Guttering

Choosing the Right Guttering for Your Property

At County Building Supplies, we supply guttering for professional roofers, builders, contractors and DIY customers. Whether you're replacing damaged gutters or installing a new rainwater drainage system, choosing suitable guttering helps direct rainwater away from your roof and building.

Our range includes Brett Martin 112mm Roundstyle guttering and Cascade Cast Iron Style PVC guttering, available in 2m and 4m lengths.

112mm Roundstyle Guttering

112mm roundstyle guttering is a popular choice for domestic properties, including houses, garages and extensions. Its half-round profile is designed to collect rainwater from the roof and direct it towards compatible outlets and downpipes.

County stocks Brett Martin 112mm Roundstyle Guttering in black, available in 2m and 4m lengths.

When choosing guttering, consider the roof area, rainfall intensity and the capacity of the complete drainage system.

Cast Iron Style vs Standard PVC Guttering

Both standard PVC and cast iron effect guttering provide practical rainwater drainage solutions, but they offer different appearances.

• Standard PVC guttering: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and relatively easy to maintain, making it a popular option for modern and traditional properties.
• Cast iron style PVC guttering: Designed to replicate the appearance of traditional cast iron while offering the practical benefits of plastic guttering.

County stocks Brett Martin Cascade Cast Iron Style PVC guttering in 2m and 4m lengths, providing an alternative for properties where a traditional appearance is preferred.

What Length of Guttering Do You Need?

Before ordering, measure the total length of the roof edges requiring guttering. County stocks 2m and 4m lengths, allowing you to select a suitable combination for your project.

For example, a straight roof edge measuring 10m could be covered using two 4m lengths and one 2m length, before accounting for installation details.

Remember to allow for the required gutter unions, outlets, stopends, brackets and corners. These can be found in our Guttering Fittings category.

Installing & Maintaining Guttering

Correct installation is essential for effective rainwater drainage. Gutters should be supported at the manufacturer's recommended bracket spacing and installed with the appropriate fall towards the outlet.

Regularly check for leaves, debris, blocked outlets, loose brackets and leaking joints. Keeping guttering clear helps reduce the risk of overflowing water and damage to surrounding building materials.

Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions, particularly for joint allowances and thermal movement.
