Downpipe Replacement in Alton

Downpipe replacement in Alton for cracked, blocked or badly fitted pipes that drop water against the wall instead of into the drain. New pipe, brackets and shoes, cleared through to the drain.

What Goes Wrong with Downpipes

Pipes crack behind the bracket where you cannot see them, joints pull apart, and the shoe at the bottom snaps off so water hits the wall instead of the gully. Blockages build up at the bends and back the water up into the gutter.

Where the Water Should End Up

A downpipe should discharge into a gully or a back inlet drain, not onto the path. Water landing at the base of a wall soaks the brickwork and can find its way inside. Getting the outlet right matters as much as the pipe itself.

Matching New Pipe to Existing Guttering

Downpipe comes in round and square, in several sizes and colours. We match the new pipe to the gutter you already have so it looks right and the outlet fits. Where the old system is no longer made, we can change the outlet instead of the whole gutter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a downpipe be replaced without changing the gutter?

Yes, in most cases. As long as the gutter is sound and the outlet matches, we can fit a new downpipe on its own. If the profiles are no longer made, we can change the outlet section rather than the whole run.

Why is water running down my wall near the downpipe?

Usually a split behind the pipe, a joint that has come apart or a blockage forcing water out at the top. It is hard to see from the ground because the pipe sits against the wall. We take it off and check it properly.

How long does downpipe replacement take?

A single downpipe is usually a couple of hours. A whole house takes half a day. We clear the gully at the bottom while we are there and run water through to check it drains as it should.
