About Guttering
What a proper installation includes
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.
What guttering does on a house
Guttering catches rain running off the roof and carries it to the downpipe. Without working gutters, water falls next to the foundations and soaks the walls. Over time, this causes damp inside, rotten fascia boards, and erosion around the base. A good system keeps water away from the parts of the house that cost the most to fix.
Working Safely at Height
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Simple upkeep between visits
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.
How long a gutter job takes
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.
