Guttering in Oxfordshire
We supply, repair and install guttering across Oxfordshire — cast iron, copper, zinc and seamless aluminium rainwater systems for Cotswold-stone cottages, Georgian townhouses, college and estate buildings, farmhouses and contemporary homes.
From our base in Highworth we cover Oxford, Witney, Burford, Woodstock, Chipping Norton, Faringdon, Henley-on-Thames and the surrounding villages.
Guttering for Oxfordshire's period housing stock
Oxfordshire spans Cotswold stone in the west, brick-and-tile in the Vale, and Georgian and Victorian stone in the city. Each needs a different rainwater approach: eaves depth, roof pitch, parapet gutters and hopper positions all change how a system should be detailed.
On period and listed properties we specify cast iron half-round, ogee and moulded profiles so replacements read as original. Where a lower-maintenance route is appropriate, powder-coated seamless aluminium in a heritage colour gives a similar line.
- Cast iron half-round, ogee and ornamental profiles
- Copper and zinc for principal elevations
- Seamless aluminium in heritage colours
- Parapet, box and valley gutter linings
- Ornamental hopper heads and cast iron downpipes
- Fascias, soffits and copings
Repairs, replacements and new installations
Most Oxfordshire enquiries fall into three groups: failed or leaking cast iron on a period property, tired plastic guttering owners want upgraded, and new installations on extensions, barn conversions and new builds.
Where existing cast iron is sound, repair and redecoration is usually cheaper and more sympathetic than replacement — and we will say so at survey rather than sell a full system.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Oxford's central conservation areas and the county's many listed villages mean rainwater goods are often controlled. Replacing cast iron with plastic on a listed building normally needs consent and is frequently refused.
We work to conservation-officer guidance and can provide the profile, material and finish detail a listed building consent application needs.
