What is Finlock concrete guttering, and why is it used?
Finlock concrete guttering, commonly found in homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, was initially introduced as a temporary solution. Post-war Britain experienced a shortage of metal, so concrete emerged as an alternative to traditional gutters. Although practical at the time, Finlock gutters have since led to persistent issues, such as leaks, damp spots, and even structural damage, including displaced windows. For these reasons, many homeowners now choose to replace Finlock gutters with modern uPVC systems that offer improved performance, aesthetics, and durability.
Why should I replace my concrete gutters instead of repairing them?
Repairing concrete gutters is often a short-term fix, as they are prone to structural problems like:
- Leaks and Dampness: Concrete gutters frequently crack, allowing water to seep inside your home and cause damage.
- Cold Bridging: They allow cold air to pass through, leading to heat loss and condensation.
- Structural Stress: Concrete gutters are heavy and can place excessive pressure on your home’s structure, which may cause sagging walls or misaligned windows.
- Frequent Repairs: Constant maintenance is often needed, which can become both costly and time-consuming.
Instead of temporary repairs, replacing concrete gutters with uPVC is a reliable, long-term solution. It prevents future leaks, protects against water damage, and improves the appearance of your property while lowering ongoing maintenance costs.
What are the signs that my concrete gutters need to be replaced?
Several signs indicate that it may be time to replace your concrete gutters, such as:
- Visible leaks or cracks
- Water damage on walls or the foundation
- Overflowing gutters during rain
- Sagging or other structural issues with the guttering
If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to consider replacement sooner rather than later.
What materials do you use for gutter replacements?
We use Grade A uPVC for all gutter replacements. This material is known for its durability, low-maintenance requirements, and resistance to harsh weather. Unlike metal, it does not rust or corrode and comes in various colours to match your property’s style.
What are the benefits of uPVC gutters over concrete gutters?
Switching from concrete to uPVC gutters offers multiple advantages:
- Durability: uPVC gutters are long-lasting and require minimal upkeep.
- Better Drainage: Modern systems drain water more effectively and help prevent leaks.
- Enhanced Appearance: Sleeker than bulky concrete, uPVC improves curb appeal.
- Cost-Effective: uPVC is a budget-friendly choice with lower maintenance needs.
- Weather-Resistant: Unlike concrete, uPVC won’t rust, crack, or corrode under different weather conditions.
How long does it take to replace concrete gutters with uPVC?
Installation time varies based on property size and installation complexity. Most projects are completed within 1-3 days. If we foresee any changes to this timeline based on property photos, we will inform you before starting the job.
Does TaylorMade Concrete Guttering Solutions offer a warranty on guttering?
Absolutely! We offer a 10-year warranty on all our Grade A uPVC gutter installations. This warranty reflects our commitment to quality and gives you peace of mind for the long term. Simply keep your invoice and warranty documentation to ensure coverage. If you ever sell your home, this warranty can be transferred to the new owner, enhancing your property’s resale value.
How much does it cost to replace concrete gutters?
The cost of replacing your concrete gutters with uPVC depends on factors like the size of your property and the complexity of the installation. We offer free, no-obligation quote and a fixed price guarantee with no hidden costs. Just fill in our form and we will provide you with a quote or call TaylorMade on 0800 567 7353.

Do I need to order a skip?
No, there’s no need to worry about arranging waste disposal. We’ll handle all waste removal, including arranging a skip, and the cost is included in our fixed price. Contact us for more details on our waste removal process.
Do uPVC gutters require maintenance?
uPVC gutters are designed to be low-maintenance and long-lasting. They resist rust, corrosion, and cracking, unlike concrete or metal. We recommend clearing debris, like leaves and moss, once or twice a year to keep them functioning optimally. Regular cleanings prevent blockages, ensuring they perform at their best over the years.
Can you replace Finlock gutters without damaging the rest of my property?
Yes, we take every precaution to protect your home during the gutter replacement process. Our team conducts a thorough risk assessment and uses specialised tools and techniques to safely remove concrete gutters without causing damage to walls, roofs, or windows. After installation, we clean up all debris, leaving no mess behind.
What is the process for Gutter Replacement?
At TaylorMade Concrete Guttering Solutions Ltd., we’ve developed a streamlined seven-step process to ensure your concrete guttering is replaced quickly, efficiently, and to the highest standards. Here’s how we do it:
Preparation
After greeting you, we’ll conduct a thorough risk assessment to ensure the safety of everyone on-site. We’ll bring all our own equipment, carefully placing it to avoid any damage to your property or garden. You can prepare by moving outdoor furniture, vehicles, and closing windows.
Initial Checks
We’ll lift the first few rows of roof tiles and disconnect any cables running along your gutters. We’ll then clear out debris such as moss and leaves to ensure a clean working area.
Removing the ‘Biscuits’
The ‘biscuits’—hanging plates at the front of your gutters—will be removed, and we’ll carefully cut the concrete guttering into sections for safe disposal. We’ll arrange a skip for waste, so you don’t have to worry about clean-up.
Installing the Timber Base
After grinding the concrete smooth, we’ll attach treated timber to form a sturdy base for your new uPVC guttering. This timber also acts as insulation, preventing warping and minimising future maintenance.
Fitting Your uPVC Guttering
We’ll install new uPVC fascia boards to direct rainwater into your gutters and prevent water from seeping down your walls. The new guttering will be securely fitted, with screws hidden for a clean, sleek look.
Replacing Roof Tiles
Eaves trays will be installed to prevent water from getting behind your new timber base, and if necessary, we’ll replace damaged roof felt with a breathable membrane to prevent leaks. Your roof tiles will then be put back in place.
Final Touches
Once the installation is complete, we’ll install downpipes, seal all joints, and leave your brickwork clean and your new guttering shining. We’ll perform final quality checks, and follow up with a phone call to ensure you’re 100% satisfied with our work.
