Gutter Repair Netherlands
The Netherlands receives over 800mm of rainfall each year, and your gutters are the first line of defence. Leaking, overflowing, or damaged gutters? Our English-speaking gutter specialists repair, clean, and replace all types of gutters across the country — fast and affordably.
Why Gutters Matter in the Dutch Climate
The Netherlands receives approximately 800mm of rainfall every year, spread across more than 130 rainy days. Your gutters silently channel thousands of litres of water away from your roof, walls, and foundation. When they fail, the consequences are far more serious than a simple drip — water infiltrates brickwork, saturates insulation, and pools around foundations where it can cause subsidence.
Damaged or blocked gutters are one of the leading causes of damp walls (vochtproblemen), mould growth, and expensive structural repairs in Dutch homes. The combination of heavy autumn leaf fall and frequent rain creates the perfect conditions for gutter blockages. A small investment in gutter maintenance today prevents thousands of euros in water damage tomorrow.
Overflowing gutters
Debris buildup causes water to spill over edges, staining facades and eroding pointing between bricks.
Leaking joints and cracks
Temperature changes cause metal gutters to expand and contract, breaking sealant at joints and causing persistent drips.
Sagging and detachment
Worn brackets and heavy water loads cause gutters to sag, pull away from the fascia, and eventually collapse.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.9/5 based on 200+ reviews
"Our gutters were overflowing every time it rained, causing water to pool around our foundation. They replaced the entire zinc system in one day and it works perfectly now. Very happy with the quality of work and the English-speaking team."
"Quick repair of a leaking zinc gutter joint on our 1930s home. Very professional and they explained everything in English, which made the whole process so much easier. They also spotted a second problem joint and fixed it before it became a leak."
"They installed leaf guards on all our gutters after years of us climbing ladders every autumn. Now we barely need to clean them and the water flows perfectly even during heavy rain. Great value for money and excellent service."
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about gutter repair in the Netherlands.
How often should gutters be cleaned in the Netherlands?
We recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year - in late autumn after leaf fall and in early spring. Dutch weather with heavy rainfall makes regular gutter maintenance essential to prevent water damage.
What types of gutters are common in Dutch homes?
The most common gutter materials in the Netherlands are zinc (zinken dakgoot), PVC, aluminum, and copper. Older homes often have zinc gutters, while newer builds typically use PVC or aluminum systems.
How much does gutter replacement cost in the Netherlands?
Gutter replacement costs depend on the material and length. PVC gutters start around €20-€30 per meter, zinc gutters €40-€60 per meter, and copper gutters €80+ per meter, including installation.
Can you repair a leaking gutter joint?
Yes. Leaking joints are one of the most common gutter problems. We reseal joints, replace worn gaskets, and apply professional sealant to stop leaks permanently.
Do you provide gutter guards or leaf screens?
Yes. We install gutter guards and leaf screens to reduce debris buildup and minimize the need for frequent cleaning. This is especially useful for homes near trees.
What happens if gutters are not maintained?
Neglected gutters can cause water overflow, foundation damage, damp walls (vochtproblemen), mold growth, and even structural damage. Regular maintenance is far cheaper than repairing water damage.
