Hi all looking for a bit of advice. Semi detached property that had seamless aluminium gutter going across both properties. Its not ogee, think its called universal plus.
Anyway neighbour without me knowing changed hers to standard square, whoever fitted it just inserted the square guttering into mine, maybe used silicone, but its leaking like mad now.
Question is is there a reliable transition fitting available?
Thanks in advance
Norton

Thanks it doesnt look right to me, as i would of thought you need to specify left hand or right hand.
Managed to get up the ladders and take a look.
What a bodge.

I think best i can do is end cap on the seamless, end cap on the square line and butt together.

What does your neighbour think of your new bodge?

Not my bodge, my neighbour had scaffold up and got the her gutters fascia etc. Done by a company. I didnt realise at the time what was happening. This is how they left it.
God knows why they just didnt leave the gutter as it was.
Hence why im asking on here for appropriate fittings
 
Thanks yes ive been looking at that and also the aluminium stop end, which may fit the profile better. Im going to take some measurements today to make sure i get the right one.

I think if i cut their gutter and cap it and cap my side so that both the caps butt together, that may be a more permanent solution

Agreed, it the falls mean the water won't pool in the ends. Equally I'd get your neighbours permission before you touch their guttering.

They touched my guttering 1st. Ive had a conversation with them and they agreed to sort it out, as they cut into our shared seamless gutter and this is the result.
Its been 6 weeks now and the dripping is driving me mad

I was just making the point that you're about to cut into their new guttering that they own, and that you would be better off getting express permission before you do anything to their property. Otherwise in a dispute you could be liable to replace what you damage.

The rightness or wrongness of them cutting their original gutter, and the botch job to fix the join, is a different matter.

Why don't you just contact the company that did it and get them to rectify it?

I spoke to neighbour as soon as i realised, her brother did the job for her she said he's coming back to sort. That was 6 weeks ago.
So I'll sort. Guttering not my favourite job im a plumber by trade but never fit the ally seamless stuff
