Gutters and drainage in Villa Park
If you are re-roofing anyway, gutters are the one add-on that is genuinely cheaper done at the same time.
Describe the gutters job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Villa Park contractors who do this work.

No provider in Villa Park is taking requests through this service yet. We are lining them up, and yours is kept until one can.
- Nobody gets your details yet. Your request stays with us and is not passed to any company.
- One email when someone can help. When a provider covering your area can take it on, we email you once and ask whether you want that company, by name, to contact you.
- Deleted after 90 days. If nobody can take it on, or you do not say yes, your contact details are deleted 90 days after your request.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
Nobody will call you about this request unless you say yes to a company by name.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a gutters job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Seamless or sectional, and what gauge of aluminium
- Gutter size against the roof area draining into it
- Condition of the fascia behind the old gutter
- Number and position of downspouts
- Where the water is discharged, and how far from the foundation
Guards reduce cleaning; they do not eliminate it. Treat any product sold as maintenance-free with suspicion.
Size matters more than people think. Five-inch gutter on a large steep roof will overshoot in heavy rain no matter how clean it is.
Check the fascia before the gutter goes back up. Hanging new metal off soft wood buys you a year.
Locally
Close behind that: shaded slopes that never really dry out. The north side of a house here ages years faster than the south side, and almost every roof gets replaced because of it.
About gutters here
How much deposit is normal?
Ten to thirty per cent is ordinary, and is often used to order material. A demand for full payment up front is a reason to walk away.
How long does a re-roof take?
Two days is typical for asphalt. Add days for steep pitch, multiple layers to strip, tile work, or a roof with a lot of valleys and penetrations.
Is this really free?
Yes. You pay nothing, now or later. Roofing contractors pay us for the introduction, which is why the service costs you nothing and why we are upfront that it is how we make money.
It is leaking right now. What do I do?
Contain the water, photograph everything, and get the request in marked as an emergency. A tarp is the right first job. The permanent repair is a separate conversation and a separate price.
Ready for a real number?
No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
