The installation process begins with a detailed plan, involving precise roof edge measurements and optimal downpipe placement for efficient drainage.
In the UK, where heavy rainfall is common, this planning is crucial.
Next, gather necessary tools and materials, including a ladder, safety equipment, gutter brackets, and cast iron gutters.
Install by attaching brackets to the fascia board at pre-determined intervals, ensuring they are level.
Mount the gutters, aligning them with a slight gradient for water flow. Seal joints meticulously to prevent leaks. Install downpipes, directing water away from the foundations.
Finally, inspect and adjust to ensure a secure, leak-free system.
