Roofing & property care in Reedness
Reedness lies on the south bank of the River Ouse, about three miles east of Goole. Through Little Reedness the road runs close beside the river's flood bank, and the main street holds a run of Grade II listed eighteenth-century brick buildings, including the Old Manor, Reedness Hall and the Ferry House, thought from its tie-bar ends to date from 1778.
Gutters on older houses like these, and on the village's newer homes, all face the same damp, windy riverside conditions. Advanced Property Care provides guttering services in Reedness, covering the village from York. We clean, unblock, repair and replace gutters and downpipes, and quote in writing with photographs of what we find. Where a property is listed, we take care to suit the existing style of rainwater goods. Newer homes are covered too.

Roofs in Reedness: what we look out for
Older properties in Reedness may still have cast iron gutters and downpipes, sometimes with hoppers, while later houses usually have plastic systems. Cast iron rusts at joints and brackets, and older plastic becomes brittle and loses its fall. Wind along the Ouse puts strain on long runs and can loosen brackets, especially on gutters fixed to fascias that have softened.
Moss from roofs, leaves from garden trees and dust from the surrounding fields gather in gutters and wash into downpipes, where they settle and block bends and shoes. Overflowing water then runs down the walls, and on older soft brick that can lead to damp and spalling. South of the village, the farmland and drainage ditches mean surface water already has enough to cope with, so rainwater needs to be carried away from walls properly. Moss from pantiles is a frequent culprit.

Guttering for Reedness homes
We clear gutters by hand, flush them through and check every downpipe for blockages. Leaking joints are resealed or replaced, and sagging runs are re-fixed with new brackets to restore the fall towards the outlet. We also check gullies at ground level, so water leaving the downpipe has somewhere to go.
Where guttering is beyond repair, we replace it with a system that suits the property. On listed or older buildings, that can mean like-for-like repairs or cast iron-style replacements, and we will flag where consent may be required. On modern homes, we may suggest larger-capacity gutters if the existing ones cannot cope with heavy rain. Every visit includes a check of the fascias behind the gutters and photos of the work.

Questions from Reedness homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can you repair cast iron gutters on an older house in Reedness?
Yes, where the cast iron is still sound. Joints can be resealed, brackets replaced and sections repainted to protect them. If parts have rusted through, we can replace sections or the whole system, matching the style where needed. On listed properties, check with the council before changing materials or appearance.
Why is the brickwork under my gutter staining green?
Green staining usually means water is regularly overflowing or dripping onto that spot. Common causes are a blocked gutter, a leaking joint or a downpipe that is cracked or disconnected. Over time, constant wetting can damage brick and pointing. Fixing the gutter is the first step to letting the wall dry out.
How do wind and river exposure affect gutters?
Strong winds can loosen brackets and push water over the front of gutters, while damp air means debris stays wet and compacts into silt. Long runs on exposed elevations are most affected. Checking brackets and clearing gutters regularly helps them cope, and we can add extra brackets where runs have started to sag.
Do you clear blocked downpipes?
Yes. We clear blockages from the top, at the hopper or at the shoe, depending on where the debris has settled, and test the flow afterwards. If the blockage is in the underground drain rather than the downpipe, we will let you know so you can arrange a drainage specialist if needed.
