What is the process of the concrete gutter removal?

Surveyance

First, we start every project by establishing what already exists and how it can be resolved. Assessing what is needed and prioritising health and safety throughout the concrete gutter removal. After assessing the risks, next is to implement the necessary measures. A ladder is risky in almost all circumstances, so it is best to set up scaffolding.

Front section

The front section of concrete gutters is removed by using a specialised tool. This ensures that there is a solid capstone that is in line with the wall and provides stability and a base for installing the new guttering. A strip of timber is placed as a wall plate and fixed to the existing wall with screws. It is not always needed but adding a layer of insulation will help prevent any cold areas revealed from the effect of removing the concrete gutters. After the wall plate, the fascia board is installed on top of the new timber face plate. Installed over the insulation, it provides an area to affix the new gutters in a sturdy way.

Gutters and down pipes

The penultimate stage, installing all the piping and guttering so it is lined up properly with the house and drains correctly
