If your guttering is leaking, sagging or overflowing you might be wondering how much it’s going to cost to fix or replace. In this guide we’ll break down average guttering costs in the UK, what affects the price and whether you need a repair or a full replacement.Average Guttering Costs in the UKHere are some typical costs for common guttering jobs in the UK:Gutter cleaning — £50 to £150 depending on the size of the property. Minor gutter repair — £50 to £150 for fixing a leaking joint or loose bracket. Full gutter replacement on a semi-detached house — £300 to £600 including materials and labour. Full gutter replacement on a detached house — £500 to £1,000 including materials and labour. Fascia and soffit replacement alongside guttering — £1,000 to £3,000 depending on the size of the property.These are average figures — the actual cost for your property will depend on several factors which we’ll cover below.What Affects the Cost of Guttering?Several things affect how much guttering costs including the size of your property, the type of guttering material chosen, whether the fascias and soffits need replacing at the same time, the accessibility of the guttering, and whether it’s a repair or a full replacement.Types of Guttering and CostsThere are several types of guttering available in the UK at different price points. uPVC guttering is the most popular and cost effective option — it’s durable, low maintenance and available in a range of colours. Cast iron guttering is more expensive but looks beautiful on period properties. Aluminium guttering is a premium option that is lightweight and very durable. Ogee guttering is a decorative style popular on older and period properties.Should I Repair or Replace My Guttering?This is one of the most common questions we get asked. In many cases a repair is all that’s needed — a leaking joint can often be resealed for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. However if your guttering is old, brittle or has multiple problems it may be more cost effective to replace it all in one go rather than keep patching it up.We always give honest advice on whether a repair or replacement is the most cost effective solution for your situation.Signs Your Guttering Needs AttentionThere are several signs that your guttering needs attention. These include water overflowing during rain, sagging or pulling away from the roofline, visible cracks or splits, damp patches appearing on external walls, paint peeling around the roofline, and moss or plant growth in the gutters.If you notice any of these signs it’s worth getting it checked before the problem gets worse and causes damage to your property.What Happens if I Ignore Damaged Guttering?Ignoring damaged guttering can lead to serious problems including damp and water damage to external walls, damage to foundations, rotting fascias and soffits, and water getting into the roof space. What starts as a minor guttering issue can quickly become a much more expensive repair if left untreated.Get a Free Guttering Quote from Cole RoofingCole Roofing provides professional guttering, fascias and soffits services across Pershore, Evesham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Oxford and surrounding areas.
