Guttering Costs in Wales 2026
Guttering and fascia costs in Wales in 2026 depend on the length of run, material, and whether fascia boards and soffits also need replacing.
Typical costs (supply and install, Wales 2026):
| Job | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Gutter repair (section resealing) | £50–150 |
| Gutter replacement (per linear metre) | £20–50 |
| Full house guttering replacement (semi) | £400–900 |
| Full house guttering replacement (detached) | £600–1,400 |
| Fascia replacement (per linear metre) | £20–40 |
| Full fascia and soffit replacement (semi) | £800–2,000 |
| Cast iron gutter repair (section) | £80–250 |
| Cast iron replacement (per metre) | £35–90 |
| Gutter cleaning | £60–150 |
Welsh weather — high rainfall and frequent wet/freeze cycles — makes gutter maintenance particularly important. Blocked or leaking gutters in Wales cause significantly more damage than in drier climates.
uPVC vs Aluminium vs Cast Iron
uPVC: The most common choice for modern Welsh properties. Light, maintenance-free, inexpensive, and available in a wide range of profiles. Lasts 20–30 years. The standard choice for post-1960s housing.
Aluminium: More durable than uPVC, available in any RAL colour, and increasingly popular for contemporary new-builds and extensions. Costs 30–60% more than uPVC but lasts longer and looks better on modern properties.
Cast iron: The original material in Victorian and Edwardian Welsh properties. Heavy, requires painting every 5–10 years, but very durable and correct for heritage properties. Required in many conservation areas and for listed buildings. Cast iron sections are repairable in a way that uPVC is not — cracked sections can be replaced individually.
Important for Welsh heritage properties: In conservation areas and on listed buildings, cast iron or steel guttering is often required — uPVC may not be permitted. Check with your local authority before ordering.
