Common Gutter Faults in Gwynedd
The most frequent fault is a gutter that has bowed between brackets that are too far apart or have snapped. Some gutters slowly tip the wrong way, leaving water sitting at the far end. Plastic lengths crack where a ladder has leant on them, and old uPVC becomes brittle in sunlight. Rotten fascia boards are another cause, as brackets cannot hold in soft timber.
A repair quote should say whether it covers new brackets, alignment and a water test. Cast iron and aluminium systems may need a specialist familiar with the existing profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
The answers below cover common questions about gutter repairs.
How far apart should gutter brackets be?
For most plastic gutters, brackets are fitted no more than about a metre apart, and closer near corners and outlets. Manufacturers give exact spacing for each system.
Is it worth repairing old plastic gutters?
If the gutter is sound and parts are still available, a repair is usually worthwhile. If it is brittle, cracked in several places or the profile is discontinued, replacement may be better.
Can a gutter be repaired if the fascia is rotten?
The fascia needs repairing or replacing first, because brackets cannot hold securely in soft timber. Your specialist should tell you if this is needed.
