If you are replacing an existing system, count the individual parts, confirm angles and sizes and recheck. If you are going off plan, re-check building measurements and check for plinths and drain positions. If you are still unsure, please call for assistance on Freephone 08000966196

All guttering is effected by weather and environment, particularly in coastal areas. Cast Iron Rainwater systems should last at least 40 years if maintained correctly, by painting and keeping the gutters clear from leaves and debris. In non coastal areas, Cast Aluminium Rainwater systems in an unpainted (Mill) finish should last for at least 25 years, if gutters are kept clear, and for at least 40 years if a Polyester Powder coated (Coloured) finish is applied. An additional coat of powder coating can be applied for an extra charge.

The profile and capacity of the Gutter and pipework selected should be sufficient to take water from roofline to drain. If you are unsure about the flow capacity of your Roof system, please contact us and we will arrange for a flow calculation based on the dimensions you provide.
