i have a bay window and some of the guttering around it is cracked, i asked a double glazing compay that was doing some other work for me to replace all the guttering and the soffits wich are all plastic not wood and they say they have a problem doing it as there are lots of joins due to the angle of the bay and they are welded and they dont know where to get them as they dont do them.
so does anyone know where i can go for help please

Welded joints on the gutters or soffit?

You get jointing strips for the soffit
plate.
 
I have done this on a bay window with quadrant corners I made a template for bay then took it to a local firm who specialise in arched pvc window manufacture and they welded up all the pieces and I fitted it still works fine and looks good but this is Grimsby so don't know if anyone does it near you

thanks for all your help everyone.

and in answer to the first question gutters not soffits
 
Our suppliers do angles for 5 sided bays I think they are 6 quid plus vat each plus postage. 01213112666 plastics depot birmingham
 
I used to manufacture conservatories and I'd always do the welded gutters, you can make a lot of combinations by cutting the right parts at the right angles, if you know the angle of the bend required it's quite easy to work out the angle you need to cut two pieces at. I used to nip next door where they manufactured window frames and use one of their hot plates to weld the pieces together. Obviously not as easy for you but all I'm saying is that it is possible
 
thanks for your advice wish i could find someone near me who could do this.
but thanks for your help.
