Gutter repairs, uPVC and seamless aluminium replacement, cast iron restoration, cleaning, fascia & soffit — across Galway. Free surveys. 10-year written guarantee.
Galway is the hardest place in Ireland to be a gutter. Atlantic fronts make landfall here first, so the west of the city — Salthill, Knocknacarra, Barna — gets wind-driven rain that tests every joint and salt air that corrodes steel brackets and fixings years ahead of schedule. Rusting and corroded gutters that would take twenty years to develop inland show up in eight on the prom. Meanwhile the east side's newer estates in Doughiska, Oranmore and Claregalway run builder-grade uPVC guttering that was never sized for a west-coast downpour, the city's older terraces still carry cast iron, and out in Connemara wind-exposure is the design constraint for everything. The failures follow: leaking gutters at joints worked loose by wind flex, sagging gutters where fixings have corroded, overflowing gutters in every named storm, and blocked gutters filled by moss scoured off wet roofs.
From Eyre Square we cover the city and county, Clifden to Loughrea: gutter repairs and re-sealing, uPVC gutter replacement, seamless aluminium guttering — our standard recommendation for Atlantic exposure, roll-formed on site with no joints for the wind to work loose — cast iron restoration, gutter cleaning with photo reports, gutter guards, and complete fascia and soffit roofline packages. It's part of our full guttering, fascia & soffit service, backed by the same 10-year written guarantee as every Recommended Roofing job.

Salt air from Salthill to Barna eats steel brackets, screws and older galvanised runs — the gutter looks fine while its fixings quietly fail. We replace with marine-suitable fixings and powder-coated aluminium where exposure demands it, and restore cast iron where the metal is sound.
Wind flex works unions loose on exposed elevations — a joint that would hold for 20 years inland leaks in 5 on the coast. We re-seal gutter joints properly or, better on exposed runs, remove the joints entirely with seamless aluminium.
Galway's named-storm rainfall overwhelms undersized builder-grade systems on the newer east-side estates. We re-set falls and size outlets and downpipes to BS EN 12056 — specified for west-coast intensity, not a national average.
Corroded fixings and wind load pull runs out of fall. We re-bracket to sound timber at closer centres than the inland standard — the detail that makes a Galway gutter hold its line through a winter of westerlies.
Moss scoured off perpetually damp roofs silts Galway gutters faster than leaves do. Full hand clearance, downpipes rodded through, photo report included — and gutter guards where the pattern repeats.
Storm debris and ladder damage on brittle uPVC. Individual sections replaced where the system is sound; honest advice when coastal UV and wind have finished a cheap system end to end.

Oranmore, Co. Galway
Undersized builder-spec gutters replaced with brand-name deep-flow uPVC, new brackets, unions, stop ends and an added downpipe to split the load.
A system sized for west-coast rainfall instead of overflowing in every squall.
Most gutter problems start above the gutter — a slipped slate dumping water past the drip edge, a failed valley overloading one outlet. Because we're roofing contractors first, we diagnose the roof and the rainwater system together, so the fix addresses the cause rather than the symptom.
Our Construction Industry Register Ireland registration is publicly searchable. CIRI requires demonstrated competence, insurance compliance and commitment to Irish building regulations. It protects you against unregistered traders and is the most reliable independent verification available in the Irish market.
Our public liability cover is €6.5 million, held with Zurich, alongside membership of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF). Working at eaves height on ladders and towers is exactly the work insurance exists for — you can verify our cover independently before we set foot on site.
Every gutter, fascia and soffit installation carries our 10-year written workmanship guarantee, on top of manufacturer product warranties of 10–25 years on brand-name systems (Brett Martin, Lindab, Alutec). The certificate is provided at handover, before the invoice.
How much does gutter replacement cost in Galway in 2026?
Full uPVC gutter replacement on a Galway 3-bed semi typically costs €900–€1,800. Seamless aluminium — our usual recommendation for coastal exposure — runs €1,900–€3,400, and a complete roofline package €2,700–€5,400. Free written quote — call 091 622895.
What guttering is best for coastal homes in Salthill and Barna?
Seamless powder-coated aluminium with marine-suitable fixings. It removes the joints that wind flex works loose and the steel components that salt air corrodes — the two ways coastal gutters actually fail. uPVC is fine for sheltered inland sites; on the coast we specify for the exposure.
Why do my gutters overflow in every storm in Galway?
Most builder-grade systems on the newer estates were never sized for west-coast rainfall intensity. We re-set the falls and size outlets and downpipes to BS EN 12056 — often adding a downpipe to split a long run — so the system copes with a named storm, not just a shower.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Galway?
Once a year minimum — but in Galway it's moss, not leaves, that does the blocking, scoured off perpetually damp roofs. Every clean includes downpipes rodded through and a photo report of the roofline condition. Repeat blockers get gutter guards.
Do you replace fascia and soffit with the gutters in Galway?
Where the fascia is rotten or wind-lifted, always — new gutters on failed timber won't survive a west-coast winter. The full roofline package strips the old boards, treats the rafter feet and fits uPVC fascia and vented soffit before the new system goes up.
Are you insured and registered for gutter work in Galway?
Yes — €6.5 million public liability insurance, CIRI registration (verifiable at ciri.ie) and CIF membership. Working at eaves height in Galway wind is exactly what that cover exists for; certificates on request before work starts.
Do you cover Connemara and county Galway or just the city?
The county — Clifden to Loughrea, Tuam to Kinvara side. Exposure out west is a design constraint, not an obstacle: closer bracket centres, marine fixings and seamless runs are standard specification on exposed Connemara jobs. Emergency call-outs target 6 hours.
