Guttering installed too low?

[Tonystrauther]

Hi all, I’ve just had a reroof, new fascia’s and guttering fitted. Everything on the roof looks ok but I’m not so sure about the guttering, is it normal to be so low down from the roofline? I’ve asked the roofer and he says there are low spots to account for the drops to the down pipes. Even so I can’t see anyone else on the street with such low guttering. Any experts wish to give me a second opinion? Thanks

Last pics , corner looks lower than outlet ? Certainly not level .

Lower than it need be and not ideal .

I cant see any eaves undertrays either. Looks too low.

I'm not a roofer but it looks like the bottom hip tiles are not allowing the guttering to be installed higher.

 

[datarebal]

It will go higher .

Thanks for replies, do you think this is acceptable or should I ask for it to be changed? does anyone know if there is a max distance you should have between slates and gutters?

They have used a block end hip tile on a slate roof. These are designed for a thicker profile tile.
Options , trim the tail down or change the bottom hip . Then fit the gutter

Yep and they have used the thinnest tile on the market

guttering is definitely too low.

As previously stated, they have set it out as high as the blockend hip will allow. Trim the bottom of the hip and adjust 50mm higher.

Thanks all, how much do you think it should cost to lift it?, I’m going to ask someone else to do it

 

[datarebal]

Can't see how much there is .. bit it should be inexpensive

Guttering is not meant to be level, it should have slight slope towards the outlet, so it helps to self clean. Some installer install with no slope, others with too much slope.

Yep, very thin - what tiles did they specify they would use?
