Timing
How Long Does Gutter Replacement Take?
Replacing the gutters and downpipes takes about a day on most houses. Scaffolding, cast iron, rotten fascia behind the gutter or a large detached house add a day or two.
Free, no obligation. One local company prices it, not five.

The day
One day, roughly like this
- Ladders or a tower set up.
- Old gutters and downpipes taken down.
- Fascia checked; any soft spots repaired.
- New brackets set out to fall to the outlets.
- New gutters clipped in, downpipes fitted.
- A hose test, the old gutters taken away.
What adds time
Four things that add days
- Scaffolding, up before and down after.
- Cast iron: heavy, and restoration takes longer than fitting new.
- Rotten fascia, repaired before the gutter goes back.
- Weather: wind and heavy rain stop work at height.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Do I need to be home?
Not for the whole day. They need access round the house, and someone to agree any extra work.
Can gutters be replaced in winter?
Yes, between showers. Wind stops work at height, so a winter job can run longer.
How long do new gutters last?
uPVC commonly 20 years or more; aluminium and well-kept cast iron much longer.
