I have a very bad leak from a new gutter joint which I can’t seem to stop however hard I try.

Hi Kevin, We find a lot of leaks at gutter unions are down to the actual gutters not being carried to the marker point on the union. in a lot of instances, the end of the gutter only just passes the rubber seal and this proves to be the problem. Also check the seals are not mis-aligned.

Take fitting apart, ensure there is a rubber in the fitting to seal against the gutter. If not replace fitting. Only other possibility is the fitting is the wrong profile
