What causes damage to guttering?
Damage can happen to gutters for a number of reasons. Common issues can be: –
- PVC guttering cannot expand and contract in-line with extreme weather conditions and it can lose it’s shape as a result
- Excess weight, as a result of blockages, can cause joints to open and bracket fixings to weaken
- High exposure to ultraviolet light can result in PVC gutters becoming brittle which has the same effect as excess weight
- Traditional cast iron gutters will rust if their paint covering is weathered away or scratched. If left untreated fixings can fail and holes will open
