Guttering

[vivienz]

Super thick question for the day.  Who usually puts guttering up?  Would my roofer be able to do this, or do I get another trade for it?

 

Thanks, chaps!

For me in Aberdeenshire roofers didn't quote for doing this, plumbers did.

Plumber normally 

Its normall to put the gutters on and leave the down pipe till the scaffold is down

I have used temporary downpipes to stop the walls getting soaked.

You can use a flexible (ie, film) plastic tubing for this. Cheap, but it can get shredded in windy weather.

Generally it's been the plumber (5 of our builds) but on our current house, the general builders did it.

We used a prime contractor and he employed two general builders. One mostly did foundations, bricklaying, roof tiling etc. The other did mostly woodwork, plumbing and insulation. There was a lot of overlap between these two and they put up our guttering together.
