guttering repair cost

I have a leaky guttering at the end of my roof. It drips constantly after rain. It looks to me as though it is not correctly fitted ( purchased the house 2 months ago) so how much would it cost for me to get someone in and have an end part replaced.


Apart from the end section there does not appear to be any drips so I am presuming it would just be that part that needs replacing. I don't have a ladder higher enough or feel confident on what to do before someone says get a ladder and do X Y and Z.

    If it's just a bad seal on an end piece, you're looking at a few quid for the part, plus an hour's work - not very much.

    If the run isn't flowing in the right direction and the whole lot needs redoing - it's often easier to replace it all. Whether or not you need scaffolding tends to make the difference in price.
  • Are the soffit and fascia okay ?

    End stop about £2 bloke with ladder to do it min £25, could even just use gutter sealant from a mastic gun.
