Lengths of guttering fixed to the fascia board are open at the top to catch the water. Guttering is available in different lengths and in various profiles including:
A component that is sometimes fitted approximately a third of the way down from the top of the downpipe to catch the water from other wastepipes, such as the overflow from the toilet cistern in the bathroom.
A bracket used to fix the down pipe to the wall and comes in two parts. One part fits around the pipe while the other part is fixed to the wall. The separate parts are joined together with a nut and bolt.
