Glueing guttering to EPDM

[matlob]

Hi all
I have an EPDM roof and want to glue some guttering to it.
Whats the best product to use for this? Need something to gun on quite thick

Thanks in advance

Fixing gutters with glue? I can't foresee that lasting long due to the high expansion of the plastic material in full sun.

You normally finish Epdm with a gutter trim .

Sorry, wasn't clear
There is a pitched roof to flat roof and instead of letting the water run off the pitch onto the flat roof was going to add a gutter. This would look better (it will match up with other side) and help keep the roof cleaner.
So in affect 'd be sticking the gutter down as if I had placed it on top of the flat roof. No room for brackets unfortunately

Using square line gutter? Drill top edge and fix to facia above flat roof.

I'd be very careful. From what you describe you have only a tiny gap between the pitched roof and the EPDM

Whilst your idea might work in principle, I'd be very nervous about water splashing in heavy rain back up underneath the tiles.

A picture would be really helpful and an idea of how much you have to play with.

Would need to be a round gutter

There isn't a facia. The tiles come down to the flat roof but enough room to curl the gutter under them. May be able to wege it somehow but would prefer to stick it somehow so it's done

Thanks Tet

The EPDM goes about 700mm up under the pitch so it will come back down. I may just try and wedge it somehow so if any water gets back there it can come out

Does it drain perpendicular to the tile run. i.e. the water hits the EPDM and then goes right/left?

If so then you could just build a mini berm on top of the EPDM to make a sort of EPDM gutter

Idea #2 - what about some zinc roofing? - wider and lower profile than the gutter

Tet

Edit - 700mm ? that is quite an overhang!!

Eh, WTF? Why?
