My cast iron guttering has a leak. Replace or fix leak.

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.19 PM

My cast iron gutter has a leak. Would it be easy to fix? I’ve had a roofer use a sealant before, but the leak has come back. I think the leak is in the joint. The other issue is that the gutter is connected to my neighbours roof, which I can see would be an issue. Thanks for all the replies, certainly educated me.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi, Keep the peace between neighbours. Yes, the joint can be cleaned and re-sealed this should solve the problem. However, if there is a hairline crack in the joint this may have to be replaced.

Never been of fan of using sealants especially in an external situation like roof line products or roofing . I would always recommend repaclement , anything else would be a short term repair

I’m recommending to change the iron gutters to the plastic with proper levels and underly support trays :)

If the gutter has a hairline crack you can use a paint or spray sealant to seal it as the joint just needs a clean and a mastic applied.

Depending on the condition of the current gutter, you could use some CT1, and seal it. If that doesn't work you'll have to replace it.
