Swapping crumbling 1980s plastic or flaking cast iron for a crisp new uPVC system, or guttering a brand-new extension – Merrow installs planned around your roof, hung to a true gradient, with every scrap of the old kit driven away.
Guttering has a lifespan like anything else. Early uPVC fades to a dusty pink-grey and snaps if you lean on it; cast iron rusts along the seams until whole sections flake away. When half the joints in a system have begun to weep, another round of patching is just delaying the inevitable. Gutter installation in Merrow from SuperClean Gutters means removing the tired system completely and putting up new uPVC sized for your roof, so a sudden cloudburst rolling off the Downs is carried away instead of cascading over the edge. We also gutter new kitchen extensions, garden studios, garages and outbuildings from scratch.
Planning comes first. We weigh up roof area, where the existing gullies sit and which walls have doors or windows a downpipe must avoid. Then comes the profile: half-round if you like a traditional curve, square-line for sharp contemporary eaves, deep-flow for big slopes that dump lots of rain, or ogee where a period fascia calls for it – with black, brown, white and anthracite grey all on offer. On fitting day the old gutter is unclipped and lowered, a string line fixes the gradient, brackets are spaced correctly and outlets drop straight into the gullies. Offcuts, old lengths and brackets all go in our van.
Walk from the Guildford end of Epsom Road up towards Newlands Corner and you pass almost a century of building styles, each with its own guttering needs. The interwar homes clustered near St John’s Church and the older stretches of Epsom Road were mostly built with cast iron. A good share of that was pulled down in favour of first-wave plastic forty-odd years ago, and those replacements are now brittle and faded. On these houses black half-round or ogee tends to be our suggestion, holding onto the period feel without the weight or the rust.
Bushy Hill and the Merrow Park roads are dominated by post-war semis and short terraces with simple eaves. Square-line or half-round in white, black or grey sits neatly on them, and because the runs are uncomplicated, a full swap is typically a tidy one-day job. Higher up, close to Guildford Golf Club and the slopes of Merrow Downs, the bigger detached homes carry wide roof planes. Rain hitting those surfaces in a summer thunderstorm arrives fast, so deep-flow gutters with well-placed outlets stop the far end of a long run overtopping.
A lot of our Merrow installation work in GU1 and GU4 is on additions: single-storey kitchens, garage conversions and garden rooms tucked behind houses near Merrow Woods and Boxgrove. Those need guttering that blends with the main house and drains somewhere sensible rather than onto a patio, and we plan the downpipe route with that in mind.
Good guttering is mostly good planning, so the measuring and thinking happen before a single bracket goes up.
We record each run’s length, look at the roof slopes feeding it and locate your gullies. You then get a written recommendation on profile, colour and outlet positions, plus a price with no strings.
Tired lengths, downpipes and brackets come down without damage to the fascia. With the timber exposed, we check for soft patches and raise any concerns before the new brackets are fixed.
A taut line sets the fall end to end. Brackets are fixed at the correct centres, lengths and angles clip together, and downpipes are plumbed vertically into the drainage points.
A generous flow of water checks every outlet. After that, all the old guttering, brackets and offcuts are stacked into our van so your drive looks exactly as it did.

If one or two joints leak, a repair is usually the smarter choice. In Merrow we tend to recommend a full replacement when owners describe:
Starting fresh also gives us the chance to resize undersized gutters and move awkwardly placed outlets left by earlier fitters.
New guttering is priced job by job once we know the house. The figure reflects:
Begin by messaging photographs of the house from every angle; if anything needs measuring in person, we will book a visit.
For the 1920s and 1930s homes near St John’s Church and along Epsom Road, black half-round or ogee usually looks most at home because it echoes the cast iron those houses were built with. If your windows and fascias are thoroughly modern, square-line can look sharper. Samples are available before you commit.
Sometimes not. Large, steep slopes shed rain very quickly in a summer storm, and standard gutters can overtop at the end furthest from the outlet. A deep-flow channel holds far more in one go, and adding a second outlet can help too. We work it out from the roof area at survey.
For most owners, yes. It weighs a fraction as much, never rusts and only needs the occasional clean. The cast iron is lowered with care, since it is very heavy, and we remove it entirely. Black half-round or ogee keeps a traditional appearance from the street.
Wherever we can, outlets are placed so downpipes drop straight into your current gullies or drain sockets. If an old pipe empties onto a path or into a soakaway, we discuss it at survey stage. Digging or altering underground drainage is not something we take on.
Gladly. Garden rooms, garages, carports and extensions all need somewhere for their rain to go. We match the gutter to the main house if you want things consistent, and choose a downpipe position that drains to a gully or rain butt instead of spilling across a lawn or path.
That is exactly why we look at it once the old system is off. Brackets need solid timber or uPVC to bite into. If we find soft or crumbling sections, we stop and talk it through with you rather than fixing a new gutter to something that will not hold.
