FAQs

What is the recommended slope for installation?

A fall of between 1 in 600 (17mm in a 10m run) and 1 in 350 (30mm in a 10m run) is recommended for optimal water flow.

Can this gutter system be used for very large buildings?

This kit is designed for residential and light commercial buildings. For larger structures, a higher capacity system might be more appropriate.

How do I cut the steel gutter lengths?

Steel gutters can be cut using a metal chop saw with an appropriate blade, or a hacksaw for smaller adjustments. Always wear safety glasses.

Does the kit include downpipes?

This kit includes gutter lengths, brackets, stopends, and an outlet, but not the downpipes themselves. These would need to be purchased separately to connect to the outlet.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly clear debris from the gutters and outlets. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Inspect fixings annually.

What is the benefit of the balloon outlet leaf guard?

The leaf guard helps prevent larger debris like leaves and twigs from entering the outlet and blocking the downpipe, reducing the risk of blockages and overflow.

Is the graphite grey color standard or available in other options?

This specific kit is in Graphite Grey. Other colors or finishes may be available for individual components or different product lines from Galeco.

Troubleshooting

Gutter is not draining effectively

Check that the recommended slope (1 in 600 to 1 in 350) has been applied correctly during installation. Ensure outlets and downpipes are not blocked by debris.

Water is leaking at joints

Ensure all jointing methods (e.g., sealants, connectors) are correctly applied and fully cured. Check if any protective film was left on surfaces that should be sealed.

Fascia brackets appear loose

Re-secure the brackets to the fascia board using appropriate screws. Ensure the fascia board itself is structurally sound.

Protective film is difficult to remove

Gently warm the film with a hairdryer on a low setting and peel slowly. Avoid using sharp objects that could scratch the steel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High durability and long lifespan due to galvanized steel.
  • Excellent corrosion resistance in various weather conditions.
  • Complete kit simplifies purchasing and ensures all necessary components are included.
  • Lightweight material makes installation more manageable.
  • Professional aesthetic enhances building appearance.

Cons

  • Requires a recommended slope for optimal drainage.
  • Steel may be susceptible to scratching during installation if not handled carefully.
  • Might be heavier than plastic alternatives for very large projects.
  • Requires specific tools for cutting and joining steel gutters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installation, ensure all components are present and inspect for any damage. Remove the protective film from the steel gutters just prior to fitting. Install the fascia brackets at appropriate intervals, ensuring they are securely fixed to the fascia board. For optimal performance, a slight slope of 1 in 600 to 1 in 350 should be incorporated. Connect gutter lengths using appropriate connectors (not explicitly detailed in kit but standard for steel gutters) and attach stopends and the outlet. Connect the outlet to your existing downpipe system.

Compatibility: This 120mm system is designed for standard roofline dimensions. It is compatible with Galeco downpipes and connectors of the same diameter and material. It is suitable for use on residential extensions, refurbishments, and new build projects.

Care: Periodically clear debris from the gutters and outlets to prevent blockages. Clean the exterior of the gutters with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage the protective coating. Inspect brackets and fixings annually to ensure they remain secure.
