What Happens on the Day
A crew of two replaces the gutters and downpipes on most Dublin semis and terraces in a day: the old run comes down, the fascia is checked, new brackets go on at the right fall, the new gutters and downpipes go up, and everything is water-tested before they leave. The old gutters go with them.
Before, during and after.
Free, no obligation. One local company prices it, not five.

Before the day
- A look or photos, then a written price.
- Choose the colour and the profile.
- Move cars off the drive and anything from under the eaves.
- Tell the neighbour if the gutter is shared.
On the day
- Ladders and a tower go up; scaffolding was up the day before if needed.
- The old gutters and downpipes come down.
- The fascia is checked. Soft timber is shown to you and priced before it's fixed.
- New brackets go on, set to fall to the outlets.
- The new gutters clip in, then the downpipes, connected at the bottom.
- A water test with a hose along every run.
- The old gutters are taken away and the ground cleared.
After
Ask for the guarantee in writing, and a photo of anything they found. Clear the gutters every year or two, more if there are trees: gutter cleaning in Dublin is on our sister site.
