Guttering in Bath

The cost of guttering work in Bath depends on the building and the job. Clearing gutters on a two storey semi is simpler than replacing runs on a tall townhouse on a hillside.

The main things that affect the price are:

• Whether the job is a repair, a replacement or a clean
• The length of the gutter runs
• The height of the house and the access needed
• The number of downpipes
• The type of gutter, such as uPVC or concrete
• The condition of the fascia behind the gutter
• Any old guttering and waste to take away
• The height of Bath's taller period houses and the scaffold needed on hillside streets

Every job is priced after a free survey, and you get a clear, fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Where old gutters are cracked or sagging, we replace them with new uPVC guttering and downpipes, set to the correct fall, and check the fascia behind while it is exposed. On listed buildings and some conservation area properties, uPVC may not be permitted, and we will flag it at survey if we think that applies.

Concrete Finlock gutters were fitted to many postwar homes, and some of Bath's twentieth century estates have them. As the joints age, water can seep into the wall. We assess whether they can be repaired or whether replacement makes more sense, and set out the options in writing.
