How Much Does Guttering Cost? (2026 Prices)
Guttering in Cork, Limerick, Dublin and Galway costs between €180 for a minor slate or tile patch and €8,500 for major structural work involving rafter and purlin replacement in 2026. The most common gutterings we complete across Ireland — flashing failures, slipped slates and ridge tile rebedding — typically fall between €350 and €1,200 inclusive of scaffolding, materials, labour and our 10-year written workmanship guarantee.

Factors That Affect Your Guttering Cost
Several variables influence the final price of any guttering across Ireland. Roof pitch and height affect scaffolding requirements — a three-storey Victorian terrace in Montenotte demands more access equipment than a single-storey bungalow in Ballincollig. Material specification matters too: sourcing reclaimed Bangor Blue slate for period properties costs more than standard concrete tiles, but preserves architectural integrity. The extent of underlying timber damage only becomes clear during the repair itself, which is why our initial survey and quote always include a contingency assessment. Properties in Cork, Limerick, Dublin and Galway experience different weather exposure levels — coastal homes in Cobh or Dún Laoghaire face higher wind-driven rain loads requiring more robust flashing details.

Guttering Services We Provide Across Ireland
Recommended Roofing delivers the full spectrum of guttering solutions across Cork, Limerick, Dublin and Galway. Each repair type requires specific expertise, materials and approach — here’s how we handle the most common roofing needs for homeowners and businesses searching for a roofer near them.
Gutter Cleaning & Moss Removal
Full gutter clean using telescopic vacuum and high-reach equipment — clears leaves, moss, silt and roof debris from gutters and downspouts. Includes a free roof-line inspection with photos so you see exactly what was removed. Recommended once a year, twice if you have overhanging trees.
Gutter Repair & Realignment
Fast sectional fixes for leaking joints, sagging runs, broken brackets, loose downspouts and corroded sections. We re-pitch gutters to correct falls, replace damaged lengths in matching material, and seal joints with the right gasket and bonding system for your gutter type.
Gutter Replacement (uPVC, Aluminium & Cast Iron)
Full replacement in uPVC (black, brown, white or anthracite), seamless aluminium, steel, copper, or traditional cast iron for period properties. We remove the old gutter, fascia and supports, install new brackets at correct falls, and finish with matching downspouts to ground level.
Rain Gutter Installation (New Build)
New-build and extension gutter installation specified to roof area and rainfall load. Seamless aluminium or uPVC half-round / ogee profiles, correctly sized downspouts, hopper heads where required, and full connection to surface-water drainage.
Soffit, Fascia & Gutter Guard Installation
Replacement of rotted timber soffit and fascia in uPVC or aluminium — the boards behind your gutter that finish the roof edge — plus optional gutter guard / leaf-screen installation to keep gutters clear long-term.
Materials We Use for Guttering
Material selection determines how long your roofing work lasts. We don’t use budget materials or unbranded substitutes — every product we install is sourced from leading manufacturers with documented performance data in Irish weather conditions.
Marley Edgemere & Ludlow Plus Tiles — Our primary concrete tile for pitched gutterings. The Edgemere’s interlocking design resists wind uplift to 139km/h, specifically important for exposed coastal properties in Dublin and Galway. 30+ year manufacturer warranty.
Firestone RubberGard EPDM — We are Firestone Approved Installers and use their single-sheet EPDM membrane for all flat roofing restorations. The single-sheet system eliminates seam joints — the number one failure point on flat roofs. Rated for 50+ year service life. We chose Firestone specifically because their membrane performs in Ireland’s high-humidity, continuous-rain environment where cheaper alternatives delaminate within 8–12 years.
Tegral Fibre-Cement Slates — Irish-manufactured slates from Tegral’s Athy plant, offering the aesthetic of natural slate with superior consistency. We use Tegral Thrutone for standard repairs and Tegral Rivendale for heritage-sympathetic work. 30-year guarantee.
Code 4 & Code 5 Milled Lead — All our flashing work uses milled lead sheet to BS EN 12588, not cast lead or lead-effect alternatives. Code 4 (1.80mm) for standard flashing, Code 5 (2.24mm) for chimney back gutters and valley linings where durability is critical. Expected lifespan of 60–100+ years.
Our Guttering Process
We follow a proven five-step methodology on every project, from a single slipped slate in Salthill to a full storm damage remediation in Cork city. Consistency in our process is how we deliver consistent results across 2,800+ completed projects.
Initial Contact & Triage (Day 1)
Call any of our four county phone numbers or submit a request online. Our office team triages every enquiry — genuine emergencies are escalated immediately to our on-call crew for under-4-hour response. Standard roofing enquiries are booked for a free on-site survey within 48 hours across Cork, Limerick, Dublin and Galway.
Free On-Site Survey & Roof Inspection (Day 1–3)
A senior surveyor inspects your roof, documenting every issue with photographs and thermal imaging where damp penetration is suspected. We check not just the visible damage but the underlying structure — sarking felt condition, timber integrity, ventilation adequacy and flashing soundness. You receive a full written report by email.
Detailed Written Quotation (Day 2–4)
Your quote itemises every element: materials with brand names and specifications, scaffolding requirements, labour, contingency allowance for hidden damage, and timeline. We break costs down by repair area so you can prioritise if working to a budget. All quotes are valid for 30 days and include VAT at 13.5%.
Professional Repair Execution (Scheduled Date)
Our CSCS-carded, Safe Pass certified crews arrive on the agreed date with all materials pre-ordered and scaffolding pre-erected. We work methodically from high point to low, ensuring waterproof integrity at every stage. Daily progress updates are sent via WhatsApp with photographs. A supervisor visits each job at least once during execution.
Final Inspection, Cleanup & Guarantee (Completion Day)
Every completed project undergoes a final walkthrough with you present. We photograph the finished work from ground and roof level, remove all scaffolding and debris, and hand over your 10-year written workmanship guarantee certificate. A completion certificate is issued for your records and insurance. We schedule a follow-up inspection at 12 months — free of charge.
Common Guttering Problems We Fix Across Ireland
Cork’s 1,200mm annual rainfall combined with Atlantic gales means roofs across Ireland work harder than almost anywhere in Europe. Here are the three most frequent issues we diagnose and resolve.
Blocked & Overflowing Gutters
Blocked gutters are the leading cause of damp internal walls in Irish homes. Leaves, moss and roof grit fill the channel until water spills behind the fascia and down the wall — often missed until plaster starts blistering inside. We clear, flush-test, photograph the result and recommend gutter-guard installation if blockage is recurring.
Sagging, Leaking & Loose Gutters
Sagging gutters lose their fall and pool water at the lowest point — which then leaks at the joints or overflows in heavy rain. Caused by failed brackets, rotted fascia behind, or expansion-joint failure. We diagnose the root cause, re-bracket, replace damaged lengths and reseal joints to manufacturer spec.
Damaged Soffit, Fascia & Downspout Failures
Timber soffit and fascia behind the gutter rots silently once water gets behind it — you only see it when paint blisters or birds nest in the gap. Downspouts crack or detach at joints and discharge water against the wall. We replace soffit and fascia in uPVC or aluminium and re-route or replace failing downspouts.

