Comments
The client was experiencing persistent leaks due to ageing Finlock gutters, with multiple joint failures across the system.
A full replacement was required to eliminate the issues and provide a long-term solution. The new system was designed to improve both performance and insulation, while also delivering a clean and modern finish.
By installing a timber-backed system with integrated insulation and a modern Deepflow guttering solution, the risk of leaks has been completely removed. The use of durable, low-maintenance materials ensures long-term reliability.
The finished result has resolved all previous issues, and the system has performed without fault since installation, with no call-backs required.
