Trusted for gutter & roofline restoration by Bank of Ireland
Cork is the wettest of Ireland's cities — the harbour and the hills wring more rain out of Atlantic fronts than anywhere else we work, and the gutters take it first. The city's terraced stock climbing Sunday's Well and Montenotte still carries original cast iron guttering and decorative ogee profiles; the suburban estates of Douglas, Ballincollig and Bishopstown run on uPVC guttering now 30–40 years old and gone brittle; and harbour-side homes from Blackrock to Cobh deal with salt corrosion on every metal component. The result is the full catalogue: leaking gutters, blocked gutters under the city's heavy leaf-fall, sagging gutters on tired fascia, cracked gutters from frost on the north-facing hills, and overflowing gutters wherever a Victorian outlet meets a modern downpour.
From our North Point base we cover the city and county: gutter repairs and re-sealing, uPVC gutter replacement, seamless aluminium guttering roll-formed on site, cast iron restoration on the period stock, gutter cleaning with photo reports, gutter guards, and complete fascia and soffit roofline packages. It's part of our full guttering, fascia & soffit service — 4-hour emergency response across Cork, and the same 10-year written guarantee as every Recommended Roofing job.

Cork's rainfall finds every perished union — the classic drip line along the patio that only shows in real rain. We re-seal gutter joints with the correct sealant or replace failed unions and corners, and on cast iron we check the hidden back edge where rust does its quiet work.
Heavy autumn leaf-fall across Douglas, Glanmire and the Lee valley fills gutters fast, and moss washed off older roofs silts the runs between cleans. Full hand clearance, downpipes rodded through, and gutter guards where the same gutters block every year.
Decades of Cork weather rot the fascia behind a leaking gutter until brackets have nothing to hold. We re-bracket to sound timber at correct centres or replace the fascia — hanging new gutters on rotten boards is a job done twice.
Frost on the north-facing hillsides and ladder damage account for most cracked gutters we see. Individual sections replaced where the system is sound; honest advice when 35-year-old uPVC has gone chalky and brittle end to end.
The harbour squalls dump serious water fast — undersized outlets and flat runs can't cope. We re-set falls and size outlets and downpipes to BS EN 12056 rainfall standards so the system handles a Cork downpour, not a national average.
Blocked downpipes back a full run up in minutes. Cleared at the swan neck or shoe, hopper heads cleaned out, and re-routed where a previous extension left a downpipe doing two roofs' work.

Most gutter problems start above the gutter — a slipped slate dumping water past the drip edge, a failed valley overloading one outlet. Because we're roofing contractors first, we diagnose the roof and the rainwater system together, so the fix addresses the cause rather than the symptom.
Our Construction Industry Register Ireland registration is publicly searchable. CIRI requires demonstrated competence, insurance compliance and commitment to Irish building regulations. It protects you against unregistered traders and is the most reliable independent verification available in the Irish market.
Our public liability cover is €6.5 million, held with Zurich, alongside membership of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF). Working at eaves height on ladders and towers is exactly the work insurance exists for — you can verify our cover independently before we set foot on site.
Every gutter, fascia and soffit installation carries our 10-year written workmanship guarantee, on top of manufacturer product warranties of 10–25 years on brand-name systems (Brett Martin, Lindab, Alutec). The certificate is provided at handover, before the invoice.

Why do my gutters overflow in Cork even after cleaning?
Cork gets the heaviest rain of any Irish city, and many older systems were never sized for it — undersized Victorian outlets, flat runs, or one downpipe serving two roofs. We re-set the falls and size outlets and downpipes to BS EN 12056 rainfall standards, which is the permanent fix.
Do you restore cast iron and ogee gutters on Cork's older houses?
Yes. The terraces of Sunday's Well, Montenotte and the city centre carry original cast iron and decorative ogee guttering we restore rather than replace: re-hanging, re-sealing, recasting failed sections like-for-like and redecorating in place. Where replacement is the only option, cast-effect aluminium keeps the period profile.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Cork?
Once a year minimum; twice where trees overhang — common across Douglas, Glanmire and the older suburbs. Every clean includes downpipes rodded through and a photo report of your roofline condition. Repeat blockers get gutter guards, which turn an annual problem into an occasional check.
Do you replace fascia and soffit with the gutters?
Where the fascia is rotten, yes — always. New gutters screwed to failed timber sag within a season. The full roofline package strips the old boards, treats the rafter feet and fits uPVC fascia and vented soffit before the new gutters are hung.
Are you insured and registered for gutter work in Cork?
Yes — €6.5 million public liability insurance, CIRI registration (verifiable at ciri.ie) and CIF membership, the same credentials as our roofing work for Bank of Ireland branches across Munster. Certificates on request.
Do you do emergency gutter repairs in Cork?
Yes — 24/7, with a 4-hour target across Cork city and the near suburbs. A storm-torn gutter dumping water down a gable is an emergency worth treating as one; the call-out fee is credited in full against the permanent repair.
Free roofline survey and written quotation within 48 hours. 10-year written guarantee on all installation work, and a Lifetime Leak Guarantee on every full roofline replacement.
