Plastic into cast iron gutter advice

[Crediblehippo]

Afternoon all

Had my gutters done not too long ago and this particular point keeps leaking. It’s been fixed a couple of times with sealant but fails again when the seasons change, assume due to temperature change. I’m looking for a more permanent solution, is there a union I can buy specifically? Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

it would never have joined correctly. one is cast alloy maybe the new one is too? and different sizes

you wont buy a joiner for that but a good metal shop could make you one.

shame to mess up the decorative corbeling .

One on the left is plastic and right is cast iron (or alloy?). So it needs a bespoke metal join does it? I won’t be able to find a plastic one?

Would anyone advise putting a bolt through the join to tighten it up?

you'll need to pack the joint with putty first, its unlikely there will be enough movement to allow this

you'll struggle, if you had a piece of the original alloy gutter then you might be able to get a joiner made up

Is that linseed oil putty?
