Hi got some guttering originally installed only 3 years ago July 2021 seems to be failing underneath and at joint to next section.

Any thoughts/ideas why it would have failed so soon or have I just been unlucky

(Trying to get roofervwho installed to replace as think should be covered by guarantee)

Thanks

why do you think the gutter is failing ??
has the level dropped along its length??
are any joints leaking??
looks more like somthing blocked to me not a fault but a maintainance issue
but no expert
 
OP,
Clear daylight can be seen between the gutter & the fascia - thats one thing that might be wrong?
Perhaps the felt is stopping too short of the gutter - perhaps Eaves Protector felt support trays are needed?
As above, fitting connections might be leaking - falls wrong - or a blockage in the gutter or RWP?
A ladder needs raising, & the gutter examined off the ladder - take pics.

Thanks looked to me like water was coming out of the bottom of the gutter and also (last video) drips through the joint to next section. That's why I thought must be failing. There's less of a gap/visible light for the section nearer than further a long

+1. I had that happen years ago when some magpies tore bits off the felt edge. Not sure if they were simply being malicious, or were hunting for bugs :giggle:.
