Plan the complete system
- Measure roof edges and gutter runs
- Assess capacity, fall and outlet positions
- Check fascia and fixing condition
- Review downpipe condition and discharge
- Select compatible material, profile and colour
- Plan access, removal and disposal
Full or sectional replacement
A sound portion may sometimes be retained, while widespread age or mismatched sections may support full replacement. Joins between old and new systems require compatible profiles and a clear scope.
Profiles and capacity
COLORBOND notes that gutter styles and sizes vary by manufacturer and that a supplier or installer should advise which profile and size is appropriate for the application.
