Repairing galvanised guttering

ed110220

How would you repair galvanised guttering that is leaking due to the seals at the joints having failed? The guttering itself is in good condition, just the sealant that's failed. Not sure what was originally used (1940s) or what the modern replacement would be..

Good stuff that, might just need a bolt drilling in to stop any future movement, as it is likely to have rusted in places.

CT1 is the mutts nuts, You won't need to remove the bolts just get the clear ct1 & smooth it round the outside of the joints, you won't see it because unlike some others it really is clear

And make sure you have a solvent for it before you start as it really does stick like sheite to a blanket.

Thanks for CT1 suggestion and solvent tip, I'll give it a go. I'm surprised how well the galvanised guttering and downpipes have lasted.

For a fraction of the cost, I used a silicon from Home Bargains a few months ago to join iron to plastic. Hasn't leaked yet. however, if you have to hire ladders then go for the CT1.
