Olly P Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Has anyone had any experience with Rainclear guttering? I initially wanted Lindab but it seems that lead times are weeks and also Rain Clear stuff looks almost identical but cheaper. In fact around the same price as plastic! https://www.rainclear.co.uk/guttering/galvanised-steel-gutters/guttering-fittings.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAh4j-BRCsARIsAGeV12AiR9rLsFDortdXEzDYTFVd5J1DW3XhqApECD-HqZOVM7rDnFBmQocaAhLhEALw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundtuit Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 It's Zambelli by the looks of it (logo is on the hopper), and yes, I installed it. I got it from Drain Depot, who were cheapest at the time, so if you've got a shopping list I'd punt it out to both and see if you can squeeze a bit more cost out! I'm impressed with the system; easy to cut to size and put together, looks and feels robust, and often admired by visitors. Took a pic earlier in the year when the sun was throwing interesting shadows on the cladding; it had been up 3 and a half years at that point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 Looks fantastic! I'll take a look at drain depot now. Did you use the prefab outlets or the wrap around type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundtuit Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Thanks! Wrap-around; easy enough to fit with a hacksaw and a pair of tin snips, (and it doesn't matter if the hole you cut in the gutter is a bit rough, 'cos the outlet covers it ?). I put the gutter in position first, then dropped a plumb line down to the where the underground drainage came up; mark and fit! If you Google 'youtube zambelli' you should find some 'how to' stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 3 different sizes 115mm 125mm 150mm Our roof size is around 380sqm dormer bungalow. Around 450sqm floor space inside. There is a BS calculation to the flow rate from a roof. You then use that to work out the litres/second and then the number of down pipes. Unless it’s a small building, 125mm deep flow or 150mm If you don’t have many downpipes Decent guide here Edited December 12, 2020 by PeterW Added link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
