Its key benefit is providing a clean, weather-tight finish to the end of a gutter run, preventing water overflow and protecting building foundations. A potential caveat is that it's specifically for half-round systems, so compatibility with other gutter profiles should be confirmed.

FAQs

What is an external stopend used for?

An external stopend is used to close off the open end of a gutter run, preventing water from spilling over the side and protecting the building's walls and foundations.

Is this stopend suitable for square guttering?

No, this specific stopend is designed exclusively for 112mm *half-round* gutter profiles. Square guttering requires a different type of stopend.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Basic tools are usually sufficient, such as a measuring tape, sealant gun, and potentially a soft mallet for gentle fitting. Rivets or screws might be used for added security, requiring a drill or screwdriver.

How much sealant should I use?

Apply a continuous bead of appropriate gutter sealant around the inside rim of the stopend or the outer edge of the gutter end. Ensure complete coverage for a watertight seal. Refer to the sealant manufacturer's instructions for best results.

What is the warranty on this FloPlast product?

FloPlast typically offers a warranty on their uPVC products, often around 10 years. Please refer to the specific product packaging or FloPlast's official website for the most accurate warranty details.

Can I paint this anthracite grey stopend?

While the anthracite grey finish is designed to be durable, painting is generally not recommended as it may void the warranty and could affect the material's performance. If painting is essential, use a paint specifically formulated for uPVC and test in an inconspicuous area first.

How often should I clean my gutters and stopends?

It is recommended to clean your gutters and stopends at least twice a year, typically in late spring and late autumn, to remove debris that can cause blockages and overflow.

Troubleshooting

Stopend does not fit snugly onto the gutter.

Verify that you are using a 112mm half-round gutter. Ensure no debris is obstructing the gutter end or the inside of the stopend. If the gutter is slightly deformed, carefully reshape it before fitting.

Leak detected at the stopend after installation.

Check that sufficient sealant was applied and that it cured properly. If leaking persists, remove the stopend, clean both surfaces thoroughly, reapply sealant, and refit, ensuring even pressure.

Finish appears faded or damaged.

This product has a durable finish, but extreme exposure or abrasive cleaning could cause damage. For minor scuffs, check if a color-matched touch-up paint is available. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the end of the 112mm half-round gutter is clean and dry.
  2. Apply a suitable gutter sealant (recommended by FloPlast or a universal exterior-grade sealant) around the inside edge of the stopend or the outside of the gutter end.
  3. Firmly push the stopend onto the end of the gutter, ensuring a snug fit.
  4. If required, secure with rivets or screws through the pre-drilled holes (if applicable) or as per manufacturer's installation guide.
  5. Allow sealant to cure fully before exposing to heavy rain.

Compatibility:

  • This stopend is exclusively designed for use with 112mm half-round gutter systems.
  • Ensure your existing guttering is FloPlast or has identical dimensions and profile for a guaranteed fit.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the gutter and stopend to remove debris like leaves and moss, which can cause blockages and reduce system efficiency.
  • Use a soft brush and water for routine cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
