Old Atcost building!, A man who can, needed!

[Pintail]

Some bright spark has just took down two bay lengths of concrete guttering on the Atcost concrete building, with the teleporter, does anyone know a company who is fixing these. Currently in Norfolk but feel like running away

 

[carbonfibre farmer]

@grainboy , any ideas?

 

[grainboy]

No sorry,
But I doubt you’ll find any to replace them with,

I assume the orginal guttering is now totally knackered?? Bin it and call Thomas Profiles in Leominster!.

If still sort of solid, put a plygene liner from Sharman's in?

 

[Pintail]

still got the guttering, hardly damaged, its finding the expertise to repair

 

[Goweresque]

Can the bits that have been knocked down be put back up securely? If so the obvious solution would be to install a seamless liner inside the concrete gutter. Either a plastic liner (https://hdsharman.co.uk/) or a seamless aluminium gutter made to fit (http://www.a1installations.co.uk/agricultural-buildings/).

Sounds a bit like an insurance job?

plonk it back up there with the tele and do the whole length with sharmans

I believe so, its finding someone to do that ? the gutter was already lined

Yes it is an insurance job , hopefully they will know a contractor. Thanks to all for your time and advice! I have no idea what a sharman is?

We had our very leaky Atcost valley gutters done by A1installations, excellent work

Thought you were retiring

Aren't the gutters structural? I think they are.

This happened on one of our sheds a long time ago. Get some Steels, plates and threaded bar and put them underneath where the gutter was, bolting to the uprights, which probably have holes in them anyway.

Then get a seamless ally gutter formed to run continuously, sitting it on top of the Steels in the missing bays. None of this is a particularly cheap or easy exercise, but it is doable.

fork lift driver did the same at work
we made a metal one

Anyone had any success with repairing the leaky joints on these gutters? Without re lining ect. I was hoping, maybe naively, that some sort of glue/ compound/ cement could be used to fix them

 

[farmbrew]

Liquid rubber paint does improve the joints if not too bad but does dry up eventually, its a cheap bodge rather than a permanent fix

Hd Sharman do a liner which is good…… I still have one held down with lengths of chestnut thrown in the gutter!

thought about using 600mm dpc as a cheap and cheerful fix. Trouble with patching the joints is the expansion and contraction…. Only last a year or two.

We have also used A1 Installations. Cant fault them.

 

[Lewis]

anyone recommend a gutter lining firm that are around the Shropshire area? have an Atcost shed gutter to line and also a valley gutter to do also.
