Tower Hamlets and the slopes beneath Western Heights are steep, windy and densely built, so gutters take fast run-off and a lot of weather. We clean gutters and clear downpipes here from £60, and every gutter clean includes free cobweb cleaning.
The houses
The hillside west of the harbour is built up with long terraces stepping up the slope. Houses are close together, with shared walls, shared drains in places and narrow frontages. Western Heights rises above, and the whole area is exposed to the wind.
What the gutters face
On a slope, rain runs quickly along the roof and into the gutter in a rush, so any partial blockage turns into an overflow. Wind can drive rain sideways under gutters on exposed gables. Many homes keep their original cast iron, which needs regular paint and care.
Streets and patches
We cover Tower Hamlets and the streets beneath Western Heights in CT17. Terraces that share a downpipe with a neighbour are common here, so mention it when you message us.
Common questions
Do you work on steep streets?
Yes. Include your street and a photo of the house front so we can see the layout.
My downpipe is shared with next door. Is that a problem?
Not usually. Tell us in your message and we will look at it from your photos.
