About us and how we work
At TLG Gutter we strive to fulfil our mission of effectively removing concrete gutters and replacing them with an affordable, durable and attractive aluminium guttering system that is guaranteed of the highest quality. Over the last decade our completed work based on our wealth of knowledge and expertise has earned us a reputation for our exceptional professionalism and quality. Our clients across England include local authorities, domestic properties of all types and commercial properties.
HOW WE WORK?
Step 1
The house is scaffolded with our own equipment wherever possible. We use 'MAC' access equipment passed by the EU Health and Safety.
Step 2

The bottom row of tiles is removed. The concrete finlock gutters are then removed with a saw so that when the new seamless and continuous aluminium gutters are fitted the tiles have the correct overhang.
Step 3
Treated timber is then fitted to carry the PVC fascia boards and small soffits which have a deeper return above the windows to marry into them. this hides any sign of the finlock concrete gutters

Step 4
A vent is fitted to the top of the fascia board to comply to latest BBA specification. Read article

Step 5
The felt is repaired with eavesguard designed by us and made from recycled plastic from window frame manufacturers this has the same life and uv protection as PVC windows.
This has a hinge so that it will not crack over the wall as normal eavesguard does. |

Step 6
Where required birdguard is fitted to below the tiles to prevent access of birds for nesting. On many houses there are a row of rosemary tiles cemented to the lowest row of tiles and this may cause a number of tiles to break when they are removed. We will replace these tiles with new and sort them so that the new tiles are on the rear of the house.

Step 7
Aluminium gutter is roll formed on site to the lengths required. This is then fitted to BBA specification (The paint carries a 30 yr guarantee) There are no joints so you cannot have any leaks. The gutter carries three times the volume of water that plastic square gutter carries. Downpipes are plastic but Aluminium are available for an additional cost.

Step 8
As we work, all the old conctrete finlock gutters etc are put into a skip on site so no rubble is left lying around.
Step 9
We have a patented adaptor which allows water to flow form the finlock concrete gutters of a neighbour's semi into the new aluminium gutter. This is vital as the original gutters are fitted level and the water must be able to flow freely in any direction.
