gutter

I'm rebuilding a flat roofed garage and am wondering what the point in fascia boards are here because the rafters don't overhang the wall, instead they finish flush with the edge of the wall. Is there any reason I shouldn't clad right up to the roof line? A rubber roof will be installed with a...

Hi, I'm trying to sort out the back of my terracedhterraced Victorian houseahouse garden. As you can see in the photos, the soil stack ends up just going directly into the ground, where I imagine it bends away from the house and meets the sewage pipe that the neighbours say run horizontally...

So every year we have birds that nest in either the the corner (or thereabouts) of the gutter or the roof. Its starling birds that come every year without fail and nest. I think they must have started coming at some point after 2007 which was when the PVC guttering was installed as I do not...

I’m trying to get to grips with a water damage problem on one side of a 4 storey late Victorian house in London. There’s a flat area - looks like a trough - in front of the sloping roof, so presumably when it rains, all the water goes into there. But from there, how does it drain? There’s no...

Hi, We have a leak coming from the gutter above our orangery. From up close it appears that the gutter has a 1 inch gap and our side has also dropped about 1 inch. The gutter then leaks onto the orangery roof which is a pain as I also work in here ... The leak part can be reached from our...

Hi all just after a bit of advice. Our drain that was used for the guttering downpipe and waste from the washing machine has blocked, but to be able to clear the blockage we had to cut the bottom section of the downpipe (just above the shoe) as it was resting on the metal grid covering the...

I have a metal gutter connecting the house roof tiles to a large veranda and indoor pool area. Rain falls into a zinc gutter in the valley between the two structures. Unfortunately, once in the gutter, the water does not exit properly into the downpipes. There a down pipe at each side of the...

Hello. I need my gutters and downpipes cleaned and I saw that the pros use specialist gutter vacs, which are pretty pricey. However, the specs for the actual vacs don't look any different to the wet/dry vacs that you can get for under £100. Am I missing something? Thanks, Carl

Hi, I hope this is in the right place and someone can help Long story short I am having issues with my neighbour (nothing I started). He has now done something petty. On my out house the rainwater drains in to the gutter and the down pipe has always gone down the back of my outhouse and flows...

Hi, We've just had our soffits, facias and gutters replaced. Previously, the overflow/warning pipes for the central heating header tank and cold water tank for hot water in the loft came out of holes in the facia below the gutter. But for this installation, the installer decided it would look...

Guys I have just moved to a new place and was about to start painting and sealing the gutters and down pipes. The house has a cast rainwater/waste water down pipe (not soil pipe) that has had a section replaced for pvc. The section is one up from the ground. Is this alright? Should it all be...

My chalet bungalow suffers badly from overflowing gutter corners during cloud bursts, due to rain flowing down the valleys. The guttering is conventional semi-circular plastic which has been reasonably well laid and I see little chance of improving this. Is anyone aware of an easy solution to...

Hi, I'm hoping to have a single storey side return extension built on our terraced house. We hope to build along the party wall line but I'm struggling to figure out how the guttering will work without hanging over our neighbours land. I assume a box gutter on top of the wall may be a solution...
