Expert Roofline That Keeps Water Off Your Walls
Guttering is the system of gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits, your "roofline", that catches rainwater off the roof and carries it safely away from the building. When it works, you never give it a thought. When it fails, water spills down the walls, soaks into the fascia timbers, and works its way into the brickwork and roof, which is exactly where the expensive damage begins. Sound roofline is the cheapest insurance your home has.
In West Cornwall, where roofs catch a lot of wind-driven rain off the Atlantic, guttering does real work and has to be specified and set up properly. Steve repairs, replaces and clears the lot, and gives you an expert recommendation on whether a run needs renewing or simply clearing and re-fixing, so your roofline is set up to handle every Cornish downpour, with the falls and fixings right.

The Roofline Work We Carry Out
Across West Cornwall's homes and commercial buildings, this is the roofline work we're trusted with most:
Gutter repair & re-fixing
Sealing leaking joints, re-setting the falls and re-fixing sagging runs so water flows cleanly to the downpipe.
Gutter replacement
Full new guttering and downpipes where the old runs are split, brittle or beyond repair, sized for the rainfall a Cornish roof sheds.
Gutter clearing
Clearing out leaves, moss and debris that cause overflows, damp walls and the slow damage that follows.
Fascias & soffits
Repair and full replacement of the boards behind and below the gutter, in low-maintenance uPVC or traditional timber to suit the property.
Downpipes, hoppers & outlets
Renewed so the water actually reaches the drain instead of pooling at the base of the wall.
Lead box gutters
Hand-fabricated and fitted for larger and heritage roofs where a standard gutter will not do the job. A genuine leadwork specialism, and the reason "leadwork" is in our name.

Your timbers stay sound.Sound fascias and soffits keep the roof edge sealed, so the rafter ends and roof timbers stay dry and protected for the long term.
It copes with every downpour.Correctly sized gutters set to the right falls handle heavy Cornish rain comfortably, so the roofline does its job quietly, year after year.
It protects the whole roof.The roofline is the roof first line of defence at the edges: keep it sound and you protect everything above and behind it. And it is all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Why choose us
Why Choose Us for Guttering & Roofline
What sets us apart on roofline is range. Standard uPVC guttering, traditional timber fascias, or a hand-fabricated lead box gutter on a heritage roof: Steve does all three, because he's an NVQ-qualified roofer and leadwork specialist. That lead box gutter capability is rare among roofers and a real advantage on the larger and period roofs of West Cornwall, where a standard plastic gutter simply can't manage the water. All lead is worked to recognised industry standards, the Lead Sheet Association's guidance and BS EN 12588, the British Standard for rolled lead sheet, which set out the correct codes and detailing so the lead holds firm in coastal wind and rain.
You're also in fully insured hands (public liability, employers' liability and hot-works cover for fabricating lead) with over 10 years' experience on Cornish roofs behind every job, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee on the work. Whatever your roofline needs, it's done by the right specialist.

About the Roofer, Steve Biggs
Guttering and roofline work is carried out by Steve Biggs, owner of West Cornwall Roofing & Leadwork. Steve has over 10 years' roofing experience across Penzance and West Cornwall, and is NVQ-qualified in roofing and leadwork, holds a flat-roofing certificate and a CSCS card, and is certified in working at height and asbestos awareness. The leadwork NVQ is what lets him offer hand-made lead box gutters alongside standard roofline work.
“Roofline is the unsung part of a roof: get the falls and the fixings right and a gutter just quietly does its job for years. And on the big heritage roofs round here, where plastic won't cope, I can fabricate a lead box gutter to code. That range is what the roofing and leadwork training gives you.”Steve Biggs, owner and leadwork specialist

How Our Roofline Quotes Work
Every property is different, so an accurate price starts with a proper look. What shapes a guttering quote is how much guttering, fascia or soffit is being repaired or replaced, whether it is standard uPVC, timber or a hand-fabricated lead box gutter, the height and access of the run, and whether scaffolding or a tower is needed for safe working.
What you can always count on: a free inspection, a clear written quote that sets out exactly what's being done, and an expert recommendation on whether to clear and repair or replace, so you know precisely what's being carried out, why, and what it costs before any work starts.
Frequently asked questions
Why do my gutters keep overflowing?+
Usually a blockage, the wrong falls, or failed joints letting water out before it reaches the downpipe. Steve finds and fixes the actual cause and re-sets the falls so the gutter copes with heavy Cornish rain, rather than clearing it once and leaving the same problem to return next winter.
Do you replace fascias and soffits as well as gutters?+
Yes: repair and full replacement of fascias and soffits in low-maintenance uPVC or traditional timber to suit your property. Renewing them keeps the roof edge sealed and protects the rafter ends and roof timbers behind, which is what stops rot taking hold.
Can you fit lead box gutters?+
Yes. Lead box gutters are a core leadwork specialism, hand-fabricated and fitted for larger and heritage roofs where a standard plastic gutter cannot manage the water. It is a skill few roofers offer. See our leadwork page for more.
Do you fit guttering on commercial buildings?+
Yes. We carry out guttering and roofline work on commercial and larger buildings as well as homes, including the bigger runs and box gutters those roofs often call for, with the right access and safe working at height.
