Gutter Replacement Canberra
Full Colorbond gutter replacement across every ACT suburb, plus gutter guards, Fascia Covers, Barge Covers, and downpipes. Free on-site estimates and a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
New Gutters, Measured and Installed Properly
Your gutters are your home's first line of defence against water damage. In Canberra, where heavy downpours can follow weeks of dry weather and autumn leaves block gutters across suburbs like Red Hill, Curtin, and Ainslie, a gutter system that no longer holds water is not a cosmetic problem - it is the start of fascia rot, ceiling stains, and water pooling against your foundations.
We replace old, rusted, and sagging gutters with new Colorbond gutters and downpipes, sized and pitched for the roof area they actually drain. We also install Colorbond Fascia Covers and Barge Covers to protect the timber behind your gutters from moisture, rot, and ongoing maintenance. These metal covers wrap over your existing timber, giving a clean, modern finish that never needs painting.
Whether you need a full gutter replacement, new Fascia Covers, additional downpipes, or gutter guard installation to keep leaves out, we handle the complete job. Start with a free roof estimate - we measure the roofline, explain the profile and colour options, and leave you with a written quote. If your gutters are still sound and simply blocked, say so and we will quote you a gutter cleaning visit instead.

What's Included in Our Gutter Replacement Service
Colorbond Gutter Replacement
We remove your old gutters and install new Colorbond gutters in the profile that best suits your home. Options include Quad, Half-Round, and OG profiles, all available in the full Colorbond colour range.
Removal and Disposal
The old guttering, brackets, and fixings come off and leave with us. Nothing is left in your yard, and the roof edge is checked for damage while it is open and accessible.
Fascia Covers
Colorbond Fascia Covers wrap over your existing timber fascia boards, protecting them from moisture and eliminating the need for ongoing painting and maintenance. They give a clean, modern finish and are colour-matched to your gutters.
Barge Covers
Like Fascia Covers, Colorbond Barge Covers protect the timber barge boards on your gable ends. They provide a neat, weather-resistant finish that completes the look and protects against Canberra's rain, frost, and UV exposure.
Downpipe Installation
Properly sized and positioned downpipes are critical for water flow. We install new downpipes, re-route existing ones where needed, and ensure all stormwater connections are correct and compliant.
Flow Test and Clean-Up
Before we leave we run water through the whole system, check every join and downpipe outlet, and clear the site. You get photos of the finished work and a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

What Does a Full Gutter Replacement Cost in Canberra?
Full gutter replacement in Canberra typically ranges from $6,500 to $10,500 (inc GST) for a single-storey home. Where your job lands in that range depends on the lineal metres of guttering, the profile and colour you choose, the number of downpipes, and the complexity of the roofline. Double-storey homes sit higher because of the access required. For the per-metre rates behind these figures, see our Canberra gutter replacement cost guide.
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full gutter replacement (single storey, complete job) | $6,500 - $10,500 |
| Gutter cleaning (if your gutters are sound) | $350 - $650 |
A few things decide where your job sits in that range:
- Lineal metres of guttering - a typical single-storey Canberra home carries 30 to 50 lineal metres; hip roofs and complex perimeters carry more.
- Profile and colour - Quad, Half-Round, and OG each price differently, and the full Colorbond colour range is available.
- Downpipes - priced per run rather than per metre, because the labour is in the connection to your stormwater.
- Access and storey height - double and triple-storey runs need more setup, and that is quoted upfront rather than added later.
- Fascia Covers and Barge Covers - priced separately per lineal metre, from $115 inc GST at single storey, and usually done in the same visit.
Most homeowners do the gutters, Fascia Covers, and Barge Covers in one visit, because the roof edge is already open and the colours are matched in one go - and if you are also looking at Colorbond roofing, that is the moment to do all of it together. If only a section has failed, a targeted gutter repair is usually the sensible call.
These ranges reflect real Canberra jobs. The best way to get an accurate figure is a free on-site estimate - we measure up, explain the options, and leave you with a written quote. No obligation.Book a Free Gutter Estimate
Signs You Need Gutter Replacement, Not Just a Clean
A blocked gutter and a failed gutter look the same from the ground - both overflow. The difference matters, because one is a few hundred dollars and the other is a full replacement. Here is how we tell them apart.
If your gutters are sagging, pulling away from the fascia, showing rust or holes, splitting at the joins, or still overflowing after a clean, the guttering itself has reached the end of its life and replacement is the better investment. If they are structurally sound and simply full of leaves, a clean is all you need, and that is what we will quote you.
- Rust streaks, pinholes, or flaking on the inside face of the gutter
- Sagging runs or brackets that have pulled away from the fascia
- Water sitting in the gutter days after rain, which means the fall is gone
- Splits or leaking joins that have been silicone-patched more than once
- Overflow during moderate rain even though the gutters were cleared recently
- Rotten or soft fascia timber behind the gutter line
Not sure which one you are looking at? Our roof inspections cover the full gutter line with photos of anything we find, so you get an honest answer before you spend anything. We will never recommend replacement when a clean will do the job.
Gutter Guards - Protect Your New Gutters
Canberra's eucalypts shed year-round and the established inner suburbs add a heavy autumn leaf fall on top of that. New gutters fill up just as fast as old ones, so it is worth deciding about gutter guards while the roof edge is already open and the crew is on site.
We install quality aluminium and steel mesh guards, mechanically fixed with proper under-flashing so the mesh cannot lift in wind. They keep leaves, birds, and pests out while letting water through, and ember-rated options are available for BAL-rated bushfire-prone parts of the ACT.
- Fitted at the same time as the new gutters, so there is only one visit
- Cuts how often the gutters need clearing out
- Bushfire-rated mesh available for BAL 12.5 and above
- Colour-matched to your new gutters and roof
Fascia Covers and Barge Covers
Behind every gutter is a timber fascia board, and on your gable ends a timber barge board. Both sit exposed to Canberra's frost, rain, and UV, and both are the first thing to rot once a gutter has been overflowing for a while. Once the gutter is off, that timber is accessible - which is the moment to protect it.
Colorbond Fascia Covers and Barge Covers wrap over the existing timber rather than replacing it. They stop moisture reaching the board, they never need painting, and they are colour-matched to your gutters and Colorbond roofing for a consistent finish across the whole roofline. They are covers, not boards - the timber stays where it is, sealed away from the weather.
How Canberra's Climate Affects Your Gutters
Canberra is harder on guttering than most Australian cities, and the reason is the freeze-thaw cycle. Water sitting in a gutter overnight in July freezes, expands, and works at every join, seam, and bracket. Do that a few hundred times and the joins open up, the fall flattens out, and the brackets loosen.
Add long dry spells followed by sudden heavy downpours, and a gutter that has quietly lost its fall has no capacity when it finally rains. That is when water backs up over the front lip or runs behind the gutter into the fascia. It is also why gutters here rarely fail all at once - they fail slowly, then all the damage shows up in one storm.
- Freeze-thaw cycles open joins and loosen brackets over successive winters
- Heavy eucalypt and deciduous leaf fall dams water in the run
- Long dry spells hide the loss of fall until the first real downpour
- Hail dents and creases old thin-gauge guttering, holding water where it sits
- High-altitude UV degrades old sealants and any silicone patch repairs
New Colorbond guttering, pitched correctly and fixed at the right bracket spacing, handles all of it. That is the standard we install to on every job.
