Leaking Guttering

Question

A part of guttering has been replaced to a new front section. When it rains, it is now leaking  quite heavily in one or two places. Not sure if it’s under or over the guttering, but the water is running down the brickwork, which it never did before. Any idea what the problem might be and how to resolve the issue.

You need to check if it's the same make of guttering, most aren't compatible with the other, unless you have a correct fitting, or it could be the brackets make the guttering sit further out than before

Leaking guttering can be frustrating! Given the recent replacement, it's likely related to the new installation. Possible causes:

1. Improper alignment or leveling of the guttering
2. Insufficient or incorrect sealing of joints/connections
3. Incorrect guttering size or pitch
4. Blockages or debris in the guttering
5. Leaks at the downspout connection

To resolve the issue:

1. Inspect the guttering and joints for any signs of leakage or damage.
2. Check the guttering alignment and ensure it's properly leveled.
3. Verify that all connections and joints are sealed correctly.
4. Clear any debris or blockages from the guttering.
5. Consider consulting the installer or a professional roofer for further assistance.

It's essential to address the issue promptly to prevent water damage to the brickwork and surrounding areas.
