Ask your QuestionHow long should my guttering last for? I’ve moved into a house recently which has had guttering for about the past ten years. It is uPVC guttering. I’d like to know how many years I can expect this type of guttering to last before it will need replacing.

Answered on 30th Dec 2020 - Member since Dec 2020 - report"Like other plastic guttering, prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain will damage the material. UPVC can also easily crack when subjected to strong forces such as impact from falling branches, rocks, and hailstones. UPVC is expected to last from ten years to twenty five years"
