A full gutter replacement is the right call when the sagging is along the whole run, the material is beyond patching (perished uPVC that shatters when you touch it, or cast iron with rust holes right through), or when the fascia behind it is being replaced anyway. The other reason people replace working guttering is aesthetic - swapping white uPVC for Anthracite Grey or Black Ash to match new windows and doors is now one of the most common trade jobs.

For a standard two-storey semi expect around 15-20m of gutter, 8-12m of downpipe, plus outlets, angles, unions and stop ends. In uPVC that's £450-£850 fitted; in cast aluminium (period property or coastal) £1,100-£1,900; in cast iron (listed or conservation area) £1,800-£3,500. The profile choice matters as much as the material: Half Round is the default, Ogee (K-style) has a decorative front face that suits Victorian terraces, and Deepflow is a higher-capacity profile worth paying for on a large or steep roof where 112mm half-round would overflow in a storm.
