Concrete & Finlock Gutters Replaced for Good
Leaking Finlock gutters in Oxford? Premier Roofing Oxford removes old concrete gutters and replaces them with new fascias and uPVC guttering. Concrete gutter replacement typically costs £800–£1,000 per side of the house, and most homes are completed in 1–2 days.
Concrete (Finlock) gutters were common on homes built from the 1950s to the 1970s. Over time the joints crack and the concrete becomes porous, so water leaks into the cavity wall and causes damp patches, mould and cold spots inside. Patching rarely lasts, so replacing them is usually the permanent fix. We are rated 4.9★ from 190+ Google reviews.

Signs Your Concrete Gutters Are Leaking
Leaking concrete gutters often show up inside first, which is why the damp is sometimes blamed on something else.
Reline or Replace Concrete Gutters?

Concrete Gutter FAQs
How much does it cost to replace concrete gutters?
Replacing concrete or Finlock gutters with uPVC typically costs £800–£1,000 per side of the house, so around £1,600–£2,000 for two sides and £3,200–£4,000 for four sides, including removal.
What are Finlock gutters?
Finlock gutters are precast concrete gutters that sit on top of the walls, common on UK homes built from the 1950s to the 1970s. They double as the roof edge and the gutter.
Why do concrete gutters cause damp?
As concrete gutters age, the joints crack and the concrete becomes porous. Water then leaks into the top of the cavity wall, causing damp patches, mould and cold spots inside.
Can concrete gutters be repaired?
They can be relined or patched, but repairs often fail as the concrete continues to deteriorate. Replacing them with fascias and uPVC guttering is usually the permanent solution.
How long does concrete gutter replacement take?
Most homes are completed in one to two days, depending on how many sides are being replaced and access.
Do I need scaffolding?
Usually yes, because concrete gutter sections are heavy and the roof edge needs rebuilding. We include safe access in your quote.
Will replacing concrete gutters stop my damp?
If the damp is caused by leaking concrete gutters, replacing them removes the source. Walls then need time to dry out. We check whether the gutters are the likely cause during the survey.
Do you offer free surveys?
Yes. Surveys and quotes are free, with no obligation and no upfront fees.
Finlock Gutter Problems and How to Fix Them
Finlock gutters are the concrete gutters built into thousands of homes across Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s. They were quick and cheap to put up, but after sixty years or more most of them are leaking, and the damp usually shows up inside the house first.
What are the most common Finlock gutter problems?
- Leaking joints between the concrete sections
- Damp patches and black mould on ceilings and walls just below the gutter line
- Cracked or crumbling concrete along the front edge
- Cold spots and condensation, because the concrete carries cold straight into the walls
- Old linings that have split and started leaking again
Can Finlock gutters be repaired?
They can be relined with a waterproof membrane, which buys you a few years. The concrete keeps moving though, so the joints often open up again. Removing the concrete gutters and fitting new fascias with uPVC guttering is the permanent fix, and it is what we recommend for most homes.
How much does it cost to remove Finlock gutters?
Finlock gutter removal and replacement in Oxford typically costs £800 to £1,000 per side of the house, including taking the concrete away, new fascias and new uPVC guttering. Most jobs take one to two days.
Is concrete gutter removal worth it?
Yes, for most homes. It stops the damp at the source, removes a heavy and failing structure from the roof edge, and makes the house easier to sell, as surveyors often flag Finlock gutters on reports. If you are not sure, we will come out and check them for free.
