What kind of tradesman do I need?

My conservatory is leaking.
On the back of the house, we have a kitchen extension and a conservatory. There is a box gutter between the two and I think the problem is here somewhere. The trouble is we can't see where the damage is because of the position of the gutter. Do I need a conservatory specialist, a builder, a roofer, a gutter person??? Help!!!

Could be the gutter is just blocked and causing it to leak ? Can you get up there and have a look first ?
Box gutters do tend to block sometimes.

I'd start with a gutter clean - we had a flood through our back door earlier in the autumn (really quite extreme!) and it was fixed with one £30 gutter clean - when I'd been worried we'd need to replace the back door and door frame!

If the gutter cleaner doesn't see the issue, ours was offering to take photos from up his ladder of anything suspect so that we could refer to a roofing specialist - so that's a potential back-up plan?

Best of luck!

When’s the last time the gutters were cleaned?
