What issues do concrete gutters cause?

Concrete gutters, also referred to as Finlock guttering, are far from a long-term solution for almost all homes in the UK. The initial benefit of concrete guttering was how cost-effective they were in the short term. If damp gets into the property, you can decorate over it, but it will come back.

Lining the concrete

When you are looking at companies that offer Gutter Repairs in the Cardiff area, you could choose to line the concrete gutters with different materials that would help for a time, but you will need to replace the concrete guttering sooner rather than later. Lead, for example, is a ductile and soft material that has high corrosive resistance to water. The bigger issue with lead is it is toxic, and it will only remain effective for up to 20 years.
