sagging gutters

[swest4]

Dear all,

I have a couple of stretches of guttering sagging at corners and overflowing. Basically, they need to be refitted with new brackets to attach them to the facias. One stretch is about 9 foot long and the other about 6 foot. I've been quoted £500 +VAT for this which seems expensive. I don't want to be unfair on the tradesperson but wonder whether this sounds about right.

Thanks

The quote will depend on such things as whether scaffolding, cherry-picker or just ladders are necessary for safe access.
Post a pic or two.

How much are the other two quotes?

Shop around.

OP,
As above, access is the key to the question.
Two workers are typically required to work anywhere at height - think H&S & insurance?
They may do the job in two or three hours but if the job goes even a few minutes into the afternoon then thats the workday accounted for.

Thanks for the input, all. I shopped around and got it done today for £150. Very pleased.
