Why Gutter Replacement is Sometimes Needed
A home’s guttering is one of the aspects that tends to be ignored the most – until such time as structural damages occur as a result of water that accumulated in blocked guttering and downpipes. Leaking gutters are in fact one of the most common causes of isolated dampness in homes these days.
Not only does the dampness look unsightly on your home’s exterior walls; if it penetrates to the inside of your home, it will stain ceilings, walls and cabinets, while also causing black mould to form. This mould not only causes serious structural damage – it can affect your family’s health.
To ensure that your home’s guttering remains free flowing and non-leaking, it’s strongly recommended that you have it inspected by a professional once a year.
Scope of Work Required when Replacing Guttering
Replacing a home’s gutters will usually involve the following:
- Setting up access equipment to the required height
- Removing existing gutters, downpipes and support brackets
- Supply and mount new downpipes and ensure that they’re appropriately connected into existing drains at ground level
- Perform water testing to ensure guttering has been installed at the correct angle and flows freely into downpipes
- Remove access equipment and waste material from site
- Provide a written guarantee to client
Various Types of Gutters Available
If you have decided to replace your home’s existing gutters or you are building a new property and haven’t decided what type of gutters to use, you’ll be pleased to know that there are various types of gutters available. Some of the more popular options include PVC, aluminium, copper and galvanised steel, with a few of them being made available as seamless gutters as well. When choosing gutters, it’s important to take the style of your home into account, as this will ensure that they complement its appearance as much as possible after being installed.
Seamed vs. Seamless Gutters
Many gutters are available in traditional seamed and seamless styles. The main difference between these has to do with the way they are put together. A traditional seamed or “sectional” gutter often snaps together in several sections, which makes it easier to install. A seamless gutter, on the other hand, only sections off at the corners and downspouts. This means there are fewer seams to leak, and your gutters will require far less maintenance over the years. They require special equipment, though, which makes them more expensive in terms of both materials and installation.
Gutter Sizes
Gutters come in different sizes; this allows them to capture and move different amounts of run-off. In the UK, average rainfall can be significant, so it’s always best to choose a new system that can handle and move significant amounts of rain. Your contractor can provide you with more information about the options that are available, and because these companies have years of experience, they can also provide you with valuable advice.
Drumchork Gutter Installation Costs
Average prices can vary depending on a number of factors including the type of gutters that are chosen, the size and height of the home or building and regional labour, material and transportation costs.

New Builds vs. Existing Homes
Contractors will have an easier time installing a gutter on a new build than on an existing home. This is because there are no previous hangers or tacks to deal with, and the contractor can simply hang the new system according to manufacturer’s recommendations and building codes. When your contractor installs a new gutter on an existing home, the company may need to remove your existing system and make repairs to the fascia where the hangars were before proceeding to install the new gutters. You can get quotes from multiple contractors to help you find the right company for your needs.
Professional Installation is Essential
While it may look quick and easy to install gutters on your home, this is not the case. To ensure that they operate efficiently and drain water away from your roof, they need to be installed at the correct angle. All of the Drumchork contractors on the network we access are extensively experienced when it comes to installing new or replacement guttering and they will be able to provide you with advice regarding which type will be most suitable for your home.
Your Drumchork gutter installation questions answered
Installation costs will vary depending on the amount of gutter that needs to be installed, as well as the type of material being used. Professional installation will generally run from £600-£1,500, and do-it-yourself installations can cost around £400-£1,000.
This will depend on the size of your home, the material of your roof, the degree of pitch, and how easy it is to access the sides of your home. Gutters on smaller houses can be installed in as little as 4 hours, where larger or multi-storey houses or those that are surrounded by trees or brush can take a day or two.
To ensure you have the right size gutters and that they are properly secured to your fascia. A professional will also guarantee the work, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your roof is protected.
Absolutely not. There are numerous dimensions available when it comes to gutters, as this ensures that properties with different sized roofs are accommodated for. In addition, gutters are available in various shapes, including round, half round, k-shape and square.
If you live in a location where leaves, twigs, and other debris are a common issue, it may be worth your while to consider installing gutter guards that will keep debris out while allowing water to flow through. Some of these guards can also prevent ice dams, which can cause thousands of dollars in damage.
Rain chains have been used in Asian countries for centuries as a means of routing water away from homes and their foundations. They offer interesting visual appeal, and in many cases, they can function just as well as a traditional downspout. Keep in mind that rain chains cannot move the same amount of water as a downspout, and in significant winds, water may not travel the length of the chain. This could create issues for homeowners, so it’s important to consider the benefits and downfalls carefully.
Absolutely. If part of your gutter system has been damaged by debris or a storm, it’s possible to replace only that section. The only drawback to this is finding the exact material, size, and colour – especially if the gutter is older.
The best way to learn about the most suitable guttering for your home will be to speak with a qualified roofing contractor.
