Ask what material is included and what thickness. Ask if the quote covers brackets, seals, and downpipes, or only the gutter lengths. Ask about the warranty on both materials and labour. Ask who removes the old system. Ask for proof of insurance, and ask for 2 or 3 recent local references you can contact.
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.
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.
Seamless gutters are formed on site from a single coil of metal, so the only joints are at corners and downpipes. Fewer joints mean fewer leaks and a cleaner appearance. Sectional systems use longer lengths joined with rubber seals, which need checking every few years. Ask which system the installer offers and how joints are sealed.
Look for water marks on the outside walls, drips during rain, and green stains on the fascia. Pools of water near the base of the house after a storm mean the downpipe is blocked or undersized. Sagging sections or visible gaps between joins also point to a system that is no longer doing its job and needs attention soon.
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.
A low quote can mean thin materials, weak brackets, few fixings or no waste removal. Ask for a written breakdown showing gutter length, bracket spacing, downpipe size and any scaffolding cost. If details are missing or refused, treat it as a warning. Clear paperwork at the start usually means a cleaner job at the end.
Downpipes should match the gutter size, usually 4 inch or 5 inch round. Each downpipe handles around 50 m² of roof in a moderate climate. They must connect to a sealed drain, not just discharge onto the soil. A simple grated gully at ground level is the bare minimum to stop water pooling near the walls.
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.
A simple replacement on a single-storey home takes 1 day. A two-storey house with awkward access can take 2 to 3 days. Adding new downpipes, fascia repairs, or soffit work extends the time. The tradesperson should give a clear schedule before starting, including any waiting time for parts or scaffolding.
