Gutters & Downpipes FAQs
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Ninety percent of the time, gutters and downpipes overflow in heavy rain due to lack of maintenance. Therefore, all gutters and downpipes should be routinely cleaned at least bi-annually. However, this completely depends on where your gutters and downpipes are located. For example, if they are surrounded by trees, they may need to be cleaned more frequently.
Essentially, all guttering supplies must be maintained otherwise the manufacturer warranty (usually 20 years) may become ineffective. Worse still, poorly maintained gutter downpipe and connecting roof gutter structures can cause further damage to the roof.
That said, today’s industrial gutters and downpipes and connecting gutter clips are robust. They’re designed to withstand even the most changeable of weathers.
Usually, one of the biggest problems in cleaning industrial gutters is the height of the building itself. However, Mobile Elevating Work Platforms can make the job far easier. Just remember to make sure that your contractors use the correct brushes and tools to clean and collect debris.
How long should industrial gutters last?
Most industrial gutter systems should last you at least a good 20 years or more, provided they are maintained correctly and regularly cleaned (at least bi-annually and in accordance with manufacturer guidelines).
How long a warranty extends to depends on the product. For instance, the Brett Martin 170mm rainwater downpipe and gutter system, which is made from durable UV resistant deep flow PVC, has a 10 year colour warranty and has been fully tested to BS EN 1462 Load Class H.
Then you’ve got other more domestic grade gutters and downpipes that are made from polyester coated aluminium and designed to last for more than 50 years.
Additionally, there are lots of different single skin galvanised guttering supplies and membrane lined gutters and downpipes to choose from that offer warranties of over 25 years.
What are the options for PVC industrial gutters?
There are quite a few options available when it comes to specifying and sourcing PVC industrial gutters and downpipes. As a leading guttering supplies company we can pretty much lay our hands on any PVC industrial gutters.
However, in our experience, the Brett Martin 170mm rainwater downpipe and gutter system is one of the best on the market. The Brett Martin 170mm system a durable UV resistant PVC deep flow roof gutter, designed for agricultural and commercial buildings including farm, warehouse and apartments. As such, it offers a superior and robust drainage solution. Available in black and grey – this gutter downpipe system comes with pioneering ‘clip & seal’ technology for easy and efficient installation. The gutter clips and seals fully combine with the fittings so that the designed captive seal is held securely within the fitting – whilst the clip locks the seal firmly in place.
We also stock and regularly supply a wide range of plastic roof gutter systems, including square downpipe systems. In addition, we supply many polyester powder coated aluminium gutters and downpipes.

How can you waterproof downpipes and gutters?
There are several options when it comes to waterproofing downpipes and gutters. Most systems will be completely watertight. However, there are several coating guttering supplies you can purchase.
Cromapol, for example, is a superb one coat acrylic roof gutter and downpipe coating product for both flat and pitched roofs. It can be used to instantly waterproof existing gutter downpipe systems. It can be applied to metal, roofing felts, the roof gutter, asphalt, lead, fibreglass, rooflights flashing and even corrugated asbestos.
Even while wet, cromapol provides instant waterproofing and will not wash away while curing.
Croma also offer a flexible heavy duty rubber roof gutter coating product. It is brushed on or rolled onto gutters and downpipes and can be applied over many surfaces including concrete, masonry, wood, brick, metal foam & more…

We can quickly supply guttering supplies at a competitive price anywhere in the UK.
How often should downpipes be replaced?
In theory, industrial gutters and downpipes should last at least 25 years, if not a lot longer than this. Many high quality industrial gutter systems even go as far as to suggest a lifespan of 50 years or more, provided they are maintained properly.
The UV value of most guttering supplies is very good, even for PVC products where you should expect no colour fading for 10 years.
Of course, how long downpipes last really is a matter of how well they are looked after. Ideally, downpipes should be checked at least once a year and clean bi-annually. This may even need to be more frequent if your building is next to a treeline or there’s a bad bout of weather. It doesn’t take much for debris to accumulate.
