Replacement of old gutters

[Right-arm fast]

Hi,

Need some advice on replacing the gutters on an old 60'x30' shed from circa the 1970s.

It has the original asbestos gutters which are sound but leak from from every joint. The brackets are as good as the day the were put up, so question is - is it possible to get gutters formed/ordered to fit the brackets by providing a section of old gutter.

What else can i do as i'm sure any newly available gutters wont fit the brackets. Would be shame to have to cut all the brackets off and replace with new.

Thanks

If it's half round 150mm asbestos gutters, I'v just done a shed the same. I ended up cutting the old brackets off and fitted new PVC 150mm half round gutter from Toolstation. The brackets aren't dear and it saved drilling the new gutter to bolt it onto the old brackets.

Leave the brackets just as they are. Thomas Panels and Profiles will make a lovely strong curved gutter that will fit straight on.

Thanks, were they ordinary domestic gutters?
The shed has corrugated tin sheets above concrete walls, would you have to screw boards on under roof sheets to screw the brackets to?

There is a plastic one thats a direct replacement, it sort of has higher walls than the usual half round, it fits on the brackets without modification.

Thats it, they are very deep for a 6" gutter. Would you know where you get them from?

Luckily we had a timber purlin to screw them onto

Why not just reseal every joint?

Fit plastic deep flow and lash the gutter to the old brackets with quality stainless steel cable ties

Bit damp for that now. I know ct1 will work in the wet but it's cleaning the snot off that's tricky when it's all wet and slimy.

The gutter sections arent great - got moss on them, i dont fancy messing around cleaning up the asbestos to get a decent seal. Just want to get them down and go with the right size plastic preferably. Plus the down spouts

Replaced a lot of asbestos gutters with bent metal replacements , can't remember from who.
Easy job worked well untill we had a gale and a great chunk blew out of the old brackets.
Lesson. Tie replacement gutters down if they are going in old brackets.

A1 installations will fit a continuous aluminium gutter to whatever profile you want. It will never leak again.

Every day is a school day! Never even thought about SS cable ties!
