Gutter Installation in Ireland
New gutters cost €25 to €65 a metre in uPVC, fitted, and €600 to €1,900 for a whole semi with downpipes. On a new extension or garage, the gutter goes up once the fascia is on and before the downpipe is connected to the drain.
Free, no obligation. One local company prices it, not five.

What's fitted
A new gutter run, step by step
- Brackets screwed to the fascia, set out so the gutter falls towards the outlet.
- Gutter lengths clipped in, joined with unions.
- Stop ends at the ends of the run, an outlet over each downpipe.
- Downpipes clipped to the wall, a shoe at the bottom or a connection into the gully.
- A water test with a hose before they leave.
Extensions and garages
New build, extension or shed
On an extension the gutter goes up after the fascia and before the downpipe is connected. Make sure it's on the builder's or the gutter company's price, not left between them. A shed or garage gutter is usually a short uPVC run with one downpipe into a water butt or a soakaway.
Getting the fall right
Why water sits in a new gutter
A gutter needs a slight fall towards its outlet, typically about 1 in 600, or 1 cm over 6 m. Set it dead level and water sits in it; set it too steep and it shoots past the outlet in a downpour. Long runs often get an outlet in the middle and fall both ways.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
How much does gutter installation cost?
€25 to €65 a metre for uPVC, fitted. A whole semi with downpipes is €600 to €1,900.
Can gutters be fitted without a fascia?
Not easily. Brackets screw to the fascia; with none, they need rafter brackets fixed under the roof covering, which is a roofer's job.
Do I need planning permission for gutters?
No, not for gutters on an ordinary house. On a protected structure, talk to the council before changing cast iron to uPVC.
