38 DRAINAGE & PLUMBING How to stop gutters leaking
THE VERY MENTION OF LEAKING GUTTERS CAN BE ENOUGH TO SEND SHIVERS DOWN THE SPINES OF ARCHITECTS, SPECIFIERS, CONTRACTORS AND PROPERTY MANAGERS, BUT MICK McKECHAN, TECHNICAL MANAGER AT H D SHARMAN REMINDS EVERYONE HOW RUBBERISED PLYGENE GUTTERLINE IS THE TRIED, TESTED AND TRUSTED; COST-EFFECTIVE AND FULLY GUARANTEED SOLUTION.
L
eaking gutters, especially large ones, have long been viewed as being one of the most difficult maintenance problems to solve. This not only applies to old buildings either, because these days, many of the more recently built properties have also suffered flooding problems when their gutter joints have failed, very often as a result of stresses caused by building movement and constantly changing temperatures. Unfortunately, the traditional joint sealing methods, using mastics and patches, are at best only short-term remedies.
Some twenty five years ago, one man, Mr Harold Sharman, was determined that there had to be a better, more efficient and more cost-effective method than the archaic hit and miss treatments generally employed. His innovative solution was to create the highly acclaimed Gutterline system using his own, patented Rubberised Plygene. Now widely used to stop leaks instantly and permanently in gutters of any length, any
width and any profile, the Gutterline system is BBA Approved, is simple to install, and when fitted to the manufacturer’s instructions, it also carries a 20-year guarantee.
All Gutterline is made-to-measure for every contract and is supplied on a one-piece, joint- free roll that creates what is in effect a ‘gutter within a gutter’, making it impossible for water to penetrate behind or beneath the liner. H D Sharman Ltd, exclusive manufacturers of Rubberised Plygene Gutterline, have developed every ancillary component that could possibly be needed to ensure that this is a complete, and self-contained solution to the problems of leaking gutters. The Gutterline system today is complemented by a full range of components to suit all gutter and outlet details including corners, weirs, side boxes, stop ends, sumps, transitions and all types of outlets including syphonics. All these components are tailor made to measure and cater for exact requirements.
