Removing an old concrete gutter system is a complicated task but comes with an array of benefits once completed. The removal process implemented by Finlock Removals is designed to remove the gutter system entirely, repair any damage left behind and install a more functional and efficient gutter system.
Concrete Gutter Removal Process

Our skilled team specialise in concrete gutters, using state-of-the-art tools like diamond-tipped cutting blades, designed to provide a more precise result when removing old gutters.

Concrete Gutter Lining
For a more budget-friendly option, you can opt for our concrete gutter lining process.
The gutter lining process is an alternative repair service. We’ve designed our lining process to allow the homeowner to retain their concrete gutters by re-lining them, restoring the gutters to their original functionality.
The gutter lining process carefully removes the old lining and replaces it with a new, modern substitute, sealing the gutter from further leaks and issues.
Investing in concrete gutter lining is a more cost-effective solution if you are on a tight budget. While removal is often considered the safer option, concrete gutter lining has many advantages and is also worth the investment.
However, there is a risk associated with concrete gutter lining, as there’s no guarantee that these issues won’t return again in the future.
Concrete Gutter Lining Process
- Prep the site for lining
- Removal of the roof tiles, making the following steps easier
- Remove the old lining and clean your gutter thoroughly from leaves, moss and other blockages
- Once cleaned thoroughly, the gutter will be lined using our non-porous, quick-drying fibreglass waterproof paint, which is more effective than any alternative lining solution
- Once the lining has dried, your EPS system will then be installed and flash form fitted, before the tiles are replaced
- Finally, if your property is attached to a neighbour’s house, the gutters will be seamlessly joined to your neighbour’s gutter to ensure better protection for your property

The Problems with Concrete Gutters
Concrete gutters often run into several issues after their thirty-year lifespan. As a porous material, concrete gutters are prone to leakages, damp, mould and much more.
Leakages are one of the most common problems concrete gutters cause and are a recurring issue that is often the first indicator that your gutter system may be failing. Poorly maintained concrete gutters can lead to sagging and uneven gutters, causing issues for windows that sit underneath, often resulting in thermal bridging.
This causes heat from inside your home to escape through the concrete gutter and into the cold air, which lowers the overall temperature inside your home, resulting in a loss of energy. This loss of energy and heat then leads to high energy bills, especially in the winter.
Replace or Repair?
The above issues can be repaired by either concrete gutter removal or lining. While lining has its benefits, to ensure the issues don’t return, it is advisable to have a complete removal and replacement of your concrete gutters.
Cost
As mentioned, concrete gutter lining is a more cost-effective short-term solution. However, the issues are likely to arise again in the future unless the gutters are completely removed and replaced. To prevent future repair work, investing in concrete gutter replacement is highly recommended, as it is a safer, long-term solution.
While it is usually the more expensive option upfront, concrete gutter replacement eliminates any future costs and repairs associated with concrete guttering at your property, both internal and external.
