Zinc Guttering

Next-Day Delivery (order by 11:30 am)

Zinc guttering tends to attract people who’ve already been through plastic once… and don’t want to do it again. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

We are a UK-based leading supplier of high-quality zinc guttering and zinc rainwater systems, designed for long life, low maintenance, and a finish that improves with age rather than fighting it. This isn’t decorative metal pretending to be practical. It’s proper metal rainwater goods, used across Europe for decades, now firmly back in favour in the UK.

This range offers both natural zinc guttering and quartz zinc guttering, along with matching zinc downpipes, hoppers, zinc box guttering and fittings — all available with next working day delivery (order before 11:30am, subject to stock).

Natural Zinc or Quartz Zinc Guttering – Which Should You Choose?

Both options are excellent. The right choice often boils down to look and how soon you want it to look finished.

Natural zinc guttering will start off bright and metallic, then over time it will eventually weathers to a soft matt grey. No painting. No coatings. No upkeep. It happens naturally over time and stays consistent across the system. This is made from roll-formed 0.6mm natural zinc, fully recyclable, corrosion-proof, and well suited to both traditional properties and modern architecture.

Quartz zinc guttering gives you that weathered appearance from day one. It has a darker, pre-aged finish that works particularly well on contemporary homes or where you’re matching existing zinc roofing or standing seam systems. It’s joined using sealant rather than solder and is popular on projects where visual consistency matters immediately.

Both systems are supplied on next day delivery, which is rare for zinc - and genuinely useful if you’re working to a tight programme.

Why This Zinc Guttering Is A Great Buy

Here are a few reasons why the zinc gutters and downpipes we supply are favoured by homeowners, architects and developers:

• It’s unaffected by corrosion and doesn’t rust or rot

• Very little maintenance over its lifetime — no repainting, no brittle failures

• Zinc naturally acts as a poison to moss and algae, reducing build-up and cleaning

• It is fully recyclable, with a low environmental impact

• Quiet in heavy rain compared to plastic

• Compatible with spruce, oak, chestnut, red cedar, Douglas fir and other low-PH timbers

It also lasts. Decades, realistically. This is why buying zinc guttering often ends up being “cheaper” than plastic once replacements and maintenance are factored in.

Installation of Zinc Guttering

Zinc guttering is straightforward to install if you follow the system rules. The gutters we supply come in 3m lengths, making handling and alignment easier, and brackets should be positioned at 915mm centres (three per length). Once installed, zinc stays stable — minimal movement, no warping, no surprises.

If you’re unsure about quantities or layouts when buying, we can help with take-offs before you order. That usually saves time, money, and awkward returns. Email us: info@tradewarehouse.co.uk
