What can go wrong when removing concrete guttering?

Tom Mather

Removing concrete gutters can seem like a straightforward task, but it can actually be quite complex and challenging. We will discuss some of the difficulties that can arise when removing concrete gutters and what you can do to prepare for these challenges.

One of the biggest challenges when removing concrete guttering is accessing them. Gutters can be located in hard-to-reach areas, such as on the roof or on a tall building. In these cases, special equipment and techniques may be necessary to safely remove the gutters.


Concrete gutters are also heavy and can be difficult to handle, especially if they are large. This can make removing them a dangerous task, and it is important to have the proper equipment and techniques in place to ensure the safety of workers and those around the job site.


Moreover, removing concrete gutters can also cause damage to surrounding structures, such as the roof or walls of a building. This is why it is important to hire a contractor who has experience and expertise in removing concrete gutters to minimize the risk of damage.


Once the gutters have been removed, they must be properly disposed of. This can be a challenge, especially if the gutters are large or have broken into pieces.


Removing concrete gutters can also be time-consuming and expensive. It is important to budget for the cost of removal as well replacing your gutters. We replace all concrete guttering with uPVC guttering. It's light weight and extremely durable.
