under one managed plan.
Each installation is planned to suit the roof structure and drainage demand. Materials and methods are selected to ensure stability, weather resistance, and easy maintenance.
Every guttering project starts with a detailed site survey and planning phase. Existing guttering is inspected or removed to assess roof edges, fixings, and drainage routes.
Includes:
Site survey and drainage planning, Removal of failed gutter sections, Roof edge and fascia inspection
Once preparation is complete, core installation or repair work is carried out. This includes bracket correction, gutter fitting, and joint sealing.
Includes:
Bracket spacing and alignment, Gutter fitting or repair, Joint sealing and flow control
The final stage focuses on precision finishing. All joints are tested, water flow is checked, and the system is inspected before handover.
Includes:
Final adjustments, Leak and flow testing, Project inspection and handover
Site visit and scope assessment
Transparent costs and timelines
Trades coordinated and managed
Snagging cleared, project closed
If your gutters are leaking at joints, sagging away from the fascia, or overflowing during rainfall, repairs are usually the first step. Isolated joint failures, loose brackets, and minor cracks can all be fixed without replacing the full system. If the guttering is consistently failing across multiple sections, has become brittle with age, or is pulling away from the fascia due to deteriorated fixings, full replacement is likely to be more cost effective than ongoing repairs. EBT Build carries out a full inspection before recommending repair or replacement and provides an honest assessment of the most practical and cost effective option for your property.
The right guttering type depends on the property style, budget, and drainage requirements. uPVC is the most common choice for standard residential properties — it is lightweight, low maintenance, and cost effective. Aluminium guttering is a stronger and more durable option suitable for larger properties and commercial buildings. Cast iron guttering is the correct choice for period and heritage properties where appearance and authenticity are important, particularly in conservation areas. Ogee profile guttering is commonly specified for Victorian and Georgian properties. EBT Build assesses the property type and drainage requirements during the survey and recommends the most suitable system before any work is agreed.
The cost of gutter installation in the UK typically ranges from £300 to £1,500 for a standard residential property depending on the size of the property, the guttering material chosen, and whether fascia and soffit work is required at the same time. uPVC installations sit at the lower end of the range. Cast iron and aluminium systems cost more due to material and installation complexity. Full replacements on larger properties will cost more depending on the total run length and number of downpipes. EBT Build provides a fully itemised written quote after a free site inspection so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins.
Yes. When gutters are blocked, sagging, or leaking, water runs down the external walls of the property rather than being directed away through the downpipes. Over time this causes damp patches on internal walls, damage to window frames and sills, and in more serious cases penetrating damp that affects the internal structure of the property. Overflowing gutters near the foundation level can also cause rising damp. Addressing guttering problems early is significantly cheaper than dealing with the damp damage that follows if they are left unresolved.
Yes. Fascias and soffits support the gutter brackets and roof edge, and deteriorated fascia boards are one of the most common causes of guttering failure. Where fascias are rotten, soft, or pulling away from the rafter ends, replacing the guttering alone will not provide a lasting fix. EBT Build inspects the fascia and soffit condition during every guttering survey and can carry out replacement as part of the same project. Combining guttering and fascia work in a single visit reduces overall cost and ensures the full system is correctly installed and finished together.
Most gutters in the UK benefit from cleaning once or twice a year, typically in late autumn after leaves have fallen and again in spring. Properties with heavy tree coverage or in areas with significant moss and debris on the roof will require more frequent cleaning. Blocked gutters are one of the most common causes of guttering failure and water damage, so regular clearance is the most effective way to extend the life of the system. EBT Build carries out gutter cleaning alongside installation and repair work and can advise on a maintenance schedule appropriate for your property during the survey.
