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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gutters that are level or slope the wrong way hold water and grow moss fast. Joins without sealant leak within the first storm. Brackets spaced too far apart let the gutter flex under snow or a ladder, and pull away from the fascia. These faults show up within weeks and should be fixed by the installer at no cost.
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.
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.
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.
