Fix That Leaking Gutter!
Annoying gutter leak? Sealants and mastics will only delay the inevitable, so follow our 2 minute guide showing how to replace the offending joint.
If you have a leak in your gutter system, it’s most likely that it is coming from the rubber seal on the fittings.
- Remove the leaking union using a drill. You may have to pull back the roofing felt to give you access to the screws.
- Before fixing the new union, familiarise yourself with the insertion marks, located on the inside of the new fitting.
- When attaching the new union, make sure the roofing felt is not tucked behind the new fitting. Position the union in line with the old holes and use a drill to secure it in place.
- To install the new piece of guttering, insert the back edge first, up under the roofing tile. Then, spin the gutter back down in to position.
- Line up insertion marks in the fittings then pull the gutter down. The clips click into place and should secure the gutter.
