Tewkesbury gutters, specifically

Why gutters matter more on old Tewkesbury buildings.

Tewkesbury's old town is full of timber-framed buildings along Church Street, the High Street, Barton Street and the alleys between them. On a timber-framed building a blocked gutter is more than a stain on the wall. Water overflowing at the eaves runs down the frame and sits in the joints between the timbers and the infill panels, and timber that stays wet is timber that rots. Keeping the gutters and downpipes clear is one of the cheapest ways to look after a building that has already stood for centuries.

The town also sits where the Avon meets the Severn, surrounded by low meadows including the Severn Ham. That keeps the air damp through autumn and winter, roofs slow to dry, and moss growing well on old tiles and on the estates' concrete tiles alike, and it washes into gutters with every downpour. Around the Abbey, the Vineyards, and the trees along the Swilgate and the Avon, autumn leaf fall adds to it.

Out on the estates (Northway, Priors Park, Newtown, Mitton, Wheatpieces and Walton Cardiff) it's standard PVC on concrete tile, mostly two storeys, and the job is simpler. The problem is the same, though: moss off the roof, silt in the trough, and outlets that slowly close up until the gutter overflows in the first heavy rain.

What we clear in Tewkesbury

The gutters we find in Tewkesbury.

Some of the oldest buildings we work on, and some of the newest, within a mile of each other.

Timber-framed and jettied buildings in the old town

Church Street, the High Street, Barton Street and the courts behind them. Gutters here are often short runs at awkward heights, set over jettied upper floors and meeting the next building's gutter at odd angles. We clear by hand and keep water and debris off the frame and off the pavement below.

Brick frontages on older buildings

Many of Tewkesbury's older buildings were given brick fronts in the Georgian period, so what looks Georgian from the street can be much older behind. These often have cast-iron gutters and downpipes, and sometimes a parapet or box gutter at the front. Cast iron rusts at the joints when it's left full; hidden box gutters block without anyone noticing until a ceiling stains.

PVC on the estates

Northway, Priors Park, Newtown, Mitton, Wheatpieces and Walton Cardiff. Mostly two-storey and cleared from the ground with long-reach poles. Moss washed off concrete-tile roofs is the usual cause of blockages.

Working in the old town

Conservation areas, narrow alleys and a main road out front.

Most of the historic centre is a conservation area and many of its buildings are listed. Clearing gutters is maintenance and doesn't need consent. Replacing gutters or downpipes on a listed building (plastic for cast iron, or a change of profile) is an alteration that is likely to need listed building consent from Tewkesbury Borough Council, so if we find damage we'll recommend a like-for-like repair.

Access is the practical challenge. Many rear gutters can only be reached through the narrow alleys and courts behind the main streets, where there's barely room to carry a ladder. The main streets through the centre carry the A38, so working on a front elevation there needs a plan for the pavement and the traffic. Tell us how the back of the building is reached, and whether there's anywhere off-street to park, and we'll plan the job around it.

We work up to three storeys with long-reach poles or a roof ladder. Taller buildings, or fronts where a ladder can't safely stand on the pavement, go on scaffold or a MEWP, priced separately on the quote.

What's included

The same full clear on every Tewkesbury job.

Whether it's a timber-framed building off Church Street or a semi on Priors Park, the job is the same: we don't finish until water runs freely from the gutter down to the drain.

Tewkesbury common questions

What Tewkesbury customers ask about gutter cleaning.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Tewkesbury?

Most standalone gutter clears in Tewkesbury are £60–£120. Access, height, the length of guttering and how blocked it is all affect the price, and scaffold or a MEWP is shown separately if it's needed. If we're cleaning your roof, the gutter clear is free.

My building in the old town is listed. Is gutter clearing allowed?

Yes. Clearing gutters and downpipes is maintenance and doesn't need listed building consent. It's replacing them that can: swapping cast iron for plastic, or changing the profile, on a listed building is likely to need consent from Tewkesbury Borough Council. If we find damage, we'll recommend a like-for-like repair.

Why does a blocked gutter matter on a timber-framed house?

Because overflowing water runs down the face of the building and soaks into the timber frame and the joints around the infill panels. Timber that stays wet rots, and on an old frame that's slow and expensive to put right. Clear gutters and downpipes are one of the cheapest ways to protect it.

Can you reach the back of buildings off the alleys?

Usually. Our vac, poles and roof ladder can be carried through narrow passages. Tell us on the form how the back of the building is reached and send a photo if you can. If there's no safe way to work from the ground, we'll quote for the access that's needed.

How often should gutters be cleared in Tewkesbury?

Once a year for most houses, ideally after the leaves are down in late autumn. Buildings close to the Abbey grounds, the Vineyards or the trees along the rivers may need clearing twice a year. Older buildings with hidden box or parapet gutters are worth checking every year even if nothing looks wrong.

Do you cover Ashchurch, Twyning and the villages around Tewkesbury?
