Hi,
My Mum has an ex-council house, about 50 yrs old. It has concrete gutters with cast iron downpipes.
The gutters are this shape:
House wall, roof sloping into gutter, Gutters have a flat base

The gutters are made of lengths of pre cast concrete about 4ftlong with mortar joints. Some joints are now leaking, causing damp which comes through to the internal walls of the bedrooms.
About 10 yrs ago the council put a liner in the gutters of the council-owned houses, it looks like a continuous alloy strip shaped to match the internal profile of the gutter. Does anyone know what that might be and where I could get some?
She's had several attempts to fix it, usually involving an odd job man trying to seal the joints with something.
The latest quote is £195 from a builder who will clean out the gutters front and back, (that’s about 40ft length in total) and use something called Flashbond. Would that do the job?
