A good installation should include separate warranties for materials and labour. Material warranties on uPVC often reach 10 years, while aluminium may reach 20 years or more. Labour warranties of 2 to 5 years are common. Get the warranty terms in writing and check what is excluded, including storm damage or lack of maintenance.
Gutters must slope gently toward the downpipe, usually between 3 mm and 6 mm per metre. Too little slope causes standing water, debris build-up and overflow during storms. Too much slope looks wrong and can leave sections of gutter dry. A trained installer checks fall with a spirit level and adjusts brackets accordingly to keep water moving.
A correct job starts with a slight fall toward the downpipe, around 10 mm every 3 metres. Brackets should sit no more than 600 mm apart. Each join needs a rubber seal or sealant, and the downpipe must end at a soakaway or storm drain, not over a path. Corners need brackets close by to stop sagging later.
Modern uPVC and aluminium gutters come in white, black, grey, brown and several heritage shades. Colour choice affects the look of the roofline more than people expect. Ask to see samples on the actual wall before deciding. Some suppliers offer bespoke colours at extra cost and a longer lead time of 2 to 4 weeks.
Half-round gutters suit most homes and carry water well in regions with average rainfall. Box gutters hold more water and are common on larger roofs or older buildings. Ogee and square-line profiles give a decorative finish. The right profile depends on roof size, pitch and local rainfall intensity. A professional can measure roof area and recommend the correct style.
Standard residential gutters come in 4 inch, 5 inch, or 6 inch profiles. A 5 inch half-round gutter handles most tiled roofs. Larger roofs, metal sheeting, or steep pitches push water faster and may need 6 inch gutters or extra downpipes. Undersized gutters overflow even when clean, which is a sizing issue, not a maintenance issue.
Gutter fitting is weather-dependent. Strong wind, heavy rain or freezing temperatures delay the job and affect sealant curing. Most installers prefer dry, calm conditions. Ask how the company handles a forecast change and whether the price changes if the job is rescheduled. A clear plan avoids wasted days and rushed work.
Clear leaves twice a year, in late autumn and after the first big spring storm. Rinse with a hose to check the flow and spot any leaks at the joins. Trim back nearby branches that drop debris. A 10 minute check from a ladder once or twice a year extends the life of any gutter system by many years.
If the gutter is sound but full of leaves, a clean may be enough. Cleaning takes 1 to 2 hours for an average house. Replacement is better when there are cracks, rust holes, or sections pulling away from the fascia. A professional can tell the difference in a short visit and quote both options on the spot.
Replacing gutters means working two storeys up in many homes. Professional installers use stable ladders, harness points and stable platforms where needed. Avoid hiring anyone who turns up without proper equipment or edge protection. A clear safety setup protects both the worker and your property during the job.
