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. You will need:
2 off RW2S/1P Round 75mm downpipe 3m
2 off RW2/16P (or possibly /17P – you need to measure the distance from wall to pipe) 75mm pipe clip
Possibly also a 75m connector RW2/12P to make the link to the drain at the bottom.
See the last few photos in the #2 roofing album for how all this fits together. -
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.
