Twinplas Guttering in Harrogate
Harrogate’s conservation area appraisal records timber gutters carried on stone or timber modillions across the residential streets north-east of the centre — the very detail Twinplas was made to replace. We have fitted Twinplas in Harrogate, and where one of those timber gutters has rotted it can sit on the sound or repaired modillions and keep the eaves line seen from the street, with nothing left to repaint. The planning picture is clearer than in most towns: the Article 4 direction made for central Harrogate in 2005 covers painting, not gutters. The district’s heritage guidance still expects timber or cast iron of traditional section, though, so on a listed building we would quote new timber like-for-like rather than PVC.

Roofing in Harrogate
Harrogate was largely built in one long spa-town burst: the railway reached the centre in 1862, the population doubled between 1841 and 1871, the Victoria Park Company laid out the streets around Victoria Avenue, and most of the Duchy of Lancaster’s estate went up in the first two decades of the twentieth century. The building stone is local carboniferous sandstone, often called gritstone, under the Welsh slate the railway made cheap, with Rosemary tiles appearing on Edwardian houses. The Harrogate Conservation Area, designated in 1973, covers the Victorian centre around the 200-acre Stray. We travel to Harrogate for Twinplas, heritage guttering and listed building roofing.
What's included in our twinplas gutters service
- Twinplas twin-wall PVC box gutter in 3 m, 5 m and 6 m lengths, under 3 kg a metre
- Removal of the rotten timber trough and repair or renewal of the corbels, brackets and timber behind it
- Sleeve connectors with factory-fitted rubber gasket seals at every joint, plus matching outlets and mitred corners
- Correct falls set along the whole run so water reaches the outlet instead of sitting in the gutter
- New downpipes, swan necks and hopper heads where the old ones have failed
- Water test through to the downpipes and handover photographs on every job
Replacing a timber trough with Twinplas costs around £1,000 per side of a terraced house — front or back — supplied and fitted. It costs more per metre than standard uPVC guttering but avoids the joinery and lining a new timber trough needs. Corbel or bracket replacement and new downpipes are priced on top, and every job is quoted fixed in writing after a free survey. See our full price guide.
When to call us in Harrogate
- Your terrace has a wooden box gutter at the top of the wall rather than plastic guttering on a fascia
- Water drips or pours from the joints or underside of the trough when it rains
- Green or dark staining runs down the brickwork below the gutter line
- Damp is showing at the top of a bedroom wall or ceiling just inside the eaves
- The trough is sagging, twisting or pulling away from the wall, or the timber is soft and split
