What is a concrete/Finlock gutter?

Concrete gutters, also known as Finlock gutters were built between 1950s-1970s as a substitute for other precious metals that were used in the war effort. They are concrete gutters built onto homes and typically sit flat on the home.

Concrete gutters have proven to be porous in their life and eventually will begin to fail, letting in water and causing a lot of damage. Water damage can present in many ways. Water can sit in the pipes for a long time and cause puddling, where the gutters begin to collect water and damage the fabric of the gutters. This can lead to sagging in places and even cause the gutters to separate and breakdown. Additionally, mould and damp can grow in your home from poorly built and poorly maintained Finlock gutters.

For this reason, concrete/Finlock gutters need a lot of maintenance and repairs over their lifetime to stay in working condition. Having a full concrete gutter removal and replacement can be incredibly expensive and should only be undertaken after careful consideration and planning. Luckily, there is an alternative that can be far more cost-effective and efficient.
