Guttering & Drainage Services London | Best & Trusted
Jade Roofing Experts provides guttering and drainage services across London, including gutter repair, cleaning, replacement and downpipe work, starting with a free inspection and a fixed-price quote. Most gutter repairs are completed same-day, and all guttering work is backed by a 25-year workmanship guarantee.
Jade Roofing Experts has repaired, cleaned and replaced guttering on more than 2,000 properties across London since 2011, from Victorian terraces in Camden to flat-roof conversions in Kensington. Every gutter job — large or small — starts with a free inspection and a fixed-price quote, and every repair carries our 25-year workmanship guarantee.
We’re based on Kilburn High Road, which means when a client in West Hampstead or Islington calls about an overflowing gutter, we’re not dispatching a stranger from a call centre — we’re sending a team that already knows the terrace roofs and Victorian rooflines of this part of London.
Why Your Gutters Are Probably Worse Than They Look
Most guttering problems don’t announce themselves with a dramatic collapse. They start small — and by the time you notice, the damage is usually already inside your walls.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it:
- Water pours over the edge of your gutter every time it rains, even though the gutter “looks” fine
- Damp patches are appearing on an interior wall, usually near a corner or chimney breast
- A downpipe is dripping or leaking at a joint, staining the brickwork below
- Your flat roof is pooling water near the drainage outlet instead of running off
- Moss, silt or plant growth has built up in the gutter and hasn’t been cleared in years
These aren’t cosmetic issues. Overflowing gutters causing damp walls is one of the most common — and most preventable — causes of internal damage we see in London homes, particularly in Victorian and Edwardian terraces with cast iron guttering that hasn’t been serviced in a decade or more.
Areas we cover: We work across London, including Kilburn, Camden, Islington, Kensington, Westminster and surrounding areas.
Our Guttering & Drainage Services Across London
Guttering and drainage services cover the repair, cleaning, replacement and installation of the systems that carry rainwater away from a roof and property — including gutters, downpipes, dry verges, dry ridges, gutter guards and, where needed, soakaways. Poorly maintained guttering is one of the leading causes of damp, timber rot and structural water damage in UK properties.
Gutter Cleaning London
Debris, moss and silt build-up is the number one cause of overflow. We clear gutters by hand or using high-level access equipment depending on the property, checking downpipes and outlets are running freely — not just the visible gutter run. [LINK TO: Gutter Cleaning London — sub-service page]
Gutter Repair London
Cracked joints, sagging sections, misaligned brackets and small leaks are fixed on-site in most cases, often same day. We diagnose the actual cause rather than patching the symptom.
Gutter Replacement London
When a system is beyond economical repair, we replace it — UPVC, aluminium or cast iron, matched to your property type and (where relevant) conservation requirements. [LINK TO: Gutter Replacement London — sub-service page]
Gutter Guards
Reduces future blockages, particularly useful for properties near trees. We’ll advise honestly on whether it’s worth the investment for your specific roofline.
Dry Verge & Dry Ridge Installation and Repair
Modern dry verge systems replace failing mortar pointing at the roof edge, reducing future maintenance. We also repair and re-point traditional mortar verges where that’s the more appropriate solution for a period property.
Downpipe Repair
Leaking or cracked downpipes are a common — and often overlooked — cause of localised damp and brickwork staining. Repaired or replaced to match existing pipework.
Flat Roof Drainage
Flat roofs rely entirely on correctly pitched falls and clear outlets. We resolve pooling and slow-draining flat roofs by clearing, adjusting or re-routing drainage points.
Soakaway Installation
For properties with nowhere for surface water to go, we design and install soakaways that keep water away from foundations — particularly relevant for extensions and hard-landscaped gardens.
Areas we cover: We work across London, including Kilburn, Camden, Islington, Kensington, Westminster and surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions — London Roofing
Real questions from London homeowners, answered honestly by the Jade Roofing Experts team.
How much does gutter replacement cost in London?
Gutter replacement cost in London depends on material, length and access, but most homeowners can expect a fixed-price quote following a free inspection rather than a per-metre estimate, since pricing varies significantly by property.
What is the best guttering material for a Victorian house?
Cast iron is historically accurate and often required in conservation areas, while UPVC or aluminium offer lower maintenance for properties without heritage restrictions; the right choice depends on your property’s listing status and budget.
Do you offer emergency gutter repair in London?
Yes, Jade Roofing Experts offers emergency gutter repair across London, including same-day response where storm damage or active leaks require urgent attention.
Can cast iron gutters be repaired in a conservation area?
Yes, cast iron gutters in conservation areas can often be repaired rather than replaced, which is frequently the preferred approach both for heritage compliance and cost.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in London in 2026?
Gutter cleaning cost in London varies by property size and access, and we provide a fixed price after a free inspection rather than a generic online estimate that may not reflect your property.
Can a leaking downpipe cause damp inside my home?
Yes, a leaking downpipe can cause damp inside a home, particularly where the leak occurs at a joint close to an external wall, allowing water to track through brickwork over time.
Is a gutter guard installation worth the cost in London?
Gutter guard installation is worth considering for properties near trees or with a history of frequent blockages, though it isn’t necessary for every property, and we’ll advise honestly during your free inspection.
What's the difference between a dry verge and a mortar verge repair?
A dry verge uses interlocking dry-fix components instead of traditional mortar, reducing long-term maintenance, while a mortar verge repair re-points and reseals the existing mortar bedding at the roof edge.
Do you provide free gutter inspections in London?
Yes, every guttering job with Jade Roofing Experts begins with a free, no-obligation inspection carried out by an experienced roofer.
What causes flat roof drainage problems in London properties?
Flat roof drainage problems are usually caused by an incorrect roof pitch, blocked outlets, or debris build-up preventing water from reaching the drainage point, leading to pooling and eventual leaks.

London’s autumn and winter rainfall puts real pressure on gutters that haven’t been checked this year — and a small leak now is a much cheaper fix than water damage in three months’ time.
