Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• inspect gutters and downpipes using a ladder or platform and record blockages and damage

• clear leaves, silt and moss from gutter runs and flush downpipes

• unclip and refit slipped guttering and replace broken brackets and seals

• cut out and replace short lengths of uPVC gutter or reseal leaking joints

• test fall and pitch, make minor adjustments and advise if major realignment is needed

• photograph defects and leave an itemised report and written quote for larger repairs

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most inspections take 1–2 hours; simple repairs (clearing blockages, replacing clips or short gutter lengths) typically take 1–3 hours; larger section replacements or jobs requiring scaffolding can take 0.5–1 day. Weather, roof access and working-at-height restrictions extend time on site

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• are you insured for public liability and for working at height

• how will you access the gutters and will you need scaffolding or a tower

• what guarantee do you provide for repairs and replacement parts

• can you provide photos of defects and a written breakdown of costs

• how do you handle disposal of old guttering and debris

• will any neighbouring property access or permissions be required

How to Avoid Surprises

• make space for a ladder or mobile tower and keep drive/parking clear

• point out fragile roofs, solar panels or rooflights before work starts

• confirm whether scaffolding, permits or estate approval are needed for your address

• agree on materials and lead times beforehand to avoid on-site delays

• keep pets and children away from the work area; tradies will use PPE and may need to contain debris
