Roofing in Almondbank
Almondbank has grown a lot and it shows in the roofs.
Almondbank is a small village with a mixed stock — older cottages and traditional stone properties under slate, post-war housing, and modern development. Nothing exotic, and most of it straightforward to work on.
What’s worth saying about Almondbank specifically is that it sits low, beside the River Almond, and water management is something people here already think about. Flooding has been a real local issue.
Why that matters for your roof
Most people think of a roof as protection against water coming down. In a low-lying village, it’s worth thinking about where that water goes once it’s off the roof.
Your gutters and downpipes are a drainage system, and if they’re overflowing they’re depositing rainwater directly against the base of your walls. On damp ground, a blocked gutter has severe consequences.
Where the downpipe discharges matters. A downpipe that empties onto the ground next to the wall is barely better than no downpipe at all.
It should be connected into a drain or at minimum discharging well clear of the building to prevent localized ground saturation.
Damp isn’t always rising. A great many “rising damp” diagnoses turn out, on inspection, to be a gutter that’s been overflowing for years.
It’s free for us to look at, and it’s a lot cheaper to fix than a damp-proofing job you didn’t need. See guttering, fascias and soffits.

FAQ
Yes, along with Almondbank itself and the surrounding area out toward Methven.
Possibly — via the gutter. It’s one of the most common causes we see and it’s free for us to check. Look at the wall during heavy rain and you can often spot it yourself.
Once a year, and twice if there are trees near the house. It’s the cheapest maintenance on the building and it prevents the most expensive problems.
Usually, yes, particularly on lower ground. Discharging onto the surface next to the wall keeps the ground there permanently saturated.
