Complete guttering, downpipe, fascia and soffit installation across Edinburgh and the Lothians since 2012. Own access equipment, no scaffold hire on most properties. Free site survey and written quote.
Most Edinburgh gutter quotes include scaffold hire on top. Ours don't. On most two-storey properties we complete full installations using our own access platforms and specialist ladder systems, so there's no third-party hire cost passed on to you. We've been working on Edinburgh rooflines since 2012, across Victorian tenements, Georgian terraces, 1960s semis and modern new-builds.
We install uPVC, aluminium and cast iron systems, alongside fascias, soffits, downpipes and flat-roof rainwater outlets. Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are all handled by one crew on one visit, replacing gutters without addressing failing timber behind them only leads to callbacks.

Most Edinburgh gutter contractors subcontract scaffold for any work above single-storey height, and that cost lands on your quote. We own tower scaffolding, mobile platforms and specialist ladder systems outright, so on most two-storey properties we don't need scaffold at all. The result: lower quotes, faster mobilisation, and a typical semi-detached gutter replacement done in a day.
For taller or more complex properties where independent scaffold is genuinely required, we'll flag that at survey stage so there are no surprises.
We install all major guttering materials across Edinburgh and the Lothians. We'll recommend the right system for your property, profile preference and any conservation-area requirements at survey stage.
| Material | Lifespan | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| uPVC | 20–30 years | Most Edinburgh residential | Lightweight, low maintenance. Half-round and square profiles. Wide colour range. |
| Aluminium | 30–50 years | Period properties, premium finish | Stronger than uPVC, spans wider. Powder-coated RAL finishes available. |
| Cast iron | 50+ years | Listed buildings, conservation areas | Heaviest option. Heritage choice for Georgian and Victorian properties. |
| Deep-flow uPVC | 20–30 years | Large or steeply pitched roofs | Carries greater water volume than standard half-round. |
| Box gutter | Varies by system | Flat roofs, internal outlets | Used for Edinburgh's flat-roofed properties and extensions. |
Every gutter installation follows the same process. Edinburgh's wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw cycles punish badly installed systems, so detailing and fall angles matter as much as the material itself.
We visit your property, assess the existing system, measure the linear meterage, note fall requirements and identify any underlying fascia or soffit damage.
Clear, itemised price covering all materials, labour and access equipment. No vague estimates, no day-rate surprises.
Because we own our access equipment, we set up our platforms without waiting on a scaffold contractor.
Existing guttering, brackets and downpipes removed carefully and disposed of responsibly. Fascia boards inspected at this stage.
New gutter runs fixed to the correct fall angle (typically between 1:350 and 1:600 depending on system and manufacturer guidance), outlets and brackets secured, downpipes aligned to the drain or soakaway.
Every installation tested with running water before we leave. You receive a job completion record.
Gutter installation costs vary by property size, access requirements, profile and material choice. uPVC is the most cost-effective, aluminium sits in the mid-range, cast iron is the most expensive due to weight and fixing complexity. Secondary cost factors include fascia and soffit condition and whether a flat-roof box gutter is required.
This is what happens between your call and your written quote.
We attend, measure the linear meterage, check fall requirements, inspect fascias behind the gutters.
Itemised line by line: materials, labour, access, waste disposal, VAT. No surprises at invoice stage.
We use our own access platforms on most two-storey properties. If your job needs independent scaffold, we'll flag it at survey stage.
No pressure, no chase calls. Take your time, compare with other quotes.
Edinburgh's mix of Victorian tenements, Georgian terraces, 1960s semis and modern new-builds means we work across all roofline profiles and gutter types daily. Our local knowledge of Edinburgh's conservation area planning requirements informs every material recommendation, particularly important for New Town, Stockbridge, Morningside and Dean Village properties where cast iron or heritage-sympathetic materials may be required.
We cover all Edinburgh postcodes and the surrounding Lothians, and never add travel surcharges within our standard coverage zone. If your property is in a conservation area, we advise on whether planning consent is likely needed for a material change at survey stage.
