FAQs

What material is the gutter kit made from?

The gutter kit is manufactured from high-strength galvanised steel.

What is the recommended slope for installation?

A fall of between 1 in 600 and 1 in 350 is recommended for optimal water flow.

Does the kit include downpipes?

No, this kit includes gutter lengths, fascia brackets, stopends, an outlet, and a leaf guard. Downpipes are typically sold separately.

How do I clean the steel gutters?

Clean the gutters periodically with a soft brush or cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the purpose of the balloon outlet leaf guard?

The leaf guard prevents leaves and larger debris from entering the downpipe, reducing the risk of blockages.

Can this gutter system be used for commercial buildings?

This system is suitable for residential and light commercial buildings.

What should I do before installing the gutter?

All steel gutter components come with a protective film wrapping that must be removed before installation.

Troubleshooting

Gutter is overflowing or not draining properly

Check that the recommended fall (1 in 600 to 1 in 350) has been correctly installed. Ensure the outlet is not blocked by debris. Clear any blockages in the gutter run or leaf guard.

Leaking at joints or stopends

Ensure all connections are securely fitted. If necessary, re-seal joints or stopends using appropriate gutter sealant (sold separately) suitable for steel gutters.

Protective film is difficult to remove or leaving residue

Gently warm the film with a hairdryer on a low setting before peeling. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to remove any adhesive residue. Avoid using sharp objects.

Fascia brackets appear loose

Ensure the screws are fully tightened into the fascia board. If the fascia board is deteriorating, it may need reinforcement or replacement before re-installing the brackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the fascia boards are sound and ready to accept brackets.
  2. Install the fascia brackets at appropriate intervals, following the recommended fall (1 in 600 to 1 in 350). Use the provided screws for secure attachment.
  3. Connect the gutter lengths to the brackets. If joining lengths, ensure a secure fit.
  4. Attach the stopends to the open ends of the gutter run.
  5. Install the outlet where the gutter will connect to the downpipe system.
  6. Fit the balloon outlet leaf guard into the outlet to prevent debris from entering the downpipe.
  7. Remove the protective film wrapping from all steel components before or immediately after installation.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed as a complete system. While it is intended to work with standard downpipe systems, verify connection compatibility with your chosen downpipe diameter and type. It is suitable for residential and light commercial buildings.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the gutters for blockages, especially after heavy leaf fall.
  • Clean out debris from the gutters and leaf guard as needed.
  • Use a soft brush or cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the finish.
  • Check fixings periodically to ensure brackets remain secure.
