Gutters are easy to overlook until they overflow, leak down the wall or drip behind the fascia — and by then they may already be causing damp. We connect homeowners across Lichfield, Burntwood, Rugeley and Staffordshire with an insured local contractor who fixes gutters properly, whether that is a repair, a clean or a full replacement.
Enquiries go to a selected local contractor who assesses the job and gives you a clear quote. We are not a national firm — you deal with a local contractor who turns up and does the work.
Repair, clean or replace?
- Cleaning solves most overflows — clearing leaves, moss and debris from gutters and downpipes.
- Repairs fix leaking joints, sagging runs, loose brackets and the wrong falls, where the gutters are otherwise sound.
- Replacement is the answer when the plastic is cracked and brittle or the fascias behind have rotted.
A quick look tells the contractor which you need, so you are not sold a replacement when a repair would do.
Why clear gutters matter
Blocked or leaking gutters send rainwater down the walls instead of away from the house — a leading cause of penetrating damp, stained walls and rotten fascias. Lichfield is a historic cathedral city with a fine stock of Georgian and Victorian property around its centre and conservation areas, alongside newer estates. On the older brick and rendered homes, water from a failing gutter quickly causes staining and damp. Keeping gutters clear and sealed is cheap insurance for the whole building.
Local knowledge
The city's mature, tree-lined Georgian streets fill gutters with leaves each autumn, so regular clearing keeps water off walls that are costly to repair.

Frequently asked questions
How much do gutter repairs cost in Lichfield?
Small repairs like resealing a joint or refixing a bracket often start from around £80 to £150, while a full gutter clean is typically £60 to £120 depending on the property. Replacement is priced per metre after a look at the job.
Should I repair or replace my gutters?
If the gutters are sound but leaking at joints or sagging, repair is usually enough. If the plastic is cracked and brittle or the fascias behind are rotten, replacement is the better long-term fix.
Why do gutters overflow?
Most overflows are simply blockages — leaves, moss and debris — cleared by a gutter clean. Persistent overflows can mean sagging runs or the wrong falls, which a repair puts right.
Can blocked gutters cause damp?
Yes. Overflowing gutters run water down the walls, a common cause of penetrating damp, stained walls and rotten fascias — all far more expensive than keeping the gutters clear.
