Repair suits a local fault in a sound system. Replacement suits gutters that crack, sag or leak in several places, because patching them again and again costs more over time. Our comparison of gutter repair versus replacement helps you decide.

Neglect shortens the life of any system. Gutters that stay blocked for years carry extra weight and overflow onto the fascia. As a result, they fail early. Our article on what happens if you don't clean your gutters shows the chain of damage.

uPVC is the most common choice and typically the cheapest per metre. Cast iron costs far more and suits period homes, although it needs regular care. Aluminium typically costs more than uPVC in national price guides. Our guide to uPVC versus cast iron guttering compares them in detail.

Listed homes need extra care. Historic England says changing rainwater goods, for example swapping cast iron for plastic, may need listed building consent. Check with the local council before you replace anything on a listed building.

These are typical UK ranges from national price guides, not a promise of our own price. Replacing all the guttering on a typical house in uPVC usually costs somewhere around £1,000 to £1,600. Cast iron varies widely, while ornate period profiles cost more.
