Twinplas Guttering in Leeds
Leeds has the largest surviving collection of back-to-back houses in the UK, with the biggest clusters in Harehills, Beeston Hill, Armley, Burley and Holbeck, and they were built mostly in red brick under Welsh slate with timber gutters resting on brick or stone corbels at the wall head. A study of the Harehills Triangle found that gutter detail common to every house and mostly still in place, so on these streets the timber trough is the norm, not the exception. Twinplas, which we have fitted in Leeds, sits in the trough’s position on sound or renewed corbels, so a terrace keeps the eaves line it was built with. Where a street lies in one of the city’s 80 conservation areas, we confirm what applies before anything is ordered.

Roofing in Leeds
Leeds has the largest surviving collection of back-to-back houses in the UK — some 19,500 were still standing in 2008, with the biggest clusters in Harehills, Beeston Hill, Armley, Burley and Holbeck, and the last built as late as 1937. Mostly red brick under Welsh slate, many still carry timber gutters on brick or stone corbels at the wall head. Headingley, Far Headingley and Roundhay grew instead as suburbs of stone villas in large plots, and with 80 conservation areas and more than 3,300 listed buildings across the district, the right material matters as much as the repair. We travel to Leeds 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 Leeds
- 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
