Guttering Services in Edinburgh

Gutter replacement costs in Edinburgh typically range from £400–£800 for a standard semi-detached property, depending on the length of guttering, material choice (uPVC, aluminium or cast iron), and access requirements. Edinburgh tenements with shared guttering may have different cost structures. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after inspecting your property so you know the exact cost upfront.

We recommend having your gutters cleaned at least twice a year in Edinburgh — ideally in late autumn after leaf fall and again in spring. Properties near mature trees, particularly in areas like Colinton, Barnton, Morningside and the Grange, may need more frequent cleaning. Edinburgh's heavy rainfall means blocked gutters quickly lead to water overflow, which can cause damp walls, foundation damage and staining on sandstone facades.

The best guttering depends on your property type. For Edinburgh's period properties — the sandstone tenements of Marchmont, Victorian villas of Murrayfield, or Georgian townhouses of the New Town — cast iron guttering maintains the traditional appearance and is often required in conservation areas. For modern builds and extensions, uPVC offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance option. Aluminium guttering is an excellent middle ground, offering durability and a clean look for any Edinburgh property.

Yes, we install Velux roof windows across Edinburgh. They're popular for loft conversions in the city's tenements and period properties, bringing natural light into upper-floor rooms. We handle everything from choosing the right size and style to cutting into the existing roof structure, ensuring proper waterproofing and flashing. Planning permission is usually not required for rear-facing Velux installations, though Edinburgh conservation areas may have specific requirements.
