Downpipe repair across London
Specialist downpipe repair as part of our 24/7 drainage service. Same fixed pricing, same 30 to 60 minute target response, same 12-month guarantee.
Cracked, dislodged or blocked downpipe repair and replacement section work. Matches existing PVC, cast-iron, or aluminium runs.
What we repair, end to end
Single-section downpipe replacement, joint re-sealing, shoe replacement at the bottom, or full vertical replacement. PVC matched to existing colour; cast-iron repaired with epoxy where small, replaced where structural. Bracket inspection and renewal as part of every job.
When to repair vs replace
Single crack or split section
Replace just that section; leave the rest in place.
Downpipe detached at a bracket
Re-bracket and re-seal; takes under an hour usually.
Shoe broken at the bottom
Common at ground level; we replace the shoe and re-route to the gully.
Cast-iron downpipe with corrosion
Spot-treat with epoxy if structural; full replacement if rust-through.
What it costs (indicative)
Per-section labour and parts. Cast-iron more expensive than PVC. Full pricing.
When to call us
- ✔ A downpipe is cracked or has detached.
- ✔ There's water running down the wall instead of into the gully.
- ✔ The shoe at the bottom is broken.
- ✔ Cast-iron downpipes show rust and need spot-treatment.
