guttering

Neighbour replaced the guttering at the front of his house, and when it rained heavily, water dripped down on to the brick party wall below, at the guttering join. He said he would fix it. Be careful what you wish for! Rainwater now drips onto just our side of the brick wall below, through a...

I’m planning to install an en-suite and the new waste pipe can go into the combined drainage by utilising the existing rainwater Down pipe. As such I need to move the existing rainwater down pipe. Can I move the down pipe from its existing location to the far side (green line in picture) and...

Not sure if this should be in guttering or gardens but looking for some advice! I have a small front garden - 2m from house to boundary wall. I've been doing some landscaping work involving digging up the old broken concrete paths round the house and discovered that the rainwater downpipe was...

Hi All, I'm looking to protect my front elevation fascia board from elements with Upvc 9mm cladding. As you can see in the photo water drops can run from the render onto the fascia board at this specific location. Im looking to create a "lip" or "bridge" from the render to the gutter. It's...

Hello all. I recently had a roofer come out to look at my leaking guttering. When he came he showed me the downpipe was full of water and some moss etc. He kindly cleared it out for me but had told me that the downpipe just discharges to just under the blocks on my block paving. He showed me...

Hi All, I'm a first-time poster here and just about to buy my first house. One of the properties I am looking at seems pretty ideal for us but does have some issues with some broken floorboards (which I know I can fix relatively quickly) and some other minor issues; one problem I have come...

Hi all I want to replace a piece of guttering as it’s leaking and I think it was cut too short but I can’t find any replacements that are the same shape as mine. Can anyone help?

Hi all, hoping for some help. So my neighbour has just built a porch that extends out from his house and today they have put the guttering up and they want to run the pipe down the house over the wall and into our shared drain. No we share the rain water from the main roofs into our gully at...

Hi all, My dad lives in a semi-detached house with the shared down pipe being on his neighbours property. The neighbours did a loft extension and remodelling of their house and during this time they have drilled into my dads property and moved the down pipe to his side without asking...

Hey, not sure if this was the correct place to ask this, but I've noticed that our neighbors guttering let's out over our roof just above the down pipe for our guttering. Is that legal? I only ask as with heavy rain recently we've had water coming in through the window and frame just where our...

Hi, Thanks for reading. I live in an end terrace of four houses. The only downpipe for the whole terrace is down the front of our house, and it discharges into the street just in front of our house. It was built in 1870ish. we had our knackered guttering replaced about a year ago. Next door’s...

Hi We have had a single storey extension built and the guttering from that connects to our neighbours downpipe which then goes in a underground system. We live in terrace house and have never had a downpipe on our side, our original guttering connects to our other neighbours downpipe. Is it OK...

Our roof valley is quite steep and water overshoots the guttering, builder says it’s ok, I’m worried about damp issues, what can be done to remedy?! Will post pics in daylight

Hello could anyone help me on some guttering design. I have attached an image: (1) Do you agree that its best to run this gutter away from the valley? (a) If i run away from the valley should I drop onto the sloped roof below or take the downpipe all the way to the gulley pot? (b) or should...

Hi There, Our neighbours adjoined wall on a semi-detached property, just had their loft conversion done. They ‘didn’t want’ a downpipe on their side as it would ‘ruin the look’ of their half... Now the whole of their new flat roof along the house flows into our gutter and our down pipe and...

Good evening, I have recently moved into a 1960s bungalow with a dormer. We started to get leaks in the living room after a couple of weeks of moving in. You can clearly see the history of botch jobs to hide the leaks and damage to the ceiling boards. The finlock guttering sags outside the...

Hi Guys I'm looking for some advice on how best to add guttering to my bay window. I've put up with it just dripping on to my window sills and then onto the concrete below for years, but a combination of heavy rain, me working under it and a concern of wet walls, has made me rethink. I was...

hi, With the current downpours my bay window roof is leaking. I noticed the dead end of the gutter looked dropped so I propped it up, but its still leaking. Theres maybe 1 and 1/2 inch gap under the gutter,looks like just plywood under there, I wonder if thats the problem, or something else ...

Hi, my neighbour is having an extension done. We have a semi detached property with shared guttering. The down pipe from the guttering used to go straight down in to my neighbours garden in to the gutter drain which was in their garden. They are now extending the house where the gutter drain is...

We recently moved into an old terraced house (c. 1895) with a small front yard. We've just pruned back a large rosebush to find that the guttering downpipe has rusted away and separated from the section that goes underground. I had actually noticed a bit of rainwater getting in to the crawlspace...
