Rainwater guttering has gone from a boring plumbing job to a proper style choice - which is why so many UK homeowners now replace working guttering just to switch from white to black or Anthracite Grey to match new windows. But guttering also does real structural work: 200 litres a minute in a heavy storm has to go somewhere, and if the fall is wrong or a joint fails you get wet walls and eventually damp inside.

The two big variables are profile and material. Profile - Half Round, Ogee (K-style, more decorative), Deepflow (higher capacity for larger roofs). Material - uPVC is the mainstream default, cast aluminium is more expensive but looks period and doesn't sag, cast iron is authentic for pre-1930 properties but needs painting. For a standard semi, expect around 15-20 metres of gutter, 8-12 metres of downpipe, plus outlets, angles and unions.
