Or try it on the web →This gutter replacement quote template is for standard residential jobs, single or double storey. Most roofers get the per-metre price right but lose money on waste factors and disposal costs. Underestimating cuts on a complex roofline or the tip fees for old steel gutters can wipe out your profit before you start. This template helps you price every part of the job properly, from new downpipes to the final site clean-up. It's built to make sure you get paid for every bracket, rivet, and hour you're on the tools, so you don't end up working for free.
How to price the real costs of a gutter job
Your main costs are materials and labour. Price Colorbond quad gutter from a supplier like Lysaght or Stratco at around $12-$18 per lineal metre, but always add a 15% waste factor for cuts and corners. Labour is where quotes vary. For a straightforward single-storey house, you might charge $60-$80 per lineal metre for removal and installation. For a two-storey house with difficult access, that can jump to $100-$140 per metre. Don't forget sundries like silicone, rivets, and brackets—allow about 5% of the total material cost. A quoting app like QuoteMate helps you save these as standard line items so they're never forgotten.
What most roofers leave off a gutter quote
Forgetting access equipment and correct disposal will destroy your margin. A single-storey job might just need ladders, but anything over 3 metres or on a steep pitch requires edge protection or scaffolding. This can add $600-$2000+ to the job cost. Also, budget for waste disposal. A ute-load of old steel guttering might cost $150 at the tip. If you find old asbestos gutters, you need a licensed remover, which can add thousands. Always check the fascia boards for rot. Replacing a few metres of timber fascia can add another $400 in materials and labour. All installations must comply with AS/NZS 3500.3 for roof drainage.

Frequently Asked Questions
For a simple rectangular roof, a 10% waste factor is usually safe. For a complex roof with multiple hips, valleys, and corners, you need to increase that to 15-20%. It's always cheaper to have a half-length of gutter left over than it is to send an apprentice back to a supplier like Stratco for a single piece, losing hours of paid labour.
Always inspect the fascia while you're measuring up. If you see peeling paint, soft spots, or water stains, quote to replace those sections as an optional extra for the client. It is much better to price the potential variation upfront than to argue about it halfway through the job. A standard 4.2m length of primed timber fascia costs around $40 from Bunnings.
Always offer leaf guard as a separate, optional line item. Explain the benefit, especially if there are overhanging trees, but make it clear it's an add-on as it can significantly increase labour time. A good quality aluminium gutter mesh can add $30-$50 per metre to the final price, so it's a profitable upsell if the customer wants it.
