Gutter replacement & drainage guides
Irish cost guides, uPVC vs seamless aluminium vs cast iron, profile flow rates, downpipes, and repair vs replacement advice.
What to check before you get quotes
Every guide on this site is built around Irish rainfall, housing types, and roof drainage rules. Before comparing gutter quotes, check these essentials:
- Profile & flow capacity: Whether standard 112 mm half-round uPVC is enough or your roof pitch and local rainfall call for square line, ogee, or deep flow gutters.
- Material & joints: Whether you want clip-together uPVC with EPDM union seals, joint-free roll-formed aluminium, or heritage cast iron.
- Written breakdown: Ask for metres of gutter, number of downpipes, bracket spacing, fascia repairs, scaffolding, and 13.5% VAT itemised in writing.

Questions we get asked
How much does gutter replacement cost in Ireland?
New uPVC gutters and downpipes on a semi cost €600 to €1,900, fitted. Seamless aluminium is €1,200 to €3,400 and cast iron €2,100 to €7,500. The price guide has every job.
How long does it take?
A day for most houses. A big detached house, scaffolding, cast iron or rotten fascia behind the gutters adds time. See how long it takes.
Is there a grant for new gutters?
Not for an ordinary house. On a protected structure, the Built Heritage Investment Scheme run through the councils can help with repairs to historic rainwater goods such as cast iron. With SEAI's external wall insulation grant, the gutters and downpipes have to come off and go back anyway, so plan them together.
Will it make a mess?
Very little. The old gutters come down in lengths and leave in the company's van, and the ground is swept at the end of the day. All the work is outside.
