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.
Sunderland — local context
Traditional material: Welsh slate on Victorian terraces, concrete post-war.
Coastal exposure accelerates lead and nail corrosion on seaward-facing elevations; Ashbrooke and Grangetown contain conservation areas with material restrictions.
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.

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.
