Our conservatory guttering leaks and is proving to be a bit of a nightmare to sort out. It's a long story, they don't make this type anymore apparently but access to one side is severely limited so a straight replacement isn't easy either.

I'm wondering if maybe I can get hold of some parts if I know what I'm dealing with... ?

Any help is gratefully received, thanks.

Ogee style ( there are several depending on manufacturer).

Yeah, I've found a few like it, got a friendly builder popping over tomorrow to help me try to find a product code.

What did you do in the end with this? I've got the same guttering by the looks of it (marshall tufflex) and the same problem. Hoping to just change the rubber seals as the rest of it seems fine.

Gutter cleaning and repair chap here!

That's called an ogee style gutter. You won't get it in a diy place like B&Q but you can get parts online. They're very common on conservatories and it's common that the ends droop at the corner when the rubbers go. Another issue is that the small clips that hold the gutter to the conny roof snap too. You can spot them as they cross the trough every 2 foot or do depending on the installer. If you go the new rubbers route spray a dab of silicone lubricant on the rubbers - helps keep them supple so they glide over the plastic when they expand in the morning sun.

The clips are more difficult to get hold of but they're cheap so once you find a good supplier i'd order a nice handful and keep them in the shed. You'll always have spares then.

Thanks Dale. Yeah I’ve had all the guttering off to give it a proper clean so I know which clips you mean. Fortunately they’re all in one piece and it’s just the seals that are the problem.

Is there a universal seal you tend to go for? The issue I’m having is there are various different profiles of the ogee and not sure if all of them will fit (I’m guessing not!). They don’t make the brand I’ve got anymore (Marshall tufflex) so it’s a bit of a struggle.
