How to fix a leaking plastic gutter

[walterdennisclark]

Thank you. This was very valuable. I did not know, or didn't remember that there were rubber gaskets and that you can buy just those.

Hi, I'm also an handyman and it's great you put these video's on for people to watch and learn, I even find the tips great, as I don't know everything, so a great reference for me, keep up the good work.

Where do you buy those rubber seals for inside the joiner pieces? Thanks.

sorry to sound like a killjoy but I clean and repair gutters for a living and the problem isn't really the joints. it's that the gutters are often badly fitted and hold way too much water causing leaks at unions etc. I've bought brand new gaskets for the joints and they still leak due to the weight of the water. a gutter should be dry within minutes of rain stopping. Just like when you pull plug from a bath or sink. it empties. guttering should do the same but you will find section with inches of water in them. this means another part of the gutter is inches higher. I had to drop a downpipe/running outlet 3" on some flats which were only 10 years old. the gutters were full to brim despite numerous new gaskets and plenty silicon being applied. as soon as the run is sorted the leaks aren't an issue

Is there a fitting to join half round to square or other moulds incase neibouring houses have different gutters

Have you ever super glued them into union as a permanent seal I got a cut mine and connect into a shared gutter gonna cut it on my side they will have to have there's done at a later stage I don't want then nocking seal out when they connect because next door allways gets wan...rs to do jobs just your view on glueing and replace full union if seals ever go

You do not mention that most clips are very hard to remove from old plastic guttering.
I have never come across one that just unclips that easy!

Informative video. I have 20 year old pvc guttering which is made by Hepworth but the joints, downpipes and stipends are made by Marley. Quite a few joints are leaking. Would this be due to mixing and matching or age?

Thanks for the video. Any tips for doing this from a ladder as scaffolding to fix a gutter joint is going to cost a fortune

Hai there. How about if its metal gutter? Do i use the samemethod too?

[JessAgs-nd]

So we explained anyone can do it, thank you so much 🎉

[andytraverse]

useful but given that plastic gutters come in different sizes and shapes, how many different types of gasket will there be to choose from?

[sweetvuvuzela]

If your tight shops shut or cannot get the gaskets get some silicone grease and apply to the gasket it works

Hi, need some advise on repairing a leaking joint between a metal gutter and a plastic gutter. What kind of gasket i will need for that thanks

[Peaches]

r you anywhere near peterborough ... cos that's exactly the problem i have and the first quote has come in at around £700 ... there was talk of removing the first 2 rows of roof tiles and replacing the whole guttering etc etc etc .... i don't know who to ask and my bank account is getting fearful! haha

[stevo]

The problem isn't the guttering, it's having a stable and safe ladder to stand on.

When are you uploading a video again? I enjoy watching them!

Hi, are these gaskets universal for all PVC guttering? Thanks in advance 🙂
