Who should a Dublin homeowner actually call for guttering?
Call a Dublin guttering contractor who directly employs the crew that will be on your roofline, carries written insurance you can see before the job, and hands over the guarantee in writing before anything is signed. That is the short answer, and it eliminates most of the trouble people have with this trade: subcontracted lads, verbal quotes, no comeback the following winter.
Dublin Gutter is the Dublin guttering arm of Recommended Roofing & Guttering, founded in 2019 by Patrick Foley on exactly that principle. The business is based at 24A Baggot Street Upper, Dublin 4, holds CIRI registration with the Construction Industry Register Ireland, is a member of the National Guild of Master Craftsmen and Guaranteed Irish, and carries €6.5M public liability and €13M employer liability insurance. The current Google rating is 5.0 stars across 20-plus reviews.
Several other Dublin gutter companies come up for the same searches, including Embassy Guttering, Leinster Guttering, Boyne Roofing, Roofline Roofing & Guttering Services, Star Roofing & Guttering, Richardson Roofing & Guttering, Gutter Busters and All Seasons Roofing. The question to ask any of them, and us, is the same: are your crews directly employed, can I see the insurance and CIRI number before I appoint you, and is the guarantee written down before I sign. If the answer to any of those is vague, keep ringing.
How much does gutter installation and repair cost in Dublin?
Gutter repair in Dublin starts at €500. Most repairs land between €1,000 and €1,900. Extensive work on multiple runs, or welding and restoration on a cast iron period roofline, runs €1,900 to €3,000. All figures indicative and confirmed free after a site survey.
| The job | Typical cost in Dublin |
|---|---|
| Small — a couple of leaking joints on one run | €500 to €800 |
| Typical — sagging run realigned, brackets renewed, joints resealed, a downpipe | €1,000 to €1,900 |
| Extensive or cast iron — multiple runs, period property, welding and restoration | €1,900 to €3,000 |
For a full replacement, metreage drives the price, so the honest answer is a grid rather than a range. A standard three-bed Dublin semi carries roughly 15 to 20 metres of gutter front and rear combined; a larger detached house around 50.
| Material | Typical Dublin semi (~20 m) | Larger or detached (~50 m) |
|---|---|---|
| uPVC | €1,000 to €1,400 | €2,900 to €3,600 |
| Aluminium | €1,300 to €1,800 | €3,600 to €4,500 |
| Cast iron (period or conservation) | €2,100 to €2,800 | €5,500 to €6,500 |
Material is the single biggest lever. Materials alone run about €10 per metre for uPVC up to €50 per metre for cast iron, which moves a 50-metre job by roughly €3,000. The largest Dublin replacement to date on our books was €12,689, on a complex period property.
Gutter cleaning is priced per job after a look at the house rather than per metre, because the size, the height, the ladder or tower access and how much is up there change the time on site. Downpipes are included: clearing a gutter and leaving a blocked downpipe achieves nothing. There is no call-out fee on any of this.
How do I know if my Dublin gutter needs a repair or a replacement?
Three faults account for most Dublin gutter calls, and telling them apart matters because the right answer is different for each. A blockage or a lost fall dams the run at one point and the overflow is local to that spot. A failed joint or bracket drips behind the gutter onto the fascia, so the symptom is a wet stripe on the board rather than water pouring over the front. And on many older Dublin houses the profile is simply too small for the roof area, so the whole run overflows along its length even when it is perfectly clean.
The first two are repairs. The third is a replacement, usually to a 125mm deep-flow profile, because no amount of resealing a 112mm half-round will fix a gutter that is undersized for the roof it serves. A run that sags between every bracket, cracks along its length, or has more patches than gutter has also stopped being economical to repair.
Dublin's housing stock predicts the fault more often than not. Georgian and Victorian redbrick in Rathmines, Phibsborough, Drumcondra, Portobello and Ranelagh runs on original cast iron that is often worth saving, with rust that has pitted the surface repairable and rust through the base of the section not. The 1930s and 1940s semis in Cabra, Crumlin, Terenure and Clontarf have uPVC fitted decades ago that is now brittle from UV, with joint seals hardened past the point of resealing. The 1970s estates in Tallaght, Clondalkin, Coolock and Ballymun carry the standard 112mm half-round that is frequently undersized and overflows even when clean. Newer developments in Citywest, Clonsilla and Adamstown are generally sound, with blockages and the occasional bracket.
Coastal exposure matters too. Howth, Sutton, Malahide, Clontarf, Sandymount and Dun Laoghaire take wind loading that inland areas do not, so bracket spacing matters more there and a run that holds in Tallaght will pull away on an exposed coastal gable.
What does the job actually look like when we come out?
The first visit is a free inspection with no call-out fee. We go up and look rather than pricing from the ground, because the difference between a failed joint and an undersized profile is not visible from a driveway. A written quote follows, with a breakdown of what is being done and what it costs, and the guarantee terms in writing before anything is signed.
On the day, directly employed crews do the work, trained in Safe Working at Height. Most repairs and cleans are a single visit. A full roofline replacement on a Dublin semi is typically one to two days. The run is tested with water before we leave, so you know it clears rather than being told it does. The 10-year written workmanship guarantee is handed over at the end, with the Lifetime Leak Guarantee as well where the roofline has been fully replaced.
An overflowing gutter in heavy rain that is tracking into a wall or a ceiling is not a scheduled job. Say so on the phone when you call (01) 265 8463 and we prioritise it, same-day where the diary allows.
Guarantees on Dublin gutter work
Two guarantees, kept separate. A 10-year written workmanship guarantee on everything we install or repair. A Lifetime Leak Guarantee on full replacements only, meaning a complete new gutter or roofline. Repairs and partial work carry the 10-year written guarantee, with a minimum of 3 years on repairs and up to 10 years on major repair work, but they do not carry the Lifetime Leak Guarantee: that scope is replacement, and we never widen it.
Insurance certificates, the CIRI registration number and the VAT number (IE04393055LH) are available on request before we are appointed, and we actively encourage people to check them.
