Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How can I place an order?

Ans. Select Product  required, select finish required, select quantity. Click on the “Add to Cart” button located on the product page and follow the simple step-by-step instructions. When you have repeated this for all the products required, proceed to checkout and complete your order from there.

Q. What Does RAL9017 mean when I select the colour option?

Ans. RAL numbers are colour codings. The full list is available by clicking the tab 'Colour Chart' - there are 16 standard colours available for Aluminium products but only one for cast Iron. Additional colours can be requested by e-mail but there may be an additional charge.

Q. How do I seal the Gutter joints ?

Ans. Use Dow Corning 791 Silicon Sealant. Click on 'Sundry items' and select the colour and quantity that you require.

Q. I am not sure that I have ordered all the parts that I need. What should I do?

Ans. If you are replacing an existing system, count the individual parts, confirm angles and sizes and recheck. If you are going off plan re-check building measurements and check for plinths and drain positions. If you are still unsure, please call for assistance on Freephone 08000966196

Q. How long will the gutter last?

Ans. Cast Iron Rainwater systems should last at least 40 years if maintained correctly, by painting and keeping the gutters clear from leaves and debris. Cast Aluminium Rainwater systems in an unpainted (Mill) finish should last for at least 25 years, if gutters are kept clear, and for at least 40 years if a Polyester Powder coated (Coloured) finish is applied.

Q. What difference does size make?

Ans. The profile and capacity of the Gutter and pipework selected should be sufficient to take water from roofline to drain. If you are unsure about the flow capacity of your Roof system, please contact us and we will arrange for the manufacturers to calculate what you need from the dimensions you provide.
