Storm-Damaged Gutters
After a storm, keep people away from anything hanging, photograph the damage, and get the gutter made safe before it's repaired. Refixing what's sound and replacing what's broken costs €80 to €450 for a single repair and €300 to €500 for a section in Dublin. Home insurance often covers storm damage; the photos matter.

The same day
- Keep people and cars clear of a gutter or downpipe that's hanging.
- Don't climb a ladder in the wind to fix it.
- Photograph every bit of damage from the ground, and anything that fell, before it's moved.
- If water is pouring onto the wall or into the house, note where, so the company knows what to make safe first.
What gets repaired
Storms rarely take a whole gutter. Usually one length is knocked off or a bracket pulled out, a joint split, or a downpipe torn off its clips. The company refixes what's sound, replaces the broken lengths to match, and checks the fascia and the roof edge above, where slipped slates or tiles often go with a gutter.
Insurance
Most home insurance covers storm damage, with an excess. Insurers ask for photos, the date, and a written repair price. Wear and tear isn't covered, so a gutter that was already falling off may be refused. Ask the company to put the storm damage and any old faults on separate lines.

Questions people ask
Is a gutter repair after a storm an emergency?
Make it safe the same day if it's hanging over a door or a path. The repair itself can wait for the wind to drop.
Will my insurance pay?
Often, for storm damage, with your excess. Old wear isn't covered. Read your policy and keep the photos.
Should the roof be checked too?
Yes. Slipped slates, ridge tiles and lifted felt at the eaves often come with storm-damaged gutters.
