How long does uPVC guttering last for?

Question

How 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.

You will need to renew any time now.
Ten years is a good time for seals to last.

Hope this  helps.

As a general rule of thumb, guttering that has been installed within the past decade can last for up to thirty years due to advanced formulations during the manufacturing process. Plastic gutters that have been in place for more than twenty years could very well require an upgrade.

Should easily last twenty-five years before any of the rubbers in the joints or corners start leaking.

Upvc guttering usually lasts between ten years to twenty five years

Ryan · Answer

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
