I've just received a quote for the guttering around the front of my 4 bed detached house replacing by the people who are about to replace my windows.

It's £2800 which feels punchy, is that anywhere near reasonable? They're a reputable company and very reasonable for the windows, neither the cheapest or most expensive.
 
You can replace guttering in a day, off a ladder.

Depending on the size of you house.

Half round guttering is roughly £9.00 for 4M

Down pipe roughly the same.

Then its peanuts for brackets and outlets!
 
when you say guttering do you mean the u shape plastics and brackets?

or are you including fascia's etc? the former is more simple compared to the latter

I guess it depends on the size of your house.
I have fairly recently done the lower parts of my place - and it's relatively cheap and straightforward to do. I don't fancy going up a ladder to the 1st floor / roof ones but the materials are dead cheap so yes I think the quote sounds ridiculous. Unless they are scaffolding to do the job.

No just the plastic, not the fascias..

Thanks all.. I thought it sounded nuts.

Weird that they've been so reasonable on the windows.. maybe they just don't want to do it.
 
I had a similar quote on my roughly 10mx10m house as well last year, although I can't remember exactly what the meterage of guttering was. I was expecting a 3 figure quote, certainly not well in to 4, so politely declined and deleted their number. I guess they can charge what they like because south east labour rates + working at height = £££.

In the end I kept my original gutters but replaced the rubber seals as that was the only real issue with it. And gave it a clean while I was up there. If you can stand heights it's not difficult at all.

I had a similar quote, it was the scaffolding that pushed the price so high I suspect. It’s looking to be better value to do the fascia’s etc as well at the same time in my case.
 
Nuts for just the guttering. I paid that for fascias and guttering a year ago (7m x 7m semi-detached, so 3 sides)
