Custom made gutters

Hi,
Our workshop which is a portal frame building needs new gutters. The brackets are good just need gutters to fix in them. Its a 1960/70s building with asbestos gutters, and so brackets aren't suitable for plastic gutters. The only thing I can think is there might be somebody who can make gutters to fit - galavanised steel maybe.
Does anybody know of a company who does this or any other suggestions. ?

TIA

Half round asbestos gutters?

I've bought steel replacements from Thomas Panels & Profiles. Very thick, galvanised, and then painted to goosewing grey (the only colour they do). Look smart, fairly simple to put up and should be trouble free.

What sort of price were they? I'm looking for exactly the same, something decent to replace old 8" half round asbestos guttering.
 
Yes but it never seems to make a decent job of it. You've got those holes drilled right at the bottom of the gutter and if enough sealant doesn't get into the hole and around the bolt, you get this constant drip drip from the bolt. All the leaky asbestos gutters I've got all leak at the joints.
They are long lasting but I know what you mean about the joints dripping we have the same problem.

I used twin wall drainage pipe , cut it in half with circular saw6 meter long so not many joints quite cheap, been up 15 year trouble free
