See the picture attached. The top of the wall has three stepped layers of brick making a sort of shelf for the gutter to sit on. What's that called? Does it have a name? The house is around 1900 build. 40 years ago there was a wooden gutter with a flat bottom sitting directly on the shelf. (As far as I recall - it was a long time ago.)
It was rotten and was replaced with the plastic gutter in the picture. That's not ideal because the brackets make the gutter sit too high. And it can't cope with a heavy rainstorm.
Don't know what sort of gutter was there originally. I'm thinking of replacing with something with a flat bottom but don't know if it would need brackets to hold it in place.
Any advice would be much appreciated
