The Concrete Gutter Replacement Process
As complicated as concrete gutter replacement may appear, our team has locked down this process to a tee. We provide all our teams with the latest Easi-dec equipment, saving our customers time and money from installing large-scale scaffolding systems. For the utmost precision, we also use diamond-tipped blades for a guaranteed high-quality finish.
After removing your existing gutters, we don’t begin installing your new system until all the damage has been repaired. We then fit your brand-new uPVC gutters, in the colour and style of your choice, complete with an EPS tray to ventilate your roof space. This process can be quite loud and dusty, so it's always best to consult with professionals like Finlock Removals, who will get the job done right. It can also lead to further problems down the line if not done correctly.
We firmly believe removal is the best option for resolving problems associated with your concrete gutters. It’s a long-term solution that gives homeowners across West Yorkshire peace of mind.

What Problems do Finlock Gutters Cause?
Typically, homes with Finlock gutters installed will begin to see problems once they hit the 30-year mark. Concrete is a porous material, meaning it absorbs water which can accumulate over time.
The most common issue homeowners experience is leaks. If your strips are damaged or poorly maintained this can lead to sagging, uneven lengths between pieces and even thermal bridging. As there is nowhere for the water or debris to flow, the windows directly beneath your gutters will suffer from leakages.
This also has a knock-on effect on other areas of your home. Broken concrete gutters can lead to increased energy bills as the heat escapes from your home. With the onset of winter months, this means it will cost you more to heat your home.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Concrete Gutters?
The answer to this question depends on you, your budget and your needs. Replacing your concrete gutters is a permanent solution and the advised course of action. However, lining your concrete gutters is also a viable option when you need a budget-friendly and fast solution.
How Much Does it Cost to Fix my Concrete Gutters?
As previously mentioned, concrete gutter lining is the more inexpensive option, however, with that, the issues may likely arise again in the future. That is why we advise homeowners to opt for a complete removal and replacement. Whilst this has a higher upfront cost, it is a long-term solution and can save you the hassle of future expenses.
