FAQs

What material is the gutter kit made from?

The gutter kit is manufactured from high-strength galvanised steel with a black finish.

What is the diameter of the gutter?

The gutter diameter is 135mm.

What components are included in the kit?

The kit includes 5 x Steel Gutter Lengths (3mtr each), 20 x Steel Gutter Fascia Brackets, 2 x Steel Gutter Stopends, 1 x Steel Gutter Outlet, and 1 x Balloon Outlet Leaf Guard.

Can I install this system myself?

Yes, the steel gutter system is designed to be relatively lightweight and easy to handle, making it suitable for installation by a single person with basic DIY skills.

What is the recommended slope for the gutters?

We recommend a fall of between 1 in 600 (17mm in a 10m run) and 1 in 350 (30mm in a 10m run) to ensure efficient water flow.

How long will this steel gutter system last?

Manufactured from high-strength galvanised steel, this system is designed for long-term durability and excellent corrosion resistance, offering a long service life.

How should I clean the steel gutters?

Regularly clear debris with a soft brush or hose. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the finish.

Troubleshooting

Gutter leaks at joints

Ensure connections are firmly seated and sealed. Check for any damage to the connecting ends. Consider using an appropriate sealant if necessary, though the system is designed for friction fit.

Water pooling in the gutter

Verify that the recommended fall (1 in 600 to 1 in 350) has been correctly implemented. Adjust bracket heights if necessary to create a slight downward slope towards the outlet.

Outlet blockage

Ensure the balloon outlet leaf guard is correctly installed and free of debris. Clean out any accumulated leaves or sediment from the outlet pipe.

Protective film is difficult to remove

Gently peel the film from a corner. If it's stubborn, a mild, non-abrasive plastic cleaner or warm soapy water may help, but ensure it's fully dried before installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent long-term durability and corrosion resistance due to galvanised steel construction.
  • Efficient water management with a 135mm half-round profile.
  • Aesthetically pleasing black finish suitable for various building styles.
  • Kit includes all necessary components for a complete installation.
  • Relatively easy to handle and install, suitable for DIY projects.
  • Designed for reliable performance in diverse weather conditions.

Cons

  • Requires careful handling to avoid scratching the protective film before installation.
  • Steel can be more susceptible to denting from sharp impacts compared to some plastics.
  • Installation requires a basic understanding of guttering principles, including slope.
  • May require specialized cutting tools for custom lengths if not provided.
  • The black finish could potentially fade over many years in intense sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure all components are present and undamaged. Remove the protective film just prior to installation.
  2. Bracket Placement: Fix the steel fascia brackets to the fascia board, ensuring the correct spacing and slope (1 in 600 to 1 in 350 fall towards the outlet).
  3. Gutter Sections: Snap the steel gutter lengths into the fascia brackets. Connect sections using the provided outlets or stopends.
  4. Outlet Installation: Secure the steel gutter outlet to the desired position in the gutter run.
  5. Leaf Guard: Install the balloon outlet leaf guard onto the outlet to prevent debris from entering the system.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed as a self-contained system. While individual components can often be integrated with existing systems, it is recommended to use the PBSL Group steel guttering components together for guaranteed compatibility and performance.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clear gutters of leaves and debris to prevent blockages. Use a soft brush or a hose with a gentle spray. Avoid abrasive materials.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the system for any signs of damage or corrosion, especially at joints and fixings.
  • Finish Maintenance: The black finish is durable, but for longevity, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning the exterior.
