GUTTER SOLUTIONS

If you are on the lookout for a long-term solution to your gutter problems, then you need to invest in gutter solutions from Foregale.

Existing roof systems can be completely disrupted because of a leaking gutter (or gutters) and the construction industry in England finds itself losing millions each year because of maintenance costs, loss of stock and delays caused by such problems. The main reason that gutters fail and deposit water all over buildings is as a result of joint failure, as well as substrate failure caused by corrosion. However, the climate in England can prove to be quite damaging to buildings and gutters can be destroyed during bad weather – an increasingly common occurrence.

The main purpose of a gutter is to protect the foundations of a building by channelling water away from the base, helping to reduce erosion in the process and also preventing leaks from springing up in crawlspaces and basements. Gutters come in a variety of materials (such as cast iron, lead, zinc, copper, painted steel, galvanised steel, PVC, concrete, wood, stone and painted aluminium), we are able to offer a variety of options here at Foregale, (a selection of examples are shown below). A popular type is using either 1.5mm or 2.0mm Galvanised steel which can be formed in a number of ways and is jointed with butt straps.

A lot of roofs are finished off with the “trimline” gutter system as this gives a much better look to the building. These are generally manufactured from plastisol material, usually the same material as the roof sheets that are fitted. Sometimes these are fitted in a contrasting colour to the roofing/cladding for a better effect.

If a basic gutter solution is all you require then we can also offer an option of a 6” PVC half round gutter range and associated pipes and accessories (all on special order).
