WE SPECIALISE IN REPLACEMENT DOWNPIPES AND GUTTERS
Depending on the location of an Adelaide home most gutter and downpipe systems on an average roof tend to last around 30 – 40 years before showing signs that a gutter replacement might on the cards. Some obvious signs may be rust starting to appear on the surface of the gutter, both inside and out or leaks at gutter joins. Home owners may start to notice water jumping off the edge of the roof rather than being caught by the gutter or water seeming to overflow during heavy rain events. Many gutter systems on older Adelaide homes are just under equipt to deal with the random significant rain events Adelaide receives several times per year. Many gutter systems not having enough downpipes and incorrectly sized downpipes to cope with heavy rain events. We make sure you get value from your Adelaide gutter replacement and that your home is ready for the next weather event with correctly sized replacement gutters and downpipes.
COST OF GUTTER REPLACEMENT IN ADELAIDE
Every Adelaide house is different to the next. The size of the roof and design of the gutter and downpipe system can vary and therefore its always hard to put a simple price per metre to gutter replacement job. In most of our more simple, run of the mill type gutter replacements on a single storey home with good access the cost is usually under $100 per linear metre + GST. This is a turn key job and includes gutters, pvc unpainted downpipes on stainless steel downpipe brackets. It also covers all rubbish removal including original gutters.
BENEFITS OF GUTTER AND DOWNPIPE REPLACEMENT
Replacing your old gutters and downpipes ensures you have another 30 – 40 years of perfectly functioning roof drainage system. With the increased chances of freak storms in the Adelaide region over recent years its also a good Idea when replacing gutters to fit a gutter of adequate or increased water flow capacity. We also recommend the installation of 90mm PVC round downpipes as opposed to the small and metal original downpipes.

Having correctly sized and well operating gutters and downpipes is essential regardless of the area. Often the bushfire areas are in the Adelaide hills and these areas tend to get hit with more extreme weather and rain events. We can also install premium bushfire Ember rated gutter mesh to your new gutters in the hills areas or anywhere with a leaf or tree problem.
Again this is always a difficult question to answer as it depends on several factors. A reasonably straight forward gutter and downpipe replacement to a single storey home with 70 – 80 metres of gutters will generally take 4 – 5 days to complete.
We try to give good value with our pricing. Our finished work is flawless and we only use quality products. On straight forward gutter replacement jobs with no scaffolding or access problems the cost is usually under $100 per lineal metre. The cost will obviously increase if the complexity of the job increases or if scaffolding for high level access is required.
Yes and no. We recommend any gutter profile to be chosen as long as the new gutter has the same or greater cross sectional area of the original gutter. We never allow downsizing of the gutter as this may cause water flow issues. Generally all the modern profiles are the same as the old but 10mm bigger. The most common and one of the best gutters found around Adelaide is the fascia gutter.
Yes, we actually recommend having additional downpipes installed and ensuring all downpipes are 90mm PVC rather than the old 50mm x 100mm Rectangular steel downpipes installed in the 70s and 80s. We do not work below ground level so a storm water contractor may be required to follow us and connect your new additional downpipes into the site stormwater system
In cases where the original timber fascias don’t look to good or have developed some rot over the years we recommend installing Colourbond Fascia covers. This product essentially clads over the original timber fascias and ensures they never get wet from rain water again. The product is virtually maintenance free and doesn’t trigger heavy destructive work of removing timber fascias and risking asbestos eave linings falling out.
