Professional Guttering Services for Streatham Homes

Guttering plays a crucial but often overlooked role in protecting a building. While the roof sheds water, it is the guttering system that ensures rainwater is safely directed away from walls, foundations, and structural timbers.

At Streatham Roofing Specialists Ltd, we provide guttering services for period and heritage properties across Streatham. We repair, restore, and maintain cast iron guttering, downpipes, and rainwater systems while preserving traditional building character.

Our focus is on preventing water damage before it reaches the building, helping to preserve both the structure and appearance of traditional properties through careful maintenance and repair.


guttering ISSUEs


Why Guttering Failures Cause Hidden Damage

Guttering problems can often remain unnoticed until water damage becomes visible elsewhere on the property. When rainwater is not directed away correctly, it can gradually affect walls, roof structures, and foundations.

Damp & Water Staining

Blocked or failing gutters can allow water to run down external walls, causing damp patches and moisture problems.

Brickwork & Structural Damage

Continuous water overflow can erode brickwork and mortar joints, reducing the protection of the building.

Internal & Foundation Damage

Poor drainage can lead to water ingress inside walls, ceiling damage, and repeated moisture affecting foundations.

Preserving Traditional Rainwater Systems


On heritage and period properties, cast iron guttering is often an original architectural feature. Where possible, we prioritise repair and restoration over replacement.

Our work includes:

  • Clearing and unblocking existing gutter systems
  • Realigning gutter runs to restore correct fall
  • Resealing leaking joints
  • Replacing damaged sections with matching cast iron
  • Treating and protecting corrosion in existing systems
  • Maintaining original hoppers and downpipes where present

Cast iron systems, when properly maintained, can last for generations and remain visually consistent with traditional buildings.



what we do


Common Guttering Problems We Repair

Effective guttering is essential for protecting your property from water damage. Over time, ageing systems, weather exposure, and blockages can affect performance and lead to damp issues or damage to walls and foundations.

Blocked Gutters

Leaves, moss, and roof debris can restrict water flow, causing overflow and potential damage to the property.

Leaking Joints

Failed seals and worn connections can allow water to escape, affecting walls and surrounding areas.

Poor Gutter Alignment

Incorrect positioning or falls can prevent proper drainage and cause standing water during rainfall.

Damaged Brackets

Loose or broken supports can cause gutters to sag, affecting their ability to carry water effectively.

Cast Iron Corrosion

Older cast iron systems may develop corrosion and require careful restoration to maintain their function.

Blocked Downpipes

Blocked outlets can stop rainwater from draining properly, leading to overflow and moisture problems.

Gutter Repair or Replacement?


Not all guttering systems require full replacement. In many cases, targeted repair and maintenance are enough to restore proper function.

We only recommend replacement when:

  • Cast iron is extensively corroded or perforated
  • Systems have been incorrectly installed or heavily altered
  • Repairs are no longer cost-effective or reliable

Where replacement is required, we ensure new systems are appropriate for the age and style of the property.


Accurate Guttering Assessments

We inspect the complete rainwater system to identify the true cause of blockages, leaks, and drainage issues.
