How often should gutters be cleaned in Lancing BN15?

Annually for most properties. Properties near the River Adur with heavy tree canopy benefit from twice-yearly clearing — once after autumn leaf fall and once in spring after moss and algae growth. Salt deposit accumulation also needs clearing on all coastal BN15 properties.

Do you repair cast iron guttering on North Lancing Victorian properties?

Yes — we restore original cast iron rather than automatically replacing with uPVC. Cast iron in sound condition with repaired joints and fresh paint will outlast uPVC. We assess condition and advise.

Can I get my fascias replaced at the same time as guttering in Lancing?

Yes — and it is the most cost-effective approach. One scaffold setup covers both jobs. We quote them together on request. Call 01903 905 128.

Guttering in Lancing

Lancing guttering divides into two main categories by housing era. The Victorian and Edwardian semi-detached properties in North Lancing carry original cast iron half-round guttering, often still serviceable with proper joint sealing and repainting. The large post-war estates of South Lancing have uPVC guttering now 30–50 years old with joint and bracket failures common.

Properties along the River Adur side of Lancing — Manor Road and the streets west of the railway — see above-average moss and leaf accumulation in gutters due to the tree canopy and riverside humidity. We recommend twice-yearly clearing for these properties.

Salt deposit accumulation in gutter bores is a consistent issue across all coastal Lancing properties. The internal bore restriction caused by salt buildup is invisible from the ground and only detected during hands-on inspection — we clear this as standard on all Lancing gutter visits.

Guttering in Lancing — What We Do

Inspection and Diagnosis

Every guttering visit in Lancing begins with a full inspection from ladder level — not just a ground-level visual check. We assess joint condition, bracket fixings, gutter fall, downpipe connections and the fascia board behind. Salt deposit accumulation in the gutter bore is a consistent problem across BN15 that is invisible from the ground — we clear this as standard on every Lancing gutter visit.

Repair or Replace?

The default approach is always to repair where viable. A leaking joint on an otherwise serviceable uPVC gutter does not need full replacement — a reseal and bracket check is usually all that is required. We recommend replacement only when the gutter profile is obsolete and spares are unavailable, when the fascia behind has rotted to the point where new brackets cannot be fixed, or when the full gutter run has been repaired multiple times and replacement is more economic than further patching.

Annual Guttering Programme for Lancing

For most Lancing properties, annual clearing and inspection is the most cost-effective approach. We combine clearing, joint inspection, salt deposit removal and minor repairs in a single visit. Booking in October or November catches the full autumn leaf accumulation before winter rainfall peaks. Properties near the River Adur or under heavy tree canopy benefit from a spring visit additionally. Call 01903 905 128 to arrange.

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix	Cost
Leaking joint	Failed sealant	Reseal or replace section	£60–£150
Overflow at joint	Blockage or wrong fall	Clear or reset brackets	£80–£180
Gutters pulling away	Rotten fascia behind	Replace fascia + refit gutter	£180–£400
Full blockage	Leaves/debris/salt	Clear and flush	£80–£140
