The gutters are rectangular section metal 125mm wide and 60mm deep. It is important to replace like with like, though it may not be possible to match the exact dimensions. Please do not use plastic gutters!
The downpipe is a single length of metal pipe with no joins. It is parallel to the wall all the way down: this is very important.
Clanfield Gutter Repairs of Oxford replaced gutters at number 7 and several other houses: www.gutter-repairs.co.uk
Southern Guttering of Bourne End did number 10: https://www.southernguttersystems.co.uk/
Modern gutters are likely to be powder-coated rather than painted. They should be black.
Getting a long single length of downpipe is likely to be difficult. Some companies do make downpipes with smooth joints though:
- Guttercrest Round Smoothline Aluminium downpipe. This can be powder-coated in our BS colour (12 B 21). Order from Grant&Stone in Maidenhead. We used this at #2: they can’t supply the whole length as a single piece but it is possible to conceal the joint in a pipe-clip.
-
Alumasc Flushjoint Circular Extruded Aluminium Downpipe. This can be powder-coated but they don’t obviously offer our colour. Either get a close colour and paint over it, or get “Mill Finish” (unpainted).
- Alutec 76mm flush-fit circular downpipe.
