Start with what you can see
Make notes from a safe position. The purpose is to give a roofer a useful starting point, not to diagnose the structure yourself.
- How much of the existing run needs replacing
- Material and profile preferences
- Where downpipes discharge
What a written proposal should cover
Ask providers to explain the work in the same level of detail. A cheaper price can reflect a narrower scope.
- Survey of gutter line, fascia and outlets
- Supply and fitting of gutters and downpipes
- Removal of old material and final flow check
Questions worth asking
- How will the fall and outlet capacity be set?
- Are fascia repairs included?
- Are downpipes and disposal in the price?
Cost and comparison
Length, property height, access, material and fascia condition change the work. Ask for a complete schedule of fittings and downpipes.
