Gutter replacement is taking down the old guttering on a home and fitting new gutter runs, brackets and downpipes in its place, usually in Colorbond steel or zincalume. It is the right fix once rust, sag or leaks have spread along a run and patching one section at a time no longer makes sense. In Perth it usually takes our team about a day on a single-storey home: we strip and take away the old guttering, fix the new runs to the fascia with a fall towards the downpipes, and connect the downpipes into your stormwater.

About gutter replacement in Perth
We replace gutters on homes right across Perth, north and south of the river, from Duncraig and Joondalup on the northern coast to Morley, Floreat and Victoria Park. Your gutters are there to catch the run-off from the roof and carry it away from the walls and footings. Once they rust through, pull away from the fascia or overflow in every downpour, water sheets over the front door, runs into the eaves and down the walls, and in Perth's sandy soil washes out garden beds and paving. The roof and its gutters keep the rain out of your biggest investment, and replacing a failed run is the point where the problem actually goes away.
People call it gutter replacement, roof gutter replacement, new guttering or re-guttering; it is all the same job. We measure the runs, recommend a profile (quad, half-round and square-line are all common on Perth homes) and a colour to suit your roof and fascia, and give you a written quote before any of the old guttering comes down. Colorbond matched to the trim is the usual choice, with zincalume, aluminium, copper and PVC as alternatives. Standard profiles and Colorbond colours are stocked by Perth roofing suppliers, so there is usually little wait; copper or an unusual colour may need ordering, and the quote says how long.
Because the whole run is new, the profile, colour, brackets and downpipes match from end to end, which patching older guttering rarely manages. It is also the time to sort out the rest of the roof drainage: rusted downpipes, damaged fascia and rusted roof valleys (the metal channels where two roof slopes meet, which leak into the ceiling once rust gets through) can be quoted alongside the guttering, so the whole system is watertight in one visit. To book, tell us your suburb and roughly how many storeys, and we come back with a free quote.

So what is gutter replacement in Perth, exactly?
Last updated
Gutter replacement means the old guttering comes off the house and new guttering goes on, rather than a rusted section being patched or a joint resealed. On most Perth homes that is a full perimeter of Colorbond or zincalume gutter, new brackets, stop ends and outlets, and often new downpipes to match.
Perth is harder on gutters than its mild reputation suggests. Sand and grit blow in all summer, leaf litter follows, and then the winter fronts arrive: the Bureau of Meteorology's Perth Metro averages put more than half of the year's rain in June, July and August. A gutter that has held wet sludge for years rusts from the inside, and usually shows itself in that first heavy front.

