01 / Gutters in Rathfarnham

What gutters face on Rathfarnham homes.

A good share of the housing in Rathfarnham dates from the Victorian and Georgian period. Tall elevations, deep eaves and cast iron rainwater goods mean gutter work there is slower, more skilled and worth getting right once. Edwardian houses around Rathfarnham often have timber fascia boards that have sat behind a gutter for a century, and the boards are commonly the first thing to give.

Because the estates in Rathfarnham were built to one specification, problems tend to arrive in clusters — worth knowing if your neighbours have had their gutters done.

Nearby areas we also cover include Knocklyon, Firhouse and Templeogue. See all of South Dublin, or our gutter services across Dublin.

02 / What goes wrong

Common gutter faults here.

  • Cast iron rusted through at the back edge, where it cannot be seen from the ground.
  • Rotten fascia boards pulling the gutter out of line.
  • The same failing joint repeated along a whole row.
  • Sagging runs that have lost their fall.
  • Overflow staining and damp patches on the wall below.
03 / What we would look at first

On a period house we would look first at whether the cast iron can be saved. It often can, and keeping it keeps the look of the street. Where it cannot, like-for-like cast iron or cast-effect aluminium is the route, subject to planning.

Can my cast iron gutters in Rathfarnham be repaired rather than replaced?
