Guttering & Fascia Replacement Cost in Adelaide (2026)

New guttering in Adelaide costs about $40 to $60 per linear metre for the gutter alone, or $75 to $105 per metre all-in once you add downpipes, removal of the old gutters, and fascia work. A typical single-storey home runs roughly $3,000 to $6,000. This guide gives the real per-metre and whole-home Adelaide figures for Colorbond guttering, fascia, and downpipes, plus the signs it is time to replace.

TL;DR

• Colorbond gutter alone costs $40 to $60 per linear metre, or $75 to $105 per metre all-in.
• A whole single-storey Adelaide home usually runs $3,000 to $6,000.
• Fascia adds about $20 to $40 per metre, and downpipes $10 to $30 per metre.
• Replacing fascia and gutters together is usually cheaper than doing them separately.

Key takeaways

• The all-in metre rate is the number that matters, because it includes downpipes, removal, and disposal, not just the gutter.
• Rusting, sagging, or overflowing gutters are the clearest signs it is time to replace rather than repair.
• Colorbond is the standard choice in Adelaide for colour match and corrosion resistance.
• Failing gutters cause "roof leaks" that are really water backing up under the eaves, so they are worth fixing early.

Should you replace fascia and gutters together?

In most cases, yes. The fascia is the board the gutter fixes to, so if it is rotten or rusted there is no sound base to hang a new gutter on. Doing both in one job saves a second set-up and access cost, and it means the gutter is mounted on a fresh, straight line. Budget the fascia at about $20 to $40 per metre on top of the gutter rate when the existing board needs replacing.

Signs you need new guttering

Replace guttering rather than repair it when you see rust holes, sagging runs that pool water, gutters pulling away from the fascia, or water overflowing the front edge in every heavy rain. Overflow is the one to act on quickly, because water spilling behind the gutter runs down the wall and back under the eaves, where it looks exactly like a roof leak inside the house.

Gutter guards and downpipes

Downpipes carry water from the gutter to the ground and cost about $10 to $30 per metre to replace, usually as part of a full guttering job. Gutter guard is an optional add at roughly $10 to $30 per metre that keeps leaves out and is worth considering on homes near gum trees, where blocked gutters are a recurring cause of overflow and leaks.
