Troubleshooting

Gutter is not draining effectively

Check if the gutter has been installed with the recommended fall (1 in 600 to 1 in 350) towards the outlet. Ensure the outlet and downpipe are not blocked.

Components do not fit together

Verify that all components are from the same Galeco Steel Half Round Gutter system (135mm diameter). Ensure no protective film or debris is obstructing the connection points.

Water leaking at joints

Ensure joints are properly sealed according to manufacturer instructions. Check for any damage to the sealing surfaces or components.

Copper effect finish appears dull

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. If the finish is damaged, professional assessment may be needed.
