OGEE Gutters South Africa use the OGEE profile: a flat back and a curved, stepped front face. OGEE describes the shape, not the material. Describe your roof once and compare supply-and-install quotes.
- The most common profile on South African houses.
- Made in aluminium, Chromadek and other metals, usually seamless.

Get OGEE Gutter QuotesThe OGEE Profile
The name comes from the ogee moulding, an S-shaped curve used in architecture. From the street, an OGEE gutter looks like a decorative trim along the roof edge rather than a plain channel. The flat back sits neatly against the fascia.
Materials
- Aluminium. The most common OGEE gutter. See aluminium gutters.
- Chromadek. Pre-painted steel, often matched to steel roofs. See Chromadek gutters.
- Most OGEE gutters are roll-formed seamless on-site.
Sizes
- 125 mm. Typical for houses.
- 150 mm. For larger roofs, steep pitches, heavy rain or commercial buildings.
- Size is chosen from the roof area draining into each run and the number of outlets.
Residential and Commercial Use
Homes
OGEE suits most styles, from older homes to new estates. Many estates specify a colour, so check your HOA rules.
Commercial buildings
The 150 mm size is common on shops, offices and complexes. Very large roofs may need box gutters or a custom profile.

Ballpark figures, not quotations. Compiled from price guides and retailer listings published on South African websites (updated between March 2025 and July 2026), checked 15 October 2026 and rounded. Sources disagree, and most installed rates come from Gauteng guides, so quotes in your area can differ. Supply-only rates are from one manufacturer's price list for 3 m to 6 m lengths. 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.
OGEE gutters are quoted for installation and replacement. See gutter prices for the full guide, or Gutters South Africa for all services.
