Gutter falls
Gutters need a slight fall towards the outlet. Too flat and water sits; wrong way and it overflows. Refitting to the correct fall solves many recurring problems.

Gutter Repairs, Replacements and Clearing
What the service covers
Gutter repairs, full replacements and maintenance, including fixing leaking joints, correcting falls, replacing broken brackets and clearing blockages.
Who it's for
Homeowners with overflowing or dripping gutters, anyone with damp patches on external walls, and property owners whose gutters have sagged or come loose.
When it's needed
When water spills over the edge during rain, joints drip, gutters sag between brackets, or you see staining and moss on the walls below.
Why a roofer should do it
Gutters are the final part of your roof's drainage. Stephen looks at the whole picture, including the roof edge and fascias, so the fix lasts.
What Faulty Gutters Do to Your Home
A gutter that doesn't work sends roof water straight at your walls and foundations.
Damp walls
Water running down brickwork soaks through and shows up as damp inside.
Rotten fascias
Overflowing gutters keep the fascia wet until it rots.
Foundation and ground issues
Water dumped at the base of walls can cause problems with paths and ground around the house.
Ice and slip hazards
In winter, overflow freezes on paths and steps.
Common mistakes to avoid
Only clearing, never checking
A gutter that overflows when clear has a fall or sizing problem.
Sealing joints repeatedly
Old, brittle joints keep failing. Replacement often costs less over time.
Ladder DIY
Working off a ladder at height is one of the most common causes of home injuries.

Guttering Work in Detail
Here's what Stephen looks at when repairing or replacing guttering on homes and commercial buildings.
Joints and outlets
Joints between gutter sections are a common leak point. Worn joints are resealed or replaced, and outlets checked for blockages.
Brackets and fixings
Broken or widely spaced brackets let gutters sag. Brackets are replaced and spaced correctly to keep the run straight.
Downpipes
Blocked or damaged downpipes cause gutters to back up. They're checked and cleared or replaced as needed.
With fascias and new roofs
When fascias are replaced or a new roof is fitted, it's the ideal time to renew gutters too.
Residential vs commercial
Commercial buildings often have longer runs and bigger volumes of water. Domestic gutters are smaller but just as important for keeping walls dry.
Choosing a Roofer for Guttering in Berkshire
When you are looking for someone to handle guttering on your property, the biggest risk is not the materials. It is not knowing who will actually turn up, whether they will do what they said, and who you can call if something is not right afterwards. Legacy Roofing removes that uncertainty by keeping everything with one person. Stephen Farrow inspects your roof, explains what he has found, gives you the price, does the work and stands behind it.
One roofer, start to finish
Many roofing firms send a salesperson to quote and a different crew to do the job. Details get lost between the two, and you end up repeating yourself. Because Legacy Roofing is a solo business, the conversation you have at the inspection is the same one the roofer on your roof remembers. If you have a question halfway through, you ask the person doing the work.
Straight answers before you spend anything
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation roof inspection. Stephen will tell you plainly what is wrong, what it needs, and what it does not need. If a smaller repair will solve the problem, that is what he will recommend. You will know what is included in the price before any work begins, so there are no awkward surprises at the end.
Experience you can check
Stephen has 10 years of hands-on roofing experience on domestic and commercial properties. Legacy Roofing holds £1 million public liability insurance, every new roof carries a 10-year guarantee, and repair guarantees are explained clearly for the specific work carried out. If water is coming in, a 24-hour emergency call-out service means you are not left waiting until Monday.
What to expect on the day
Stephen arrives when he says he will. Before starting, he walks you through the plan again so you know which parts of the roof he will be working on and roughly how long each stage should take. Access is set up safely, and anything that could be affected around the property, such as paths, plants or parked cars, is considered before work begins. While the job is under way, you can ask questions at any point, and if something unexpected turns up once the roof is opened, he will show you and talk it through before going any further. Nothing extra is added without your agreement.
When the work is finished, Stephen checks it over, clears away old materials and debris, and explains what has been done and which guarantee applies. You are left with a roof that has been looked after properly, a clear record of the work, and the direct number of the roofer who did it, should you ever need him again.
