Guttering, Fascia
& Soffit — Dublin, Cork
& Nationwide.

The majority of gutter call-outs across Cork, Limerick, Galway and Dublin are one of five faults: leaking gutters at joints where the union seal has perished, sagging gutters where brackets have pulled out of tired fascia, cracked gutters and broken sections from ladder damage or frost, rusting or corroded gutters on older steel and cast iron systems, and overflowing gutters where the fall or the outlet was never right to begin with. Every one of these has a proper fix — re-sealing gutter joints and unions with the correct gutter sealant rather than a smear of mastic, re-bracketing to sound timber at correct centres, replacing individual damaged sections, or re-setting the fall so water actually reaches the outlet.

We repair rather than replace wherever repair is honest — a €200 re-seal that lasts is better business for both of us than a €1,500 replacement you didn't need. But we'll also tell you when a system is beyond economic repair: uPVC that has gone brittle and chalky after 25+ years, or cast iron rusted through at the back edge where you can't see it. Either way you get a written assessment with photos before any work starts.

Full uPVC gutter replacement is the most common rainwater job we do on Irish homes. Modern uPVC systems — we fit Brett Martin and equivalent brand-name profiles, never unbranded imports — are UV-stabilised, colour-fast and effectively corrosion-proof, with manufacturer product warranties of 10–25 years on top of our own 10-year workmanship guarantee. You choose the profile to suit the house: half-round gutters for most properties, deep-flow for large or steep roofs that shed water fast, square box-section for a modern edge, or ogee where a more decorative moulded line suits the period of the house.

Replacement includes everything, not just the gutter lengths: new brackets at correct centres, unions, internal and external gutter corner pieces and angles, stop ends, running outlets sized and positioned to BS EN 12056 rainfall standards, and new downpipes with hopper heads where the design calls for them. We check the drip-edge flashing on every run and replace it where water has been tracking behind the gutter — the hidden fault that rots fascia from the back and is missed on almost every cheap quote.

Seamless aluminium guttering is roll-formed on site from coil, to the exact length of each run — a 14-metre roofline gets one 14-metre gutter with no unions along it. Since joints are where gutters leak, removing the joints removes the leak. Powder-coated aluminium is light enough not to stress the fascia, strong enough to take a ladder, and carries a design life of 30+ years in the Irish climate. It's what we recommend for exposed and coastal properties, larger roofs, and any homeowner who wants to fit gutters once and forget about them.

Continuous guttering is a specialist install — the roll-forming machine, the coil stock and the trained crew come as a package — which is why most general builders don't offer it. As roofing contractors we also handle everything the gutter connects to: fascia and soffit condition, drip-edge detail, outlet position and downpipe sizing, so the whole rainwater system is engineered together rather than a gutter simply clipped onto whatever was there.

Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses and protected structures across Cork, Limerick and Dublin carry original cast iron guttering — often 100+ years old and, with honest maintenance, good for decades more. We repair, re-seal and re-hang original cast iron, source matching replacement sections in traditional ogee and half-round profiles, and where the local authority or conservation officer requires it, replace like-for-like in new cast iron with hopper heads to match the originals. For select heritage and high-specification work we also install copper guttering, which weathers to a natural patina, and galvanised steel guttering in box profiles on agricultural and industrial buildings.

Where a period look is wanted without period cost, cast-effect aluminium reproduces the profile and colour of traditional iron at a fraction of the weight and price — a route many ACA-adjacent homeowners take. All heritage rainwater work follows the same rules as our heritage roofing: appropriate materials, documented compliance where planning applies, and photographic records on completion.

Blocked gutters cause more Irish water damage than storm-torn roofs. Leaves, moss washed off the roof, and ball-and-debris blockages fill the gutter until water sheets over the back edge into the fascia and wall — and a blocked downpipe backs the whole run up in minutes in heavy rain. Our gutter cleaning service is a full flush-out: every run cleared by hand and flushed, every downpipe rodded or flushed until it runs free, outlets and hopper heads cleared, and a photo report of the roofline condition while we're up there — slipped slates, failed pointing and fascia rot get spotted before they become their own call-out.

Where overhanging trees make blockages an annual event, we fit gutter guards and leaf filters — mesh systems that let water through and keep debris out. They don't remove maintenance entirely, but they turn an every-autumn problem into a once-every-few-years check. For rental properties, commercial buildings and anyone who never wants to think about gutters, we offer scheduled maintenance visits on the same basis as our commercial roof-care contracts.

The fascia board carries the gutter; the soffit closes and ventilates the eaves. When either goes — usually rot in original timber fascia that has spent decades behind a leaking gutter — the gutters can't be fixed properly until the boards are. Our full roofline package strips the old timber, checks and treats the rafter feet behind it, and fits uPVC fascia and vented soffit that will never need painting, with the new gutter system hung on sound fixings at the correct fall. It's the permanent version of the job, and on most 3-bed semis it's done in two to four days.

Roofline work is also where ventilation gets corrected: blocked or missing eaves ventilation causes condensation and timber decay in the attic, so we fit vented soffit or over-fascia vents to meet current Irish Building Regulations (TGD compliance) as standard. Every roofline job ends the way every roof job ends — site cleaned, debris gone, and a 10-year written workmanship guarantee certificate in your hand alongside the manufacturer warranties on the boards and gutter system.
