Replacing cabin guttering

[Fender Stratoplaster]

Hello,

I've never done any guttering before myself, but was thinking I might be able to tackle the problem I am having with my garden cabin - when the guttering was previously installed either it wasn't done properly or the flex of the cabin caused it to warp... I'm thinking probably just that it was too long a piece , but anyhow where it has buckled outward, water is now being dripped onto the exterior wall of the cabin and leaking through

I'm planning to repaint the outside to provide a better seal, but also need to sort out the issue with the guttering

Can anyone tell me what I will probably need to get in materials wise and any tips or things to look out for?

Its about a 12 foot section of guttering and as you can see the clips are already there as it has been installed and mounted in place, should it just be a case of just removing the old section and dropping the new one on? I know there needs to be a flow - so the water can trickle away and doesnt sit and become stagnant etc.

I was half thinking of getting someone in to do it but as its such a minor job, will probably ending paying way more than its worth and I had enough of cowboys!

Looks like a clip is missing where it has buckled! Get another clip remove the gutter fit the new clip and put the gutter back in the other way round.

Thanks, why does it have to be the other way round?

Easier to pull back into shape if it is reversed.
Check behind the gutter as it looks like something is snagging it preventing it from sitting properly.

Also make sure there is plenty of expansion room at every coupling/fitting.
