Correct guttering system installation – Dave Osborne, Technical Manager

With over 30 years' experience working in the building products' sector, our Technical Manager, Dave Osborne is a reliable authority with a wealth of practical advice geared at achieving the best results. This time, Dave turns his attention to effective guttering system installation, with some expert advice on achieving the best results regarding both new and replacement projects.

As heavy downpours now occur with increasing regularity, it's wise to never underestimate the importance of installing a well-fitted guttering system on domestic properties and buildings. Correctly fitted around the roof perimeter and securely fastened to the fascias, good quality guttering can be a first line of property defence during rainy periods, guarding against leaks and standing water issues.

By understanding how to choose a system with the appropriate flowrate, and fitting both the guttering and downpipe so the system works cohesively, you'll be rewarded with an installation that will serve to prevent building damage and last for many years to come.
