Why homeowners choose this
What actually decides the job
Trough size is set by roof area and pitch, not by house size. A steep roof sheds faster, so a 5-inch trough that is adequate on a bungalow can overshoot on a storey-and-a-half with the same footprint.
Downspout count is the variable most often got wrong. Adding a second downspout to a long run costs less than upsizing the whole trough and moves more water.
Where a trough is fastened matters as much as what it is. Hidden hangers land in the fascia board; if that board is soft, the fastening is decorative.
What drives the price
Where the number comes from
Linear metres of roof edge, the number of downspouts the roof area needs, and how far each one has to be run to discharge legally.
What we find
Most common failures on London walls
Discharge dumped at the base of the wall, which turns a roof problem into a foundation problem and, in most municipalities here, breaks the drainage bylaw as well.
Downspout still connected to an underground pipe of unknown destination — often a clay line to the sanitary system that has been broken for years.

Frequently asked questions
Eavestrough Installation in London
How far does a downspout have to discharge from the house?
It is set by municipal bylaw and it is not the same everywhere in this service area. London sets a minimum in its drainage bylaw; St. Thomas publishes a longer figure as guidance. Both are further than most existing downspouts actually run.
Can eavestrough be replaced without doing the soffit and fascia?
Yes, though the fascia board gets inspected either way, because it is what the hangers fasten into. If the board is sound the trough goes back on it.
