Professional gutter replacement across Wollongong, Kiama, Shellharbour and the greater Illawarra region. Old gutter removal, new Colorbond guttering, fascia board repair, downpipe upgrades and gutter guard installation.
Gutter replacement involves removing an old, corroded or failed gutter system and installing new guttering — typically in Colorbond steel — along the full eave line of a building. In Illawarra, gutter replacement costs $1,500-$5,000 for a standard residential home. Quad gutter (the most common Australian residential profile) in Colorbond costs $45-$70 per lineal metre installed, including removal of old gutters and disposal. Half-round gutter costs $50-$80 per metre. A typical single-storey home requires 40-60 lineal metres of guttering, bringing the total to $2,500-$4,000. Fascia board repair or replacement — often needed when rotted from years of leaking gutters — adds $30-$60 per metre. New downpipes cost $150-$350 each installed. Gutter replacement is recommended when corrosion is widespread rather than localised, when multiple joints leak despite resealing, or when the existing galvanised gutters have exceeded their 20-25 year lifespan. Colorbond gutters carry a 36-year warranty against perforation from corrosion in Illawarra's coastal environment and last significantly longer than galvanised alternatives.
Remove old gutters and install new Colorbond guttering with correct fall, sealed joints, adequate brackets and colour-matched accessories. All profiles available.
Inspect and repair rotted or damaged fascia boards before new gutters are installed. Replace timber or install PVC fascia for a maintenance-free finish.
Replace undersized or corroded downpipes with new Colorbond downpipes correctly sized for your roof area. Connect to existing stormwater drainage.
Install mesh gutter guards during replacement for maximum leaf protection from day one. Integrated installation is more effective than retrofit.
Replace only the damaged sections when the rest of your gutter system is sound. Seamlessly joined to existing guttering with matching profile and colour.
Connect new downpipes to stormwater drains. Install new stormwater connections where none exist to properly manage roof water away from your foundations.

These are typical price ranges for the Illawarra and NSW, drawn from published 2026 industry pricing data — not a quote, and not our fixed prices. What your job actually costs depends on access, the age and condition of the plumbing, parts, and whether it is after hours. We give you a fixed price before we start work, so you are never guessing.
