FAQs
How long does a typical gutter replacement take in Bristol?
Most residential gutter replacement projects in Bristol are completed within 1–2 days. The first day is usually devoted to safely removing the old system and inspecting the fascia boards, while the second day focuses on installing the new gutters, downpipes and any leaf-guard accessories. Larger or more complex properties may take an additional day, but our ‘fuss-free’ process is designed to minimise disruption and keep the work schedule clear and concise.
Will I need planning permission or Building Control approval for new gutters or a roof replacement?
In most Bristol homes, replacing gutters or re-roofing like-for-like does not require formal planning permission because it is considered ‘permitted development.’ However, if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you are altering the roofline significantly (for example, adding a dormer), you may need consent. Building Regulations typically apply to a complete roof replacement to ensure insulation and structural standards are met. We handle all necessary notifications and paperwork to keep the process hassle-free.
What types of gutter materials do you offer and which is best for Bristol’s climate?
We supply and fit uPVC, aluminium, and seamless steel gutters. uPVC is cost-effective, corrosion-resistant and available in a range of colours—ideal for most homeowners. Powder-coated aluminium offers greater durability, a sleek appearance and is fully recyclable. Seamless steel is the strongest option, suited to larger roofs or commercial settings. All three cope well with Bristol’s mix of rainfall and coastal air; the ‘best’ choice depends on your budget, aesthetic and maintenance preferences, which we discuss during the survey.
How much will a gutter replacement or re-roof cost?
Costs vary according to property size, access requirements, chosen materials and any remedial timber work. As a guide, replacing gutters on a typical three-bed Bristol semi-detached starts at £950–£1,400 for uPVC and £1,600–£2,200 for aluminium. A complete roof replacement ranges from £4,500 for small terraces to £12,000+ for larger detached houses. We provide a fixed-price written quotation after a free on-site inspection, so there are no hidden extras.
Will the work create a mess or disturb my neighbours?
We pride ourselves on a neat, fuss-free approach: protective sheeting safeguards landscaping and patios; old materials are removed daily; and our installers use low-noise cutting tools where possible. We schedule deliveries to avoid peak traffic and always inform neighbours of the start date. On completion, the site is swept, gutters are water-tested, and every bit of waste is recycled or disposed of responsibly.
What warranties and after-care do you provide?
All gutter and roofing replacements come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee. Material warranties vary—20 years for uPVC, 30 years for powder-coated aluminium, and up to 40 years for certain steel or slate roofing products. You’ll receive a certificate outlining cover and maintenance tips. We also offer an optional annual inspection plan to clear debris, check fixings and prolong the life of your new installation.
