quote £180+VAT to replace Guttering

Hi I live in a 4 bed detached 2 story house, and the guttering at the front (about 12m of it) needs to be entirely replaced (it is 15 years old and leaking so I believe this)

Is £180 for new gutters and fixings reasonable

Thanks in advance

    i would say that's a reasonable price
    i should think the guttering will come to 60-80 and then a day to do it
  • You have to take in to account the fixtures & fittings used and disposal too.

    B&Q use marley drainage products.....same as plumb center,pts etc stock but at half the price, even with the maximum trade discount from PTS, B&Q would still come out cheaper