We are also Tegral Certified — approved to install and warranty their Irish-manufactured slate range. These aren’t labels we’ve applied ourselves; they’re verifiable accreditations issued by leading material manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Guttering
Most Irish homes need a gutter clean once a year — typically autumn after leaf fall. Properties under overhanging trees or with pine needles nearby usually need two cleans per year (autumn and late spring). Skipping cleaning is the leading cause of damp internal walls.
A standard semi-detached gutter replacement takes 1—2 days. A larger detached or two-storey property takes 2—3 days, especially if soffit and fascia are being replaced at the same time. Gutter cleaning alone is normally completed in 2—4 hours.
Yes — and we recommend it on any gutter replacement where the existing soffit or fascia shows rot, paint blistering or sag. Replacing them separately later means a second scaffolding visit, so the combined job is significantly cheaper than doing it in two phases.
uPVC (black, brown, white, anthracite grey) — the most common modern choice. Seamless aluminium — a single continuous length custom-cut on site, no joints. Steel and copper for premium installations. Cast iron for period and protected structures where the original gutter style must be retained.
Yes — the right gutter guard cuts cleaning frequency by around 70%. Mesh-type guards (aluminium or stainless) work best for the leaf, moss and grit load typical of Irish roofs. We don't recommend plastic-insert guards — they degrade in UV and trap debris worse than the gutter itself.
Yes — every guttering quote is free, itemised and provided in writing within 48 hours of inspection. Cork: 021 2040925. Limerick: 061 788600. Galway: 091 622895. South Dublin: 01 2657795.
Yes — our 24/7 emergency service covers blocked / overflowing gutters that are causing active internal damage. We aim to attend within 24 hours and complete temporary clearance and weatherproofing the same visit, with permanent repair scheduled within the week.
All guttering work is covered by a 10-year written workmanship guarantee. Manufacturer warranties on the materials themselves run 20—40 years depending on the system (uPVC: 20 years, seamless aluminium: 25 years, copper: 50+ years).
