FAQ : HOW TO?
Do you glue the liner down ?
Yes.
How much glue do I need per metre ?
10mm wide Bead in a Castle pattern-200mm apart, so about 1 300ml tube every 4-5m
What type of glue do I use?
Roof and gutter silicone.
Do I use glue around Downpipe and overflows?
Yes ,we use Silicone to seal around Downpipes as flexible and UV tough.
Our easy to install leak repair patches are for leaking joins & corners. The corners of gutters (even when new) constantly leak and drip. It is a simple job to silicon the patch into the existing gutter to eliminate these leaks, for a long-term repair.
Available as a kit or purchase just the patches.
Sealing around downpipes with Silicon then cut out to suit outlet
You can leave the brackets in place by notching the liner around the brackets. This however will lower the flood level of the gutter. For this reason it is preferred that brackets be removed and then placed back in.
With a tiled roof it is easy to remove the brackets, just slide the tile back. With an iron roof it is a more difficult process raising the iron sheets to access the brackets.
If your gutters are prone to flooding due to poor maintenance ,under-sized downpipes or blocked stormwater pipes then you will need to silicon under the lip of the gutter to seal
