What to expect when having new guttering installed

Posted on 16 April 2025

Guttering might not be the most glamorous part of your home, but it plays a critical role in protecting your property from water damage. A well-functioning gutter system ensures rainwater is efficiently directed away from your roof, walls, and foundations. Helping prevent costly problems such as damp, mould, and structural damage. If your guttering is old, leaking, or damaged, it may be time to consider a replacement. So, read on to find out what to expect when having new guttering installed in Grimsby by Raven Roofing & Repairs Ltd?

In this article, we walk you through the process, benefits, and what to keep in mind when upgrading your guttering system.

Why Guttering Matters

Before we get into the process, it’s worth understanding just how vital your gutters are. Gutters collect and channel rainwater from your roof to the ground, away from the building. When they become blocked, cracked, or disconnected, rainwater can spill over, causing problems such as:

  • Damaged brickwork or render
  • Foundation erosion
  • Damp and mould inside your home
  • Rotten fascia boards and soffits
  • Water pooling around your property

New guttering is a smart investment that protects your home long-term. And when you choose professional guttering installation in Grimsby by Raven Roofing & Repairs Ltd, you’re getting reliable service from local experts who know how to do the job right.

  • Peeling paint or signs of water damage on your external walls

Had a leak from my roof. Chris came out the same day although
the weather wasn't good. He surveyed the roof and found the problem immediately (a tile had slipped), took photo's before and after replacing the slipped tile. I asked how much I owed him - he said there was NO charge as it was a quick repair. What a lovely, kind, genuine guy! Would highly recommended him and his company.

After being let down by another firm i rang Chris in desperation. Within an hour he arrived, looked at work, discussed, priced and booked a date.

Would Recommend Raven Roofing.
We had new gutters and facias fitted all round the house.
We were really pleased with the completed job.
I did point out a minor oversight, which Chris promptly dealt with.
The quote for the job was very competitive and I doubt you could get it done cheaper.
So deserves 5 Stars.

We have used Raven Roofing several times for small repairs as we didn't want to go to the expense of a new roof, but recent torrential rain forced us to accept we needed a new roof. We were dreading the bill but Raven Roofing were very reasonable (not sure if I'm allowed to say how much).
The scaffolding arrived and was put up promptly, Raven Roofing arriving a couple of days later to start work, the only delays were due to bad weather and Raven Roofing contacted us to let us know about any delays which we really liked, usually builders don't bother. Raven roofing were polite, friendly and courteous at all times.
Out roof was completely stripped and replaced in a week, all rubbish was removed and the gardens left looking tidy.
The roof itself looks fantastic...we are very very pleased and highly recommend Raven Roofing.
