What the job involves

A gutter replacement removes the old gutter run, replaces the brackets (usually rotten or loose where the fascia has deteriorated), and installs new guttering and downpipes. PVC is the standard choice for most UK homes; aluminium is premium; cast iron is for period or listed properties.

A typical semi-detached house has 25–35 metres of guttering plus downpipes — a one to two day job.

London — local context

Traditional material: Welsh slate on Georgian and Victorian terraces, clay tile in the outer boroughs.

London has the highest concentration of listed buildings and conservation areas in England, which commonly restrict re-roofs to like-for-like materials; inner boroughs also add parking suspension fees that push scaffold-assisted jobs above the baseline.

What changes the price

  • Linear metres of guttering plus downpipe runs.
  • Material — PVC cheapest, aluminium mid, cast iron premium.
  • Access (ladder vs scaffold).
  • Whether the fascia behind also needs replacing at the same time.

Timeline: Usually 1–2 days for a standard semi.

Common questions

PVC or aluminium?

PVC is fine for 90% of UK homes, lasts 20–30 years, and is cheap to replace. Aluminium is worth paying for on exposed coastal or rural homes where the extra durability earns its keep. Cast iron is appropriate on listed buildings where the planning authority requires it.

Should I replace the fascia at the same time?

If the fascia is timber and showing any rot, yes — the brackets have to fix into something solid, and replacing guttering onto a failing fascia is false economy.

What does gutter replacement typically cost in London?

A typical gutter replacement job in London falls in the £18–£55/m² range, with the middle of the market around £31/m². London’s labour and access factor (1.22× the national baseline) means prices run slightly above the UK average. Actual quotes vary with access, materials, and specifics of the job.

Are there any London-specific things that affect price?

London has the highest concentration of listed buildings and conservation areas in England, which commonly restrict re-roofs to like-for-like materials; inner boroughs also add parking suspension fees that push scaffold-assisted jobs above the baseline.
