Factors influencing gutter costs
Other than the total length of guttering that requires repairs or replacement, factors that influence costs include:
Extent of gutter work required
The extent of your gutter damage will significantly influence the cost of gutter repairs. Some minor rust or damage to a small section of guttering could be very cost effective to replace, however extensive gutter damage due to wear and tear or storm damage, may require entire sections to be replaced, or even a full gutter replacement. This obviously increases the cost of guttering work.
Gutter accessibility
The cost of guttering work is also impacted by how accessible your gutters are. Standard height home in Queensland up to two storeys enables gutters to be replaced using A Frame Trestles and Planks spanning between the trestles. If you live in some West End or Paddington areas where at times the dividing fence between properties is close to your home an A Frame Trestles may not fit. To install an A Frame Trestle we typically require 850mm to 1,1000mm for the A Frame Trestle base to fit. If this cannot be installed Scaffolding may be required to be erected, and can cost from $2,500 to $20,000 for scaffold to be installed for the team to access the gutter to work safely at heights, which increases costs.
Less accessible gutters and properties can also make it challenging and time consuming to transport materials to site, and up and down the ground to the gutter line, again increasing labour costs.
When is it better to replace rather than repair gutters?
