How to seal the gap between the house and pergola guttering

[AdamK1]

Hi,

Long time reader, first time poster.

After a bit of rain last night I noticed quite a bit of water coming in via the gap between the house and the pergola guttering.

Any recommendations on how to go about sealing this? or what products I should use?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @AdamK1. Great to see you make your first post. 

Could you please share some photos of the gap? I'm sure it would help people to see what you are working with and be able to provide more specific and helpful advice. 

Please let me know if you ever need a hand getting the most from the site. 

All the best,

Jason

Hi @AdamK1 good to hear from you, shame about the circumstances...
Any chance of a photo so we can get a better idea of what's happening there?

Sorry gents.. see photo attached

My eyes aren't good. A gutter close to a brick wall?

Hi @AdamK1 thanks for the photo.
That's really not a good install. In heavy rain or if gutters are blocked or have gutter-guard fitted then you will get overflow or over-splash. Impossible to avoid with the current configuration.
Custom flashing added between the gutter edge & house would reduce some of the problem but that won't fix the problem with overflowing in heavy rain.
Was that professionally installed or a DIY job?

Not too sure if professional or DIY - Only moved into the place a month ago and then last night discovered this..

Replace wood, with steel beam and you got it..

Okay, very rough diagram but I'm assuming your roof lines look a little like this?

Correct!
