How to replace gutter brackets?

annieerbs

During heavy rain we've noticed the water flows out of one area of the gutter. Upon getting on the ladder and looking i noticed some of the 'clips' that hold the gutter to the roof have broken.

My question is: Is this an easy fix or will we have to lift that section of colorbond to access the hold point. Getting them off the gutter is easy.

Looking on the bunnings site i notice they are made from PVC which would last better but i would be unable to bend them to accommodate the width of the space between the roof hold and the gutter.

Appreciate your wisdom and advice.

Appreciate any

Hi @annieerbs,

Thank you for your question.

Do you have some photos of the gutter that you could share? 

We need to make sure that the clips you are looking at are the right profile for your gutter. Quad is a common gutter profile, but it is not the only one, so we should measure and check before you go grab the clips.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way that you can install a gutter clip without removing the gutter as the part that is screwed to the fascia sits behind the back edge of the gutter.

If you look on YouTube, there will be plenty of videos showing how to take a gutter off its clips.

Once the gutter is off, you can screw the new clips in place, ensuring they follow the same line to maintain the fall of the gutter. Once the clips are in place, you can reinstall the gutter.

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
