Get some more quotes ... sounds like they are extracting the urine.
Says someone whoA) Doesn’t know the spec of the gutter.
B) Doesn’t know the amount.
C) Doesn’t know the access requirements.
But hey, they’re’Taking the urine’ …..
If so, what to do you think ?

You need 3 gutter unions which costs less than a tenner. But then you also need the existing guttering removing and the brackets moved up or down to fix the fall then the guttering clipping back in. One bloke could probably do it off a ladder in a day but it’s dirty and awkward work. Not tough on a bungalow but not nice the higher you go. If you don’t want to do it then pay the money.
Quite happy to pay a professional to do the job, buts as I have never had to have this done before, I was taken aback at the initial quote.The guy that was suppposed to come yesterday blew out

The thing is this job is the sort of job the "handyman" type guys promote themselves to do, but they often do as st a job as I would do.......
Finding a decent guy is tricky.
