Sagging, leaking, pulling away.
Most overflow is not a gutter that needs replacing. It is lost fall, a hanger that let go, or a seal that opened.
What usually goes wrong
Four faults, nearly every time.
A gutter is a simple thing hung on a wooden board out in the weather.
When it stops working there are only a handful of reasons, and most are an afternoon.
We would far rather re-hang a sound run than sell you a new one.
- Lost pitch — water stands in the middle and comes over the front edge.
- Pulled hangers, or spikes backing out of soft fascia.
- Open mitres and end caps, dripping at the corner every time it rains.
- A blocked or undersized outlet, backing the run up before it can drain.

The fix
Find the low spot, put the fall back.
- 01Find the low spot
Where the water stands tells you exactly where the run has dropped.
- 02Re-hang it
Hidden hangers into solid wood, at the spacing that run needs, with the fall put back toward the outlet.
- 03Reseal the joins
Mitres, end caps and outlets cleaned back and resealed properly instead of smeared over.
- 04Check the board
If the fascia behind has gone soft, that gets dealt with first — there is a page on that.


A run that works is quiet.
No sheeting off the front, no drip at the corner, no stripe down the siding after every storm.
Is a repair worth it on old gutters?
Mine only leaks at the corner.
There is a stripe down my siding.
Can you match a repair to the rest of the run?

Something letting go?
