Rough cost of minor gutter repair?

We need a small (2m) length of PVC guttering replaced, and intend to get a couple of quotes this week. Can anyone advise re. the likely cost of this (including the cost of the 2m segment) in the Greater London area?

    Depends on access.


    If it is over a conservatory or it is a three storey house, access will be a headache and you will pay dear for the privilege!


    But if its a standard house and access isn't an issue, you should get it done for £100 or so including materials.

    Thanks. Access is not too bad. It's the top level of 3-storey house, but the gutter is easily accessible from a flat roof of an extension immediately below it, so it's effectively one floor up.

    Identify where you are in London and someone maybe able to assist with recommendations.

    Possibly more than you think for such a small job . isnt there anyone you know thats fairly handy . If its off a set of steps and safe to do its an hour job worth a meal or a few pints . tradesman that is new to you could make it a big job fairly quickly . £££

    I'm in the Richmond area - West London. Unfortunately I don't know anyone local enough to help out.

    Really recommend the following https://www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk/find-a-business/
    I've used it several times to find reputable tradesmen in my area and have been very happy with outcome.
