Correctly sized systems
Older guttering was often sized for lower rainfall expectations than modern systems account for, leading to overflow during heavier downpours.
Consistent falls prevent pooling
Properly installed modern guttering maintains a consistent fall to the downpipe, avoiding the standing water that causes older, sagging systems to overflow or leak.
Protecting more than just the roofline
Effective drainage protects external walls from water damage and helps prevent water pooling around foundations, which can cause much more significant problems over time.
Reduced maintenance with modern materials
Modern uPVC guttering doesn't corrode or need repainting the way older cast iron systems do, reducing the ongoing maintenance burden considerably.
