    Overflowing gutter corner

    My chalet bungalow suffers badly from overflowing gutter corners during cloud bursts, due to rain flowing down the valleys. The guttering is conventional semi-circular plastic which has been reasonably well laid and I see little chance of improving this. Is anyone aware of an easy solution to...

    Side return guttering and maintenance

    Hi, I'm hoping to have a single storey side return extension built on our terraced house. We hope to build along the party wall line but I'm struggling to figure out how the guttering will work without hanging over our neighbours land. I assume a box gutter on top of the wall may be a solution...

    Is a 110mm Downpipe going to be enough for 5 houses?

    I'm having quite regular overflowing of my gutters onto the front of my house (picture on the left) and my bay window (last night it was like Niagara falls!) and I think the main reasons is that there are 5 Terrence houses 30 meters long (about 215²m) running into my 1 x 50mm (or 68mm?)...

    Advice needed before hiring a roofer...

    Hi Not sure if anyone on here can help but we need a roofer to do several repairs to our 1912 mid terrace with a valley. It had a new roof put in roughly 16 years ago with a Velux window. The main problems are: a long horizontal damp patch along the landing ceiling that separates the landing...

    Rainwater drainage

    My house is mid-terrace. There are gutter downpipes every two houses, so 1 downpipe is shared by two houses. My rear garden slopes towards the house and slightly to the left where the downpipe joins the gully. So it looks like the slope is on purpose or in any case useful at directing rain water...
