This is a difficult one depending on the height of your house and where you're base at,best to get a few quotes.

The only important thing is that the gutter brackets should be no more than 1m apart...


www.mrplastic.org are very reasonable but I think they are supply only.You could give them a ring and they may help you further...

Thanks for the reply!
I am in Ashford,Kent
My place is a normal 2 storey semi(no guttering on the end )
Even an hourly rate would be useful(anybody)?
Thanks

Can't really answer that one as they are so many trademan's charging difference rates in difference area.

Without seeing it,I could probably do your house in 3/4 of a day then I would need full day pay out of it ! Hourly rate don't come into it,only if you're happy with the price.

Not sure why you want to know the hourly rate for,you can work out the price of guttering parts minus the labour cost of a quote for your hourly rate.

If you give Mr Plastic a ring on 0800 0288055 they maybe able to tell the hourly rate.

True i can work it out,but then i didnt know about that supplier,till you told me about em.
Its just that someone has quoted me a days pay,as being £175 + parts
(which i thought was a bit steep)

The £175 per day will probably involve a Tradesman and a Labourer so it is not all that bad and lets face it , if you could do it yourself then you wouldn't need to pay someone , in the same way that if my car broke down then I would have to pay the mechanics rate because that's what the service costs. I am not having a go at you but what I mean is that a skill or a trade in one thing or another costs good money. If you are in doubt about the price then it is best to get 3 or 4 quotes and then compare. Can you not ask friends or family for a recommendation of a good Tradesman because word of mouth is always the best form of advertising.

I have just been quoted 463 pounds for replacing my cast iron guttering with upvc on a house similar to yours.
