Guttering in Swindon

Yes. We regularly fit cast iron half-round, ogee and ornamental moulded rainwater goods on Grade I and II listed properties in Swindon and across Wiltshire, and liaise directly with conservation officers where required.

Our studio is in Highworth, Wiltshire, so Swindon is within easy reach. We typically arrange an initial site visit within one to two weeks of enquiry, with a written specification to follow.

It depends on the property. Standard aluminium guttering, repairs and replacements across every property type. For period homes we usually specify cast iron, copper or lead; for architect-led contemporary builds we use zinc or seamless powder-coated aluminium.

We cover the SN1 and SN2 and SN3 and SN4 and SN5 postcode districts in and around Swindon, including Wroughton, Wanborough, Purton, Lydiard Millicent, Blunsdon, plus the wider Wiltshire area.

Yes. Barn conversions in and around Swindon usually have long, steeply pitched roof planes that overwhelm standard 112mm guttering, so we size deep-flow or 125mm/150mm systems with additional downpipes on secondary elevations. Where planning conditions specify black cast iron or dark powder-coated aluminium, we specify to match and fix into sound rafter feet rather than eroded stone.

Like-for-like repair of existing rainwater goods is normally maintenance. Changing material, profile or downpipe positions on a listed building in Swindon usually needs listed building consent, and conservation area conditions can dictate colour and finish. We photograph and document the existing system, supply profile drawings and speak to the Wiltshire conservation officer where that helps.

Often, yes. If most sections are sound and the failures are joints, brackets or paint, we take the run down, strip back to bare metal, re-prime and repaint, replace only the failed sections in matching profile and re-hang to a corrected fall. Where rust has perforated the metal across the run, honest replacement in cast iron or cast iron effect aluminium is the better value.

Yes. As well as Swindon itself we work in Wroughton, Wanborough, Purton, Lydiard Millicent and throughout Wiltshire and the wider Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Berkshire.
