- Rust holes along runs, not just at one joint.
- PVC that is faded, brittle or cracks around brackets.
- Leaks that return after resealing.
- Sagging that keeps coming back.
- Overflow in heavy rain even when the gutters are clean.
If only one area is affected, gutter repairs may be enough.
Scope of a Replacement
- Removal. Old gutters, brackets and downpipes come down.
- Inspection. Fascia, rafter ends and fixing points are checked once exposed.
- Repairs. Rotten fascia is replaced or clad. See fascia boards.
- New system. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are fitted with correct falls.
- Clean-up. Old material is removed from site.
Fascia and Fixing Points
Years of leaks often rot the fascia behind a gutter. You only see the full extent once the gutter is off. Good quotes say how fascia repairs will be priced if they are needed, for example per metre.
Upgrade Options
- Material. Many homes move from steel or PVC to aluminium or Chromadek.
- Seamless runs. Fewer joints than the old sectional system. See seamless gutters.
- Size. A larger profile or extra outlets if the old system overflowed.
- Downpipes. Extra or relocated downpipes, or a link to a rainwater tank.
- Gutter guards. Where trees drop a lot of leaves.
Disposal
Ask whether removal and disposal of old gutters are included. Metal gutters are often taken for scrap; PVC is usually taken away as waste.

Sources disagree, and most installed rates come from Gauteng guides, so quotes in your area can differ. Unless a row says so, the sources do not state whether VAT is included, so confirm VAT on every quote. Photos or a site visit and a written quote set the actual price.

Get Gutter Replacement QuotesFrequently Asked Questions
Is removal of the old gutters included?
Not always. Some quotes include removal and disposal, others add a per-metre charge. Ask so you compare like with like.
Do I need to replace the fascia at the same time?
Only if it is damaged. It is easiest to check once the old gutter is off, so ask how fascia repairs will be priced if needed.
Can I keep my old downpipes?
Sometimes, if they are sound and match the new outlets. Most replacements include new downpipes so the system matches and seals properly.
How long does replacement take?
A typical single-storey house is often done in one to two days, longer if fascia work is needed.
Should I switch from PVC to aluminium?
Aluminium seamless gutters have fewer joints and do not go brittle in the sun. PVC is cheaper in materials. Get both priced and compare.
