Leaky guttering

Posted by Andrew Bromage, on
I have a three bedroom detached house with 20 year old white plastic guttering and down pipe, it has for a while now been leaking in about three places and I am wondering how best to cure this.

You could seal the joints with silicone for a quick fix but better in the long run to just replace the whole guttering system with new ones

Hi Andrew if you take the unions off an take the rubber seals out give them a good clean an put new seals in that should do the trick , all that silicone is a temporary fix . Hope that solves it Mark m/s
