Sketty, set on the edge of Swansea with its leafy streets and mix of traditional and modern homes, is no stranger to South Wales weather. Frequent rainfall, combined with falling leaves and moss from rooftops, makes gutters in the area especially vulnerable to blockages. When gutters overflow, rainwater ends up running down walls, soaking fascias, and even making its way inside the home. Over time, this leads to damp problems, damaged paintwork, and costly repairs.

Why Sketty Gutters Need Regular Maintenance
Sketty is surrounded by mature trees and open green areas, which means homes here often experience heavy leaf fall in autumn. Combined with moss washed from shaded roof tiles, gutters can quickly become clogged. Once this happens, water is forced to spill over the edges instead of flowing into the downpipes.
The consequences can include:
- Stained render and brickwork
- Rotten timber fascias and soffits
- Damp spots and mould indoors
- Pooled water around the base of walls
- Cracked or displaced gutters due to frozen water in winter
Regular maintenance is the simplest way to avoid these issues. A professional clean once or twice a year will keep rainwater moving safely away from your home.
Our Professional Gutter Cleaning Process
At Cardiff Guttering, we provide more than a basic clear-out. Our detailed service ensures your guttering works as it should:
- Inspection - checking joints, brackets, and downpipes for damage or leaks.
- Safe Access - using stabilised ladders or long-reach vacuum poles to work efficiently and safely.
- Debris Removal - clearing moss, leaves, grit, and nests from the full length of the gutter.
- Downpipe Check - flushing or rodding to ensure water flows freely.
- Adjustments - tightening brackets and restoring the correct slope for proper drainage.
- Clean Finish - removing all waste from site, with before-and-after photos available if requested.
This thorough approach prepares your gutters to handle even the heaviest South Wales downpours.
Small Repairs That Prevent Major Damage
Many guttering problems can be solved quickly if caught early. Common issues include cracked joints, worn seals, or slipped sections. These can cause persistent drips and unsightly staining on walls. Our team carries spare parts for the most common repairs, meaning we can usually fix problems during the same visit as your clean. Dealing with small faults promptly prevents more expensive repairs later.
Replacement Services For Long-Term Protection
Sometimes repairs are not enough. Old cast iron gutters may have rusted through, while ageing uPVC can become brittle or warped. In these cases, replacement is often the best solution. Cardiff Guttering installs a wide range of styles including:
- Half-round - a versatile and traditional option
- Square-line - modern appearance with extra capacity
- Ogee - decorative, suited to period properties
- Deep-flow - ideal for larger roofs or heavy rainfall areas
We recommend the most suitable system for your home, balancing performance, appearance, and budget.
