Guttering
Roof guttering is the most familiar part of the roofline and is essential in ensuring proper water drainage in any type of property.
Guttering is the system that encircles the house and brings water to the downpipes that send it to the drainage system, freeing your property from built-up water.
As roof guttering is an outward facing component, many homeowners want guttering that is not only effective in doing its purpose but is also pleasing to the eye. Balhousie can install or upgrade your roofing gutters to meet your expected standards for both looks and function.

Without well-functioning roof gutters, a property can experience a wealth of problems, from leaks and flooding to dampness and mould.
By having well-made, durable gutters professionally installed on your property, homeowners can rest assured that any water from rain, snow or ice will drain effectively and not cause issues to the roof, roofline or interior of the home.

FAQs
Roof guttering refers to the system of channels, typically mounted along the edges of a roof, that collects and directs rainwater away from the building’s foundation, walls, and roof. Gutters help manage water flow, preventing damage to your home’s structure and landscape.
The lifespan of roof gutters depends on the material used. uPVC gutters can last around 20–30 years, aluminium gutters can last up to 20 years, while steel gutters may last 15–20 years. Proper maintenance can help extend their life.
To maintain roof gutters, regularly clear out leaves, debris, and dirt to prevent blockages. Check for leaks, cracks, or sagging, and repair or replace damaged sections. It’s also important to ensure that the downspouts are clear to allow water to flow freely away from your property.
Signs that your gutters need replacing include visible cracks or splits, sagging sections, water pooling around the base of your home, peeling paint, rust spots, and persistent leaks or overflowing during rainfall. Mold or water damage to your home’s exterior may also indicate faulty gutters.
Proper guttering prevents water damage by efficiently channelling rainwater away from your home’s foundation, walls, and roof. Without effective gutters, water can seep into your roof and walls, leading to rot, structural damage, and dampness, which can cause further issues like mould growth and erosion.
Our roof gutters are made from uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride), an affordable and low-maintenance material.
Regular gutter cleaning is essential for preventing blockages that can cause water to overflow and damage your home. Blocked gutters can lead to water backing up under your roof, causing leaks, rot, and structural damage. Keeping gutters clean ensures proper water drainage and reduces the risk of costly repairs.
