Home›Gutter Repairs›Shere
Joint dripping, a length bowing like a hammock, a pipe cracked open by frost? Around Shere we cure the faults that let rain seep into aged brick, render and oak, swapping in genuine new fittings instead of reaching for the mastic gun.
Old houses forgive a lot, but not water that is constantly dripping onto the same patch of wall. In a village full of timber frames, soft red brick and lime mortar, a single leaking union can stain the face of a building and start rot in the sill or wall plate below. Our gutter repairs in Shere target the cause: the perished fitting is unclipped and binned, a fresh one takes its place, and the gasket inside does the sealing it was designed for, rather than a bead of mastic that splits again once winter bites.
Our vans hold a decent store of everyday plastic fittings in the familiar shapes and colours, so the majority of jobs are finished during that first trip, once you are happy with the figure. A dipping length gets raised and re-hung with a gentle slope down to its outlet, wobbly brackets are screwed back into firm wood, and cracked sections or split downpipes are swapped for new ones. Plenty of the repairs we carry out are spotted during a routine gutter clean, when the trough is empty and every joint can be inspected closely.
Much of Shere sits within a conservation area, and many houses date from well before the twentieth century. Over the decades, guttering on these buildings has often been extended, patched or partly replaced, so you can find cast iron sections next to plastic ones, odd adaptors bridging two profiles and brackets screwed into fascias that were never meant to carry them. Mismatched joints are a common source of drips, and we see them regularly on cottages near the church and along the lanes off Middle Street.
Weather plays its part as well. The Tillingbourne valley is damp and frost settles in its hollows on clear winter nights, so water left standing in a blocked gutter freezes, expands and pushes joints apart. Heavy, wet leaf litter from the beeches on the Downs adds weight that pulls runs out of line, especially where fascia boards have softened. Once a gutter dips, water collects at the low point and the leak gets steadily worse.
Outbuildings deserve a mention too. Barns, garages, stables and garden studios dotted around the village and nearby farms often have cheap or very old guttering that nobody checks. We repair those just as readily as the main house, across GU5 including Gomshall, Albury and the surrounding hamlets. If a cast iron system is too far gone, we will tell you plainly and talk through replacement options instead of patching something that will fail again.
We find the real source of the leak before deciding what to replace.
Message photos of the leak, the staining it leaves and a wider view of that side of the house. That tells us the profile and likely parts so we can quote and load the right fittings.
We clear the affected length so nothing hides the fault, then look closely at joints, brackets and the fall. A leak at one union sometimes turns out to be water pooling from a sag further along.
Failed unions, stop ends or outlets come off and new ones go on. Dropped lengths are lifted to the right gradient, with fresh brackets fixed into solid timber where the old ones have worked loose.
A hose is played along the mended stretch while we stand underneath each fitting looking for the faintest bead of water, then send you before and after photos showing what was changed.

A clean gutter can still leak. These are the faults that call for new parts rather than a clean alone:
Catching these early stops water soaking into old walls, which is far harder and costlier to dry out than a gutter is to fix.
Repair prices depend mainly on what needs replacing and how easily we can reach it. The things we weigh up are the number of joints or fittings involved, whether runs need re-hanging, the height of the eaves, and whether a clean is needed first to expose the fault. We will always explain what we plan to replace before starting, so there are no surprises. Pictures of the leak sent our way normally bring a free, fixed figure back within the day.
Sealant over a failed rubber gasket rarely lasts more than a season, especially with frost in the valley. A new union restores the proper seal designed for that profile, so the repair should hold for years rather than months and you are not paying for the same fix twice.
We can assess them and advise. Small problems on cast iron may be manageable, but badly corroded or cracked sections often cannot be repaired reliably. In that case we will explain the options honestly, including replacement with a suitable uPVC profile.
Usually, yes. Seepage that appears only in torrential rain tends to mean a gasket is beginning to perish, or a length has slipped a fraction out of line. Fixing it now is simpler than waiting for the fascia or wall beneath to take on water over several winters.
We keep common plastic gutter and downpipe parts on the van in the usual colours and profiles, so most repairs are done on the spot. Rarer or discontinued shapes sometimes have to be ordered in, and we would flag that up front.
Yes. Outbuildings around Shere often have neglected guttering, and the repairs are much the same: new joints, refixed brackets and straightened runs. We can do them on the same visit as the house if you want everything sorted at once.
Where a trough is clogged we suggest emptying it beforehand, since a buried crack or dip only reveals itself when the gutter is bare. A combined price covering clean and repair keeps it to a single visit.
