guttering keeps falling off

[helptavner]

at the front of our house, i keep pushing it back on,

do you think best to seal it with plumbers putty or a spot of silicon?

thanks

the brackets should clip over the guttering
new brackets if they are broken

Yep as mentioned it the clips that go round the lip of the gutter. they can snap off with age and best replaced.

it keeps coming off at the top as the joint slopes down 90 degree bend? (all new brackets and facias/guttering)

Do you mean the down pipe brackets? if so you can put a small screw to hold them together. Put in into the top half where the water doesn't run.

PS Give that garage door a lick of white paint.

the garge is now white! and all new facias/windows etc

i have had a thought after talking to someone in the office, i think best idea might be to put some duct tape around the pipe as it keeps coming out of the 90 degree bend joint (before it goes down the side of the property) this should make the fitting tigher (i hope)

obviously gravity isnt helping matters thanks all!!

Tape will look horrible, just put a small screw through the joint as already suggested. This is the proper way.

i could put a screw in the side of it and im sure that would hold it - duct tape you would never see it as the joint is bigger than the pipe it self - would just make the joint tigher (thats the plan)
