Recommendations for new UPVC guttering?

Hi all

I'm new to the forum but was hoping that someone might be able to recommend a reputable company that deals with fitting new UPVC guttering and fascia boards?

I found an old thread from 2010 but was hoping to find some more recent recommendations.

I'm based in the Belfast/Lisburn area. Many thanks in advance for any help on who to use (or to avoid!)

  • I used www.hhi-ni.com a number of years ago and fuond them excellent. Nice finish, good workmanship and reasonable price. Worth a quote.

    This is not a recommendation for any particular company, but an observation. When we had round bottomed guttering, they only required cleaning once a year. Flat bottomed guttering was fitted 20 years ago and since then it has had to be cleaned 3 or 4 times annually. The old round bottomed gutter concentrated the flow, now the water spreads over the flat bottom, flows slowly and weakly and doesn't wash rubbish away. Looks good, but isn't as effective as the old stuff!
  • Thanks for sharing your experiences.

    I'll check out the company you mention for a quote. I'll also try to find out if the round bottomed guttering is available in the UPVC or not! This is our first house so I have very little experience of these types of things - I appreciate your comments!

    Hi. I recently got guttering installed by HHI as well. I can't comment on the cleaning etc yet, but we paid £990 for a three bed detached house, which I thought was very reasonable. I wish I'd done it years ago, as it has made such a difference...
