FAQs
How do I know my gutters in Guild need to be replaced rather than repaired?
Persistent leaks at the joints, sagging sections, visible rust or corrosion, peeling paint on your fascia boards, and water pooling around the foundation are strong indicators that your gutters have reached the end of their service life. If more than 25 % of the system shows these issues, replacement is usually more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs.
What gutter materials do you offer and which is best for my home?
For homes in Guild we install Colorbond steel, pre-painted aluminium, and uPVC (vinyl) systems. Colorbond offers superior strength and colour retention, aluminium is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, and uPVC is budget-friendly with minimal maintenance. We assess roof pitch, surrounding foliage, and your aesthetic goals during our site visit to recommend the most suitable option.
Will you need scaffold or can you replace gutters with ladders only?
Safety laws in the UK require a stable working platform above 2 metres. For single-storey properties we often use mobile access towers; for two-storey and higher, fixed scaffolding is generally mandatory. Our quotation always includes all access equipment so there are no hidden extras.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take?
Most semi-detached or terraced homes in Guild can be fully stripped, realigned, and fitted with new gutters and downpipes in one working day. Larger detached properties may take two to three days, especially if fascia or soffit boards also need renewing. We provide a clear schedule before work starts.
What is the average cost of a gutter replacement in Guild?
Prices vary with property size, chosen material, and access requirements, but as a guide: uPVC replacements start from £30–£35 per linear metre, aluminium from £40–£50, and Colorbond steel from £55–£65. A typical three-bed semi totals £1,200–£1,600 including labour, waste removal, and VAT. A no-obligation fixed quote is supplied after a free survey.
Do new gutters require ongoing maintenance?
Yes, but far less than older systems. We recommend an annual inspection each autumn to remove leaves, check for blockages, and ensure brackets stay tight. All our installations include optional leaf-guard inserts and a 10-year workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind and protecting your roof and foundations for the long term.
