To direct water away from a buildings base a Rainwater system is normally used. By keeping Rainwater away from the main building we help protect against leaks, erosion, warring of painted areas, water draining into the basement. Collected water can also be used for task such as watering the garden.

Popular materials for guttering systems include metal, GRP, copper, zinc, plastic and timber.

A down pipe (also referred to as a leader) is used to drain the water from the roof mounted gutter to the ground where it can be collected in a barrel or soaked away into a drain. A barrel may be used to collect water from the guttering system.

Rainwater Systems are created using a combination of pre-manufactured parts.

Gutter Pipe – a half pipe positioned on the fascia board of the building to gather water as it runs off the roof. A wide range of profiles are available for gutters to match the aesthetics of the building.

Down Pipes direct the water from the gutter to the drain or collection barrel. The pipes will be made up of a series of pipes and joints so it can be fixed to the building.

Hoppers – down pipes from different areas of the roof line can meet at a junction called a hopper where they are joined into a single pipe.

Accessories – The rainwater system is fitted using a series of accessories such as fascia brackets, clips, ends and outlets.

Solid hoods, screens and louvers are used to act as a screen that allows water to drain away but catches solid debris such as leaves and moss.
