A rainwater gutter, eaves gutter, parapet gutter, chute or surface water collection channel is designed to prevent rainwater from dripping or flowing off roofs in an uncontrolled manner, by channelling the rainwater away from the exterior of the walls and their foundations.
Rainwater gutters can be made from a variety of materials ranging from Cast iron, UPVC, Stainless steel, Seamless gutters, Zinc, Aluminium, Asbestos or Finlock gutters which all channel water into a rainwater downpipe. The capacity of a gutter to withstand rainfall and its ability to function correctly is an important consideration if the building is to remain dry. With the ever-increasing rainfall being experienced across the United Kingdom, many gutters are now failing to withstand sustained downpours and therefore our team at THL Maintenance Ltd can inspect and provide a proactive approach to gutter clearance, repair and deep flow gutter upgrades, which are key to a functional rainwater system.
