Gutters are not the most exciting feature of home ownership, we get it. They are the unsung heroes of your house. They redirect rainwater and keep your walls, foundation and landscaping free from damage.
Neglecting gutters can look like surprise waterfalls, mould growth and even structural issues. If you have rusted gutters, or sagging, leaking and plain worn out gutters, it is probably time to consider a replacement. But how much does it cost?
As Perth's trusted gutter installers, we break down the key factors that decide what you will pay to replace your home's gutters. We also explain the cost versus value of gutter replacement, and why our team can deliver a high-quality gutter replacement at an affordable price.
When you replace old gutters with a brand new gutter system, cost is usually the first concern. Unfortunately there is no fixed answer to the how much question. It is a bit of a how long is a piece of string scenario. Several factors decide what your specific job is likely to cost.
The guttering material you choose has a significant impact on the cost of the job.
The layout of your home has a direct impact on cost. A single-storey house with a simple layout is generally cheaper to service. Access is easy, and it needs less material, less equipment and less time on site.
A multi-storey house, or one with a steep roof, tight corners or unique architectural features, increases labour, adds the need for specialised equipment, and raises the price per lineal metre.
The all-up cost also depends on whether you are replacing just the gutters, or whether there is a need for extras such as fascia repairs, downpipe installation or gutter guards. These extras add upfront cost, and they play a big part in the long-term function of the new system. They improve water drainage and help prevent blockages from leaves and debris.
Hiring reputable, experienced professionals means the system gets installed properly, which is what makes it last. Professional installers secure gutters correctly and follow the safety measures the job calls for, like stabilised ladders and harnesses on multi-storey homes.
Cutting corners on labour might save money now, but it can leave you with gutters that sag, leak or need frequent repairs, which costs more in the long run.
The overall cost to replace gutters can seem high upfront. It is a small price next to the financial black hole of fixing foundation damage or internal leaks caused by failing gutters. Besides keeping the rain out, new gutters that work properly protect the house and lift its curb appeal.
Made from durable materials, gutters are efficient and long-lasting, and they can save you money over time. If your roof needs attention at the same time, it is usually cheaper to handle both together, and our roof restoration cost guide sets out those numbers.
