What is Concrete Gutter Lining?
Concrete gutter lining is an alternative method of repair that means you retain your Essex home’s existing concrete gutters but re-line them to improve their functionality. To repair the gutters’ functionality and seal them to prevent leaks and other problems, the old lining is taken out and replaced.
Whilst installing concrete gutter lining, instead of a complete replacement, is a cheaper repair option, the problems will recur later down the line. Over time the lining will deteriorate again, causing dampness, mould and heat loss as well as other problems. If you’re on a tight budget, lining your gutters is a more cost-effective option that will effectively stop leaks, dampness and other problems, meaning you can opt for the complete replacement option later on.
The Concrete Gutter Lining Process
The first stage is in preparation of the site, and we use our own staging equipment to remove the need for scaffolding and save time and money. Preparation will involve a thorough cleaning of loose debris and concrete. The next step is to remove the tiles to make the removal of the old lining and cleaning of the gutters easier. Then, the gutters are given a fibreglass lining followed by the fitting of an EPS (Eaves Protection System) which bridges the old felting and slates to angle the water into the gutter and away from your walls. All joins are secured, including to your neighbour’s roofline, and then flashform is fitted to add another layer of protection before the tiles are replaced and the team cleans up the area before leaving.

What Problems do Finlock Gutters Cause?
Owing to the porosity of the concrete makeup of Finlock guttering, they have many problems. They are prone to leaking and this causes dampness both to the inside and outside of walls as well as making heating systems ineffective – wasting resources for heating the property. The biggest problem for Essex homes with Finlock guttering is leakage which will mean the house becomes moist and develops a mould issue. This is detrimental to the health of the occupants and can cause the need for expensive repair work internally and externally in the future, as well as depreciating the value of your property.
What are the options?
There are two main solutions to issues with your concrete guttering problem – repair or replacement. Removal and replacement is the most efficient and long-lasting option to ensure your gutters are functional and protect your property and health. Repair is more affordable, whilst still being effective, as a short-term solution – although ultimately the same problems will likely occur again. This means replacement is the superior option as a solution that will prevent the need for additional repairs or maintenance and, although the upfront cost is higher, it is more economical in the long term.
