Leaky guttering parts

My guttering has a drip, and I'm just not sure what part I need to buy to replace the on the 90 degree bend. Can anyone advise based on the picture? No blockage up there by the way, I've been up and checked.

  • You might just be able to clean the seals - they get bits of grit in them sometimes and that starts to leak and drip.

    If cleaning doesn't work the new part is about £4.
  • I'd rather just replace the part so I don't have to go up there again, it's a real pita accessing on a very long ladder. What part do I need?

    It's just a 90degree half round gutter angle.You just flick back the 2 clips and take the old one off. Clean the outside of the gutter where the seals sit and clip the new one in.

    I'm in  the take it apart and clean the seals camp.

    The challenge in replacing it  is identifying the make and then who supplies it.

    Although it's better to keep to the same make, for 112mm half round most makes are inter changeable. For example,  Floplast will fit most other makes, although can be a tight fit on Hunter. If you take the part in to the merchants they should be able to fix you up.
