    Leaking Guttering

    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.
