BenP Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 A quick one.... Our budget isn't quite stretching to the metal rainwater goods - a job for a date in the future perhaps. Has anyone got recommendations for a good supplier of plastic goods? Screwfix look good cost wise but I'd rather not go for it if it's poor quality stuff!

Completely agree! We'll be costing up the options regardless to see what the difference is before any kind of commitment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (Some) Cheap and unbranded stuff is very skinny and difficult to fix. I suspect some of it is a poor clone and not thought through. If it goes up twisted it not only looks poor but functions badly, as any dip reduces the whole capacity. So Brett Martin/ Marley/ Hunter etc would be my choice. Make sure it is big enough for the job, especially if there is a long run of gutter before the dp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone West Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have used Hunter in the past and it was strong, not flimsy. It also kept it's colour, black, which cheaper versions don't, going grey quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't ever remember having a problem with their products, as long as the boys fitting them did they were told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faz Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The Polypipe stuff is fine - joints generally work well if it is fitted properly and it looks pretty good. Can't go wrong really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
