About Guttering
Sizes and capacity
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.
How Gutter Slope Affects Performance
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.
Signs a Quote Is Too Low
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.
Questions to ask before hiring
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.
Gutter Guards and Leaf Protection
Gutter guards reduce leaf build-up but do not remove the need for occasional cleaning. Brush, foam and mesh inserts each have different costs and results. Mesh guards with small holes perform well in many homes. No guard blocks every piece of debris, so plan an annual check even with protection fitted.
Cleaning versus replacing
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.
Different Gutter Profiles and Where They Fit
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.
Warranty on Materials and Labour
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.
What changes the price
Material, length, height, and access all affect the final cost. Working above a conservatory or near power lines adds time and safety gear. Old gutter removal, fascia replacement, and disposal of waste also add up. A good quote lists each line so it is easy to compare one offer with another on equal terms.
Fascia and Soffit Condition Before Fitting
Before new gutters go on, the fascia board and soffit should be checked for rot, cracks or paint failure. Rotten timber cannot hold brackets safely and often needs replacement first. In older homes, installers sometimes fit a PVC fascia capping over sound timber. A proper survey at this stage avoids fitting new gutters to weak supports.
