Cost by job
What affects the price
- •The total length of guttering and number of downpipes.
- •Material — uPVC is cheapest; aluminium and cast-iron cost much more.
- •Access and scaffolding on a two-storey or detached house.
- •Whether the fascias and soffits are being replaced at the same time (often more cost-effective together).
- •Any repairs to rafter feet or roof edge found on removal.
Regional price variation
Labour is the biggest regional swing. London and the South East typically run 20–30% above the national average, while the North of England, Scotland and Wales tend to sit 5–15% below it. Material prices are fairly consistent nationwide — it is day rates that move the total. The ranges on this page assume South of England pricing unless stated.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to replace guttering in the UK?
New uPVC guttering costs around £400–£800 for a small semi or terrace and £800–£1,600 for a detached house, or £15–£40 per metre supplied and fitted. Cast-iron or aluminium costs considerably more.
How much to repair guttering?
A gutter repair or re-seal typically costs £80–£250 depending on access and the extent of the problem. If large sections are failing, full replacement is often better value.
Should I replace guttering with the fascias?
Yes — if the fascias and soffits are being replaced, doing the guttering at the same time shares the scaffolding and access cost, making it much cheaper than a separate later job.