What the job involves
We measure every run, count the corners, outlets and downpipes, and quote in writing. On the day the old guttering is unscrewed, pulled off and taken away, and the fascia is checked while it is bare. New brackets go on at the right spacing, the runs are set with a slight fall towards each outlet so water moves rather than sits, corners and stop ends are sealed and riveted, and the downpipes are connected into the stormwater.
New guttering also gets overflow provision, usually slots along the front, so a blocked downpipe spills water outwards rather than back into the eaves. A single-storey home with straight runs is usually a day's work; a two-storey home or stubborn old guttering can push it to two.
When Perth homes need new gutters
Not every leak means replacement. One rusted joint or a sagging bracket is a repair. Replacement is the answer when rust spots run the length of a gutter, when the base has gone thin enough to push a finger through, when several runs are sagging and holding water, or when the guttering is an old profile that no supplier stocks any more.
Brick and tile homes from the 1970s and 80s in suburbs like Duncraig, Morley and Floreat are often reaching that point now. Coastal homes get there sooner, because salt air speeds up corrosion. Homes under jarrah and marri along the Darling Scarp get there through years of wet leaf litter and heavier rain than the coastal plain. On a tile roof the tiles stay put except at a valley; on a tin roof we check the sheet ends while the gutter is off.
What affects the cost of gutter replacement
Four things move the price more than anything else: the total metres of guttering, the number of corners, outlets and downpipes, the material and profile you choose, and the access. A single-storey home with straight runs and level ground is the simplest job; a two-storey home with a steep tile roof and many corners is at the other end.
We do not publish a per-metre rate, because it hides the corners and downpipes that make up much of the work. A free written quote on your own home is worth more than a number that fits the house next door.
Colorbond, zincalume, aluminium, copper or PVC
Colorbond is coated steel with a baked-on colour finish in a wide range, so it suits any home where the gutter is on show. Zincalume is the same coated steel in a plain metallic finish, usually cheaper, and fine on a shed or the back of a house. A higher corrosion grade of Colorbond is made for homes near the surf, so say so if you live close to the ocean.
Aluminium does not rust and is light, though it dents more easily. Copper is the premium choice on character homes and is usually ordered in. PVC is cheap to fit but can fade and go brittle in Perth sun.
How replacement fits with repair, installation and roof plumbing
Gutter repair is for one bad joint, bracket or short section on guttering that is otherwise sound. Gutter installation is new guttering where none existed: a new build, an extension or a patio. Roof plumbing covers valleys, flashings, box gutters and stormwater. Gutter replacement sits in the middle: the old runs come off, new ones go on, and if a rusted valley or a rotten fascia board turns up we quote it on the same visit.
If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you straight. We would rather quote a repair than sell you a replacement you do not need.
FAQs
Gutter replacement questions
How much does gutter replacement cost in Perth?
It depends on the total length of guttering, the number of corners, outlets and downpipes, the material you choose, and how easy the roof is to reach. A single-storey home with straight runs costs less than a two-storey home with many corners, and Colorbond costs more than zincalume. We measure your home and give you a free written quote before any work starts.
Colorbond or zincalume: which should I choose?
Colorbond is steel with a baked-on colour finish in a wide range, so it suits homes where the gutter is on show. Zincalume is the same steel with a plain metallic finish, usually cheaper, and fine on a shed or the back of the house. Both last well in Perth if leaves and sand are cleared. Near the coast, ask about the higher corrosion grade.
How long does gutter replacement take?
For an average single-storey Perth home, taking the old gutters down and fitting the new ones usually takes about a day. It can stretch to two on a large or two-storey home, where the old guttering is hard to get off, or where the fascia needs work once the gutter is removed. The quote says the expected time on site.
Can you replace just the downpipes?
Yes. If a downpipe has rusted through, split or come away from the wall, or you want a new colour to match a repainted house, we can replace the downpipes on their own without touching the gutters. It is a small job that does not take long, and we will say if the outlets need attention too.
Does the fascia need replacing at the same time?
Not always. If the fascia is sound, the new brackets fix to it as before. But a gutter that has leaked for years often leaves rotted timber or rusted steel fascia behind it, and new guttering will not hold on that. We check the fascia when we measure up and again once the old gutter is off, and quote any fascia work as its own line.
Can you replace one section of guttering instead of the whole lot?
Yes, where the rest of the run is sound. One rusted or sagging length can be cut out and a new section joined to the guttering either side, usually the sensible option on a younger roof. Where several runs are failing, a full replacement often costs little more and gives you one profile and colour all the way round.
Do you replace roof valleys as well?
Yes. Roof valleys are the metal channels where two roof slopes meet, and once rust gets through them water runs into the ceiling instead of the gutter. Replacing a valley means lifting the surrounding tiles, fitting new valley iron and relaying the tiles, so it is roof plumbing work and its own line on the quote. We cannot price a valley without looking at it.
How do I know my gutters need replacing rather than repairing?
Look for rust spots or pinholes along a whole run rather than at one joint, a gutter base that flexes or has gone thin, several runs sagging and holding water, or brackets pulling away from the fascia in more than one place. Any of those means patching becomes a yearly job. One leaking joint or one sagging bracket is a repair, and we will tell you which it is.
Is there a warranty on new gutters?
Two warranties usually apply. The steel maker's product warranty covers the Colorbond or zincalume against faults such as corrosion and paint failure, with terms that depend on the product and how close your home is to the coast. A workmanship warranty covers the fitting. Ask for both in writing with your quote and keep them with your receipt.
Are you the tradespeople, or a booking service?
Aus Gutters is the booking service: your free quote comes from one of the independent, licensed and insured Perth gutter businesses in our network, and that business does the work and stands behind it. You still get one local number, one written quote and one team on your roof, and the team that quotes is the team that turns up.
Which Perth suburbs do you cover?
All of Perth metro, north and south of the river, from the coastal suburbs to the Darling Scarp. We have local pages for Duncraig, Joondalup, Morley, Floreat and Victoria Park and work in the suburbs around each of them just as often. If yours is not listed, tell us where you are and we will confirm.
How soon can you come out?
As soon as we can to measure up and quote, and the same day where possible if a gutter has come down or is pouring water into the eaves, so say if it is urgent when you call. The replacement itself is booked in once you approve the quote and the materials are on hand; standard Colorbond colours are usually in stock in Perth.
