Thank you! I got a quote for replacing one of these and cleaning the guttering of a bungalow(!) for £180. Just went down to Wickes and bought a replacement union bracket for £3. What you said about unclipping further along made all the difference.
I have a 3 storey house had a quote for scaffold from 500 to 950 and then 100 to 200 to replace the bracket. I've now found my own aluminium scaffolding for 66 pounds for the week and I'm going up with a £4 bracket from DIY shop and doing it myself for £70 total
No mention of screws in the fittings and removing roof tile to gain access. Just replaced my leaking gutter joints not straight forward like you are saying. They were Bartol no longer made but the floplast fittings from Wickes are a good or even better fit,screwed back with stainless steel screws.
Of all the gadgets you have Al, I thought you would have a smartphone Endoscope Camera for those hard to film nooks and crannies. I got mine a few months ago now and it's a very handy piece of kit for only £23.00.
@@dereton33 Mine has a magnet or you can put a clip/hook on the end if you drop something down a cavity. It also has LED lights on the end for looking under cabinets or down wall cavities. You can take still or short footage on your mobile phone. Handy for looking under gutters lol
Hey Al.. have a question unrelated to this video but thought I would ask can't find any answers online. My kitchen sink mixer hot tap has turned 'spongy'. If I try and shut the tap off tight it won't, gently springs back. No leaks or drip but doesn't seem right. Boiler was replaced last week and the water is much hotter than before do you think the washer has changed due to being exposed to hot water? Thanks for the great videos.
@@dereton33 Thanks Al. :) BTW just watched your video on DACs.. I recently upgraded from an already decent DAC to a Cambridge Audio 851D, it's amazing! Really recommend if you can find one for around this price they were originally £1500 and measure well against DACs costing double that! £300 ex display from Richer Sounds 👍
What would you recommend as a way to fix a leaking gutter seal (on an elbow) when a replacement elbow can’t be obtained? I have 100 mm half-round Rymway guttering that’s now obsolete.
Hi, really good video and you did make it look very simple. I want to replace two existing connectors with new ones that I bought. Unfortunately when I tried to take off the old one, which is the same type as yours, polypipe I think, there is a screw that holds the old connector in place and it is extremely awkward to get to and undo. You don't actually show this in the video. Without being able to undo the old connector I'm a bit stuck and I have two leaking ones. I can't even replace just the broken clips , as the new ones are a modified design, to stop the clips breaking so easily I think. Still it was good to see how you did it. Any tips for getting the screws off? I've tried wd40
If what dereton33 says with the hammer and screwdriver trick doesn't work try a squirt of plusgas which will basically disolve any rust then try again :) never fails that stuff
the very bit I needed to see was edited out. I want to know how to get the gutter into the joining bits that join the two parts, I can't see how to get them in without snapping something.
Or where the parents have bought their kids a cricket set and haven't taught their kids to drive fours and encourage hitting sixes instead. "No ball!" It's in the running outlet.

Nice work!
Aaaah, nice one. That's shown me a few tips for sorting that job out. Thanks Al!
Glad to help Neil
Great information as usual conservatory gutter leaking again I sealed it first time now to fit gaskets for a proper job thanks again
No problem.
I've just been doing a corner bracket 20ft up a ladder ,wish I never started so hard .your video was good .
Great.
You legend! Thanks for making this video really helped me out.
Glad it helped!

Well done John.
You would think they'd be able to do it with ropes these days what a con and well done!
thanks for this!!! super helpful!
No problem.
Thank you, great video and really clear
You are welcome!
easy and simple fixe enjoyed the video.
Thanks Ratch.
Great video,very helpful, thanks for sharing 👍.
No problem 👍
I'm guessing the reason why it was shorter than the original is that the one you replaced it with was metric and the other imperial?
Thanks, very helpful.
You're welcome!
Your dog looked like he want more fuss from you. Such a cute dog. You should do a dog special video.
I may do philip.
thank you for sharing. Top man.
No problem 👍
Fantastic video love that dog
Plumber On the Job
That dog is so cute
Plumber On the Job Great advice love it
Plumber On the Job My rubber was totally missing lol
Always with great videos. Many thanks.
Thanks Robert.
What is the black plastic sheeting you have between the gutter and the roofing tiles and is it easily fitted. Great video as always 👍
That is a tile underlay that goes completely over the roof. You have to remove all the roof tiles to fit it.
No mention of screws in the fittings and removing roof tile to gain access.

You will be wanting me to come round and fit it next, ha ha.

Umm sounds like it might be a good idea Cliff..

Thanks for the info Cliff. Will look into getting one.

Dry off and clean joints and apply CT1 mastic. Do not use any cheap stuff though, this is the only stuff that works.
@@dereton33 Do I remove the old rubber (non-)seal, or just apply the CT1 over the rubber?
If 100mm is obsolete what replaced it?

A hammer and a tight fitting screwdriver, Over than that, ease a screwdriver behind the bracket and lever it off.
If what dereton33 says with the hammer and screwdriver trick doesn't work try a squirt of plusgas which will basically disolve any rust then try again :) never fails that stuff
the very bit I needed to see was edited out. I want to know how to get the gutter into the joining bits that join the two parts, I can't see how to get them in without snapping something.
Just pull the gutter into the rear slot then pull the gutter the other side into the clip.
Does anyone know if these gutter fittings are interchangeable or do you need to match the manufacturer?
Best to match the manufacturer.
@@dereton33 if you can't find the manufacturer name ..can you suggest a few brands ...mine is square guttering like yrs Al .
Thanks
Can you change the seals?
No.
Can you use these on an aluminium gutter?
No.
you forgot to test with some water, now next time it rains and still leaks, you will be back again.
Solid ever since mate.
Where can we buy the gasket
Plumbing shop or Amazon.
I did that but still leaking any ideas
Use some silicon on the rubber seal.
The best gutters I work on are the ones all screwed together through the plastic and covered in silicone 😀
Or where the parents have bought their kids a cricket set and haven't taught their kids to drive fours and encourage hitting sixes instead. "No ball!"
It's in the running outlet.
@@loafersheffield 😀😀😀😀
Step one get up ladder ... er na
Model
Number of connector please?
No idea. It is just a 4 inch gutter connector.
Microsoft will no longer be, supporting windows 7. From January 14th 2020 😱
Thanks for the info Ralph.
Hang on, you were up a ladder using one hand to film.👸
Your lucky no one saw you or it could of been tricky, I think you need a head cam.👍😙
You could be right but I was only up 2 feet.
