FAQs
What is the main purpose of this gutter kit?
This gutter kit is designed to protect smaller roof structures, like sheds, by safely directing rainwater away from the building's foundation and walls.
What material is the gutter system made from?
The gutter system is manufactured from durable steel with a graphite grey finish.
Is this kit suitable for very large buildings?
This kit is specifically designed for smaller roof structures and outbuildings. For larger buildings, a more extensive or differently sized gutter system may be required.
What components are included in the pack?
The pack includes a steel gutter length, fascia brackets, a running outlet, external stopends, a steel downpipe, downpipe offset bends, and downpipe clips.
How often should I clean the gutters?
It is recommended to clean the gutters and downpipes regularly, especially after periods of heavy leaf fall or debris, to ensure efficient water flow and prevent blockages.
Can this steel gutter system rust?
While steel is durable, it is important to maintain the protective finish and clear debris to prevent potential corrosion over extended periods of neglect.
What is the color of the gutter system?
The gutter system comes in a modern graphite grey finish.
Troubleshooting
Gutter is overflowing
Check for blockages in the gutter, running outlet, or downpipe. Ensure the gutter has a slight, consistent fall towards the running outlet. Verify that brackets are securely fastened and the gutter is not sagging.
Water is leaking at joints
Ensure all connections are properly seated and secured. If using sealants (not included in the basic kit but may be required for some joints), check for adequate application. Inspect components for damage that may prevent a tight seal.
Downpipe is blocked
Carefully clear any debris from the downpipe and offset bends. A drain snake or plumber's rod can be useful for dislodging stubborn blockages. Ensure leaf guards are in place at the top of the downpipe if applicable.
Brackets appear loose
Tighten the screws securing the fascia brackets to the fascia board. Ensure the fascia board itself is sound and provides a secure fixing point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure all components are present before installation. The fascia brackets should be securely fixed to the fascia board at appropriate intervals (recommended spacing is typically around 600-800mm, but refer to manufacturer guidelines if available) to support the gutter length. The gutter length should have a slight fall towards the running outlet. Connect the downpipe to the running outlet using the offset bends as needed, and secure the downpipe to the wall using the provided clips.
Compatibility: This system is designed for pent-style roofs on smaller structures. The 120mm gutter and 87mm downpipe sizes are standard for many shed and outbuilding applications. It is intended for use with other components within the Galeco steel gutter range.
Care: To maintain the appearance and function, regularly clear the gutters and downpipes of leaves, debris, and other obstructions. Use a soft brush or damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the graphite grey finish. Periodically check that brackets and clips remain secure.
