GUTTERING
THE ROLE OF A GUTTERING SYSTEM
A properly fitted guttering system is essential for protecting a property from water damage. Gutters collect rainwater from the roof and channel it safely into downpipes, keeping walls, fascias and foundations dry. When guttering becomes blocked, misaligned or cracked, water can overflow or leak behind the fascia, leading to damp patches, staining and long-term deterioration.
At Rogers Roofing, we install and repair high-quality guttering systems across Dorset. Whether you need a full replacement or a small repair, we make sure your guttering performs efficiently, looks neat and protects your home for years to come.
NEW GUTTERING INSTALLATIONS
We supply and fit OSMA guttering systems, one of the UK’s leading names in roof drainage. Manufactured from durable uPVC, OSMA systems are lightweight, long-lasting and resistant to corrosion. They are available in a range of profiles and colours, including half-round, deepflow and ogee, allowing us to match the system to both traditional and modern rooflines.
Every installation follows manufacturer and industry standards to ensure correct performance. Gutters are fitted with a minimum fall of 1:600, allowing rainwater to flow freely towards the outlets without pooling. Gutter brackets are fixed securely at no more than 1 metre apart, or closer in exposed locations, to prevent sagging and maintain alignment under load.
Joints and unions are sealed using manufacturer-approved connectors to ensure watertight joins and accommodate natural expansion and contraction during temperature changes. Once installed, the system is fully tested to confirm smooth water flow throughout.
ALUFLOW ALUMINIUM GUTTERING
For homeowners looking for a more premium or long-term solution, we also install Aluflow aluminium guttering systems. Aluminium guttering combines strength, durability and a clean, modern appearance, making it a popular choice for both contemporary homes and period properties.
Aluflow systems are manufactured from high-grade aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. They are powder-coated for a smooth, hard-wearing finish and available in a variety of colours to complement the rest of the roofline.
Unlike uPVC, aluminium guttering will not fade, warp or become brittle over time. It has a longer lifespan, is fully recyclable and requires very little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. The joints are sealed and mechanically fixed for long-term watertight protection.
We fit Aluflow systems to the same professional standards as our uPVC installations, ensuring correct falls, bracket spacing and outlet placement for optimum flow and reliability.
GUTTER REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
Not every guttering issue requires a full replacement. In many cases, small problems can be resolved quickly with localised repairs. We carry out:
-
Realignment of sagging or uneven guttering
-
Replacement of cracked sections, joints or brackets
-
Resealing of leaking outlets and connections
-
Cleaning and removal of debris or moss build-up
-
Clearing and refitting downpipes
We can repair or maintain any brand of guttering, whether plastic, metal or aluminium. Regular cleaning and inspections — particularly after autumn or periods of heavy rain — help prevent blockages and prolong the system’s lifespan.
WHY WE USE OSMA AND ALUFLOW
Both OSMA and Aluflow guttering systems are manufactured to British Standards (BS EN 607 and BS EN 12200-1), ensuring consistent quality and tested performance in UK weather conditions.
OSMA systems provide a practical, cost-effective option for most properties, while Aluflow offers a more durable, long-term alternative with a refined appearance. By combining the right materials with careful installation, we ensure every system we fit is watertight, durable and built to last.
WHY GUTTERING MATTERS
Although often overlooked, guttering is one of the most important parts of a roofline. Properly installed gutters prevent rainwater from damaging brickwork, fascias, soffits and foundations, avoiding problems that can become expensive to fix later on.
At Rogers Roofing, we make sure every system, whether new or existing, is correctly aligned, securely fixed and performing as it should.
