New downpipes
Run from the outlet to the drain or a water butt and clipped every metre and a half so they stay straight in wind.

One length of gutter, corner to corner, no joints to drip
Rainline forms seamless aluminium gutters on your drive from a coil, cut to the exact length of each wall. We also fit PVC and coated steel runs, new downpipes and brackets, and every quote is measured on the house and priced by the metre.

Why one piece beats ten
Sectional gutters arrive in short lengths joined with clips and rubber seals, and those joints are where most drips and sagging begin. A seamless gutter has joints only at the corners and the outlets.
We park a forming machine on your drive, feed it a coil of coated aluminium and cut each run to the length we measured. The gutter goes up the same day on hidden brackets, spaced for the weight of rain and snow your roof sheds.
- No joints along the straight runs
- Hidden brackets every 60 cm
- Corners mitred and sealed on the ground
- Outlets placed where the downpipes need to drop
What each metre costs, fitted
Prices include taking the old gutter down, new brackets and fitting. Downpipes, corners and outlets sit on lines of their own, so the quote adds up the way your house is built.
| Material | Profile | Fitted price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVC | Half round or square | from $28 a metre | Light and quick to fit; colours can fade in strong sun |
| Seamless aluminium | K style or half round | from $42 a metre | Formed on site in one length and does not rust |
| Coated steel | Half round or box | from $58 a metre | The heaviest and stiffest; suits long roofs and heavy snow |
| Downpipes | Round or square | from $30 a metre | Matched to the gutter, usually one for every 10 to 12 metres of run |
| Corners and outlets | Mitred or moulded | from $35 each | Every internal corner, external corner and drop is counted |
Minimum job $480. A tower or scaffold is priced separately for houses over two storeys or with a glass roof below the eaves.
How a quote by the metre adds up
Send rough lengths and we email a price range the same week. The fixed price follows a short measuring visit, because eaves are rarely as long as they look from the ground and corners add up quickly.
On the visit we measure every wall, count the corners and outlets, look at the fascia boards behind the old gutter and work out how much roof drains to each side. You get a written quote that lists each line, valid for 60 days.
- Every wall measured from a ladder, never guessed
- Corners, outlets and downpipes counted one by one
- Fascia condition checked before we price
- Written quote within two working days

Downpipes, guards and the parts that fail first
Most of these can go onto a new gutter or onto a run that is still sound.
Gutter guards
Fine mesh that keeps leaves and moss out of the channel. Guards make cleaning rarer, but they never end it.
Per metrefrom $18
Fascia boards
Rotten timber fascias replaced before the gutter goes on, so the brackets have something sound to hold.
Per metrefrom $36
Sagging run reset
Brackets reset to the right fall, so water runs to the outlet instead of pooling in the middle.
Per runfrom $95
Rain heads
Collector boxes where several pipes meet, sized for heavy downpours off large roofs.
Eachfrom $85
Old gutter removal
Old runs, pipes and brackets taken down and carried off for recycling with every fitted job.

Runs we fitted this autumn
From a single bungalow wall to a terrace in black steel, and one of the tired gutters we took down.
Heard after the first big storm (example reviews)
Thirty one metres along the back of the bungalow in one piece, formed on the drive while we watched. The first heavy storm went straight down the pipes and nothing dripped on the patio.
They found two rotten fascia boards behind the old plastic gutter and priced them before starting, not halfway through. Anthracite to match the windows, fitted in a day.
Black steel half round on our terrace, matching the neighbours' originals. The quote listed every corner and clip, and the bill came to exactly that.

Gutter fitting, asked and answered
Why does seamless cost more per metre than PVC?
The aluminium coil costs more and the gutter is formed on site with our own machine. Because the straight runs have no joints, it usually lasts far longer with less upkeep, so the cost over the years tends to even out.
How do you decide the gutter size?
We look at how much roof drains into each run, how steep it is and how hard the rain falls where you live. A large, steep roof may need a deeper profile or an extra downpipe rather than a bigger gutter all round.
Can new gutters go onto our old fascia boards?
Only if the boards are sound. We check them on the measuring visit, and if they are soft or split we price replacements before work starts, never as a surprise on the day.
How long does fitting take?
Most houses take one day, including taking the old gutters down. Long runs, steel profiles or a scaffold can stretch it to two.
Do gutter guards mean no more cleaning?
No. Guards keep leaves and moss out of the channel, but fine grit still settles and the mesh itself needs brushing now and then. They make cleaning rarer, not unnecessary.
When do we pay?
Jobs under $2,000 need no deposit. The invoice comes once the gutters are up and tested with a hose, and payment is arranged directly with the office.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Seamless aluminium and steel runs carry our 15 year workmanship guarantee, and PVC runs 10 years. The makers of the coil and pipes add their own material warranties, which we hand over in writing.
