Guttering

[racoony]

I live in a terraced house and my front guttering needs replacing.I had it done 6 years ago and paid 850 pounds for a rubbish job.I have been quoted 1400 pounds recently.Is this excessive?

I'm no expert, but I have helped my dad put troughings up when he was still working.
We're gonna need more info so we can give you more accurate information, like:
What sort of troughings are you replacing (plastic, wood, etc)??
What is the total length of troughings??
How high/awkward are the troughings??

Going off what my dad used to charge, I'd say £1400 is VERY excessive, but we need more info first .....

Must be some serious guttering for £1400, racoon. What did the quote include?

Sounds way over the top.....you really should get at least two more quotes.

Thanks all for very helpful replies.The quote featured no information at all! I know nothing about the technical side, but it's good to know the price is too high and I am going to tell the roofer not to bother.The website sent by Gizmonster is vey useful, much appreciated.
