Guttering in Reading
Reading's Victorian and Edwardian terraces often retain their original cast-iron gutters — some in serviceable condition, others cracked or pulling away from the fascia. Legacy Roofing clears, repairs, and replaces guttering across Reading, including the specialist valley gutters between back additions that are prone to silting and deterioration. For most domestic replacements we work in UPVC; for period properties and conservation settings we can supply cast-iron-effect profiles.
The back-addition valley gutters on Katesgrove and West Reading terraces are a recurring source of calls — these internal drainage channels sit at the bottom of a slope between the main roof and the rear addition, and when they block the water has nowhere to go but into the roof space.

The fall of the gutter may be insufficient — gutters need a slight slope toward the downpipe or water will pond and back up. We check and adjust falls as part of any gutter service.
Yes — section replacement is often the most cost-effective solution. We match profiles as closely as possible and advise if a full replacement would be more economical.
