    Hi Steve, all you need to do is measure the width and depth and you should be able to get something very similar to what you already have from your local timber merchants, if on a terraced house replace the full length, it will cost you about 90 quid or so to do front and back, paint before fixing and use preservative on the inside, measure and cut to length, nail and seal with gutter type sealent to next doors gutter, if rotten you may have to cut theirs back a few inches ( bare this in mind when buying yours)

    Don't use wood, use plastic - lasts longer, lighter

    It does last longer but if it's a terrace house and all the others are timber it'll stick out like a sore thumb and look cr*p.
