Clearing and repairing downpipes across Cheltenham
A downpipe overflowing at the top, dripping at the collars or running against the wall is usually blocked at a bend or an underground gulley, or has a cracked socket. On Cheltenham’s Regency terraces the pipes are often cast iron off concealed parapet outlets; in the suburbs they are standard uPVC and cast iron on the eaves.

Frequently asked questions
How much to clear a blocked downpipe in Cheltenham? A simple eaves downpipe clear is £60 to £95. A parapet-fed cast iron pipe or an underground gulley blockage is £110 to £180.
Why does my downpipe only overflow in heavy rain? A partial blockage lower down lets normal flow through but backs up in a downpour. Clearing it usually fixes the overflow with no new parts.
Can a leaking downpipe cause damp indoors? Yes - a pipe leaking against a wall is a common cause of penetrating damp on Cheltenham’s older brick and stucco terraces. Best sorted promptly.
