Summary: Learn how to install UPVC guttering, fit UPVC guttering, attach UPVC guttering to a building and fit a UPVC downpipe.
Although one person can assemble UPVC guttering due to its lightweight structure, you may find it easier to have a helper because any job that involves working from a ladder can be hazardous.
Before starting you will need to calculate the length of guttering required. By drawing a simple diagram of the property and using the lengths of the walls as a guide, you will be able to work out how many sections of guttering you will need plus the number of lengths that will have to be cut.
Screw in a gutter support clip high up on the fascia board.
To maintain your run-off angle, tie string between two clips.
Fix a third clip onto the board 1m from the first, making sure the string is just touching its top edge.
Fit the first section into the first and highest clip on the fascia.
Using an off-cut as a template, cut through the guttering using a panel saw and smooth the cut end with a file.
Join two offset bends with a short piece of down pipe so the pipe is brought closer to the wall.
