Twinplas Guttering in York
We have fitted Twinplas in York, a city with a long timber-gutter tradition: the Royal Commission’s survey of the city recorded timber eaves cornices carrying concealed gutters on Georgian houses in Bootham, and the terraced suburbs that followed — Bishophill from the 1850s, Scarcroft by 1889, South Bank mostly by the 1890s — went up in brick under Welsh slate. Where a terrace still has a timber trough and it has rotted, Twinplas keeps the box profile seen from the street without new joinery. It is PVC, though, and the Bishophill appraisal counts plastic replacements as harm to the area’s character, so inside York’s 35 conservation areas, and on any listed house, we check what applies first and fit timber or cast iron wherever the original material has to stay.

Roofing in York
York’s roofs span every era: Welsh slate over Victorian terraces in Fishergate, South Bank and Heworth, handmade clay tile and lead on Georgian streets inside the city walls, interwar semis across Acomb and Dringhouses, and brick-and-pantile villages out at Dunnington, Wheldrake and Escrick. Much of the centre sits within conservation areas, so repairs and re-roofs here call for sympathetic materials and careful detailing — matched tiles, correct mortars and traditional leadwork — alongside the insured, guaranteed workmanship we bring to every job.
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 York
- 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
- A previous repair with sealant or a plastic liner has not held
