Troubleshooting

Gutter is leaking at joints

Ensure that the Polypipe connectors are correctly fitted and sealed. Reapply solvent cement or sealant if necessary, following manufacturer instructions.

Water is overflowing from the gutter

Check for blockages in the gutter or downpipe. Ensure the gutter has a sufficient fall towards the outlet. Verify that the downpipe outlet is adequate for the system's capacity.

Brackets seem loose or are not holding the gutter securely

Ensure brackets are firmly attached to the fascia board. If the fascia is soft or damaged, consider reinforcing it before reattaching the brackets.

The white finish appears discolored

Clean the gutter with a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive PVCu cleaner may be used cautiously. Avoid harsh chemicals.
