FAQs
Why should I choose aluminium gutters for my Bristol property instead of uPVC or steel?
Aluminium gutters combine lightweight strength with excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for Bristol’s wet maritime climate. Unlike uPVC, aluminium will not become brittle or fade as quickly under UV exposure, and it withstands temperature fluctuations without cracking. Compared with steel, aluminium is naturally rust-proof, so it offers a longer service life with minimal maintenance. Additionally, aluminium is fully recyclable and can be powder-coated in almost any colour to match your roofline aesthetics.
How long do aluminium gutter replacements typically last?
Professionally installed aluminium gutters have a life expectancy of 30–40 years, thanks to their rust-resistant properties and durable powder-coat finish. Routine cleaning of leaves and debris, along with an annual visual inspection, will help realise the full lifespan. In many cases, the guttering will outlast several roof covering cycles.
What is the typical cost of replacing gutters with aluminium in Bristol?
Pricing varies with property size, access requirements and chosen profile, but as a guide, most semi-detached homes in Bristol spend £1,200–£1,800 for a complete aluminium gutter and downpipe system, including removal of old uPVC or steel gutters. Detached properties usually range from £2,000–£3,000. We provide a free, no-obligation survey and written quotation so you know exact costs before work starts.
How long does the installation process take, and will I need to be home?
A standard gutter replacement on a typical two-storey house is completed within one day. Larger or more complex roofs may require two days. You do not need to be home for the entire installation, but we do ask that someone is available at the start for access and at the end for a hand-over inspection. All waste material is removed from site the same day, leaving your property tidy.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on aluminium gutter replacements?
Yes. Our aluminium gutters carry a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty against material defects and corrosion, plus a 10-year workmanship guarantee on installation. The powder-coat finish is covered for 15 years against peeling, cracking and colour fade. These warranties are fully transferable to new homeowners, adding value to your property.
What maintenance do aluminium gutters require after installation?
Maintenance is straightforward: clear leaves and debris twice a year (typically in spring and autumn) and check that downpipes are free-flowing. After severe storms, visually inspect joints and brackets for any movement. Because aluminium does not rust, there is no need for painting if a powder-coated finish is chosen. Should accidental damage occur, individual sections can be replaced without dismantling the entire system.
