Hi All,

I've got the Brett martin square profile gutter around my property. It's 114mm in width I believe. Because my neighbours extension is next to mine, I've not been able to extend the gutter all the way back. This picture shows you where it stops.

There's around another 1.5 metres back from here where there is no gutter. This picture shows you the very narrow gap between the two properties and the area I am referring to.

The neighbour would like me to extend the gutter in this space.

I feel as though I can squeeze this in the space but may have to use solvent for the brackets. I'm unsure on how I connect this into the existing square gutter.

I would appreciate your assistance with this.

Miniflo gutter only takes a bit of muck and it blocks. Can't you just stick a few eaves trays under your tiles so it leads into his gutter?
 
that's a brilliant solution but I know it's one she won't be comfortable with. This has every aspect to become one of those neighbourly disputes and I just want to nip it in the bud.

It's a very practical solution though. Any other suggestions?
 
I desperately need some suggestions on this please. Thanks a bunch!

How much higher is their gutter than yours? Can you not extend the square gutter underneath theirs so they run parallel but yours is lower?
 
if I put my square gutter lower than theirs, it definitely won't line up with the existing gutter run.and this existing gutter run wraps around the front of the extension too
 
Could you take her gutter off while you screw your new brackets into your facias?

Looks like you could do it with a stubby screwdriver from the roof.
 
I'd just keep your gutter stopped where it is then. Put some new gutter on your fascia lower than hers and just have a pipe coming down and running along the floor somewhere
 
Thanks or these responses guys. I was wondering if there are any advances on the suggestion of fitting a gutter lower than my neighbours and then having a downpipe leading to the floor somewhere? Thanks again.
