Gutter Repairs Moseley Birmingham
Professional Service for B13 Properties

Moseley's housing stock is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian ” properties built between 1880 and 1914 on generous plots with large gardens and mature trees. The avenues of Moseley Road, Oxford Road, Wake Green Road and the streets around Moseley village are lined with established limes, planes and oaks that shed enormous volumes of leaves each autumn. On properties with trees overhanging the roofline, gutters can fill completely within weeks of the first leaf fall ” and the weight of wet, compacted debris puts sustained pressure on aging brackets and fascia boards.

Many Moseley properties retain their original cast iron guttering, or have had it replaced with early uPVC systems that are now 30“50 years old. Cast iron gutters are heavy, prone to rust at joints, and require careful handling ” our ground-level repair service is ideal because it never places mechanical stress on aging gutter sections. Early uPVC systems develop sagging sections and leaking joints when debris is left unmanaged. Water that overflows runs down the same section of brickwork every time it rains, saturating the wall and eventually penetrating the interior ” a particular risk on Moseley's solid-wall Victorian properties where there is no cavity to slow the ingress.

Moseley's conservation area status and its strong property market mean homeowners here are especially conscious of the appearance of their homes. Green algae on soffits, dark streaking on fascias, and overflowing gutters are visible from the street and affect both the character and the value of period properties. Our fascia and soffit washing service uses a hot purified water system to restore rooflines to a repair, bright finish without chemicals or abrasives ” preserving the original uPVC and timber surfaces.
