Broken guttering on conservatory

So, our guttering has finally succumbed to the elements and decided to break and fall off last night. No major issue as it is cheap
And easy to replace however will not be able to do it for a week/10 days, do you think it is a concern leak wise? It is a slanted roof which you may be able to see from the pics, and really the water should just run off.

    Yes, the water should just run off, drop down on to your surround and splash up on your windows!! If it is only a week or so, should be OK.
  • It should be fine for a week - depending on the surface below, the rain may bounce off and get the wall wet so its not something you'd want to leave for too long.

    May not be the guttering at fault. Conservatories can have different gutter brackets to those used on houses. Check out what brackets you have, aim to replace these - a clip on detail hopefully, and clip the gutter back into place.
