How to: Install Quad Gutter COLORBOND® onto Timber Fascia | Metal Roofing Online

[@danielfradd802]

Some of the best trade videos online I have ever watched. Nice. Already roofed a gatehouse and carport from watching you guys and reading manufacturer specifications. Full props.

[@metalroofing7210]

Hi Daniel, So glad these videos were able to help you with your projects. This makes me happy 😊 😊. Kind regards Darren, Metalroofingonline

[@tinyhousediybuild3599]

Thank you so much for taking the time and generously sharing this most valuable instructions. Opened the gutter clips this morning and freaked out. Had no idea what the spike thing was that was sticking up, nor how the gutter clips were fitted. Can't get a plumber in our area for love nor money. Been waiting 41/2 months already. After viewing you video I now have the courage and skills to have a go myself. Here's hoping I get it right.

[@shergill84]

A very detailed and easy to understand video. Thanks Darren.

I saw you the other week at the Queensland airport gate as I was heading back to Melbourne. I saw your face and thought I know you from somewhere, then I realised your videos helped me install my gutter on my verandah a few weeks before. Thanks heaps for your video really helped me immensely and the gutter looks pretty good and functions 👍🤘🙏

Vagabond_Shadow thanks. I appreciate that 😊

[@gregorygange8001]

Excellent series of tutorial style vids. Straightforward and to the point. How many times do I need to watch them before I get a qualification as a "Roofer/Gutterer" ? I paid a bunch of clowns, who were supposedly trade qualifed, and certified, and insured, and yeah yeah sure Ted leave the money on the fridge a sh...tload of dollars to come and totally screw up my guttering 18 months ago, and I reckon if they had watched these vids even once I would have a job that is only half as bad. I am in the process of working out what I need to redo the job. It can't be so hard that 5G of materials would cost 11 to fit, even with scaff.

[@josevilca6493]

thank you for this video help a lot.

[@chebby7]

Grouse video. I reckon I can fix the gutter that fell off the shed now. I'll check if need more clips. Previous installer used 2 rivets per clip. I'll check the fall while I'm at it. Thankyou.

[@brumrunner15]

thankyou for a great video. cheers.

[@csxmad]

Great video Darren, just too questions, the screws you used for the quad brackets are they stainless screws and how long are they. Also i'm laying down Galvanised sheets is there a top or bottom on these sheets or are both sides the same?

[@clintonpaffett8325]

Can you actually do guttering by yourself without any license in NSW?

[@paulung1034]

Hi Darren, Thank you for the instruction video, well explained and easy to understand. I'm looking at replacing my old Box gutter to my 60 + years old house. this type gutter in no longer available /made. After thoroughly inspected , I believe the I will need to remove the existing box gutter and add either a timber facia or Colorbond facia board before installing new gutter. Would you have any tips you can share of how to tackle this project?

[@anthonyvanderhoeven7288]

Great video

[@moevaevaeaki1112]

[@RE_ZeeKaay]

I have a 14 metre gutter to install. Would i complete all the work on the ground beforehand and install as one piece?

[@hayj3836]

[@jw-bt3nc]

Much appreciated content

[@aaronturner7149]

Great video. I noticed there is a gap between the back of the gutter and the facia due to the clips. We have water flowing between ours due to a short drip line. Any advice on how to prevent it please? Thanks!

[@alexouretski115]

In Australia the attitude towards craftsmanship seems to be “she’ll be right mate” - nobody seems to give a flying toss about details like water dripping between the fascia and the gutter. 🤷‍♂️ Ideally you would not use those crappy clips and put a drip edge / flashing on top of the fascia board, but most tradies don’t care and just repeat what everyone else is doing (badly).

[@malcolmc9685]

Good day. Can you replace gutters and downpipes by yourself without any license in NSW? Cheers

[@artproductions7036]

Can you use internal brackets if replacing existing guttering and the roofing iron is already on?

[@guitaradrian07]

Great vid.

[@metalroofing7210]

Adrian Doeven thanks 😊

[@australia3159]

Love your work guys, Can you tell me what brand of rivet-gun is that? I have struggled for a long time to find a decent one. Thanks.

[@IndustrialCutsCross]

Still using these excellent instructions. Question: as the quad gutter has a shorter back than front and I don’t have slots won’t the water seep down the back between the fascia? I can’t guarantee there won’t be a downpour and overflow. What would you do in this situation?

[@blueneet84]

Add spacers between the gutter and fascia. Ensure the outer gutter height is lower than the fascia. Cut an overflow section out at the end. Add a rainhead. Replace the gutters to have overflow slots. Those are your options.

[@IndustrialCutsCross]

@@blueneet84 thanks Andrew. As I’m only installing the gutters now I’ll go with the spacers portion. I’ve not seen spacers, any links to an example material?

[@blueneet84]

@IndustrialCutsandCrossfades it depends where you're located. Look up gutter spacer and see what comes up. Stratco has some. Lysaght has some. They aren't the most common solution. Queensland in Australia has just made them mandatory.

[@csxmad]

One more question should you put the gutter on before the roof or lay the sheets first then the gutter? cheers Robert

[@kevinaldcroft6291]

I have a join in the middle of my guttering (9 mtr approx) which has now become the low point in the gutter. Is it better to replace the guttering with one piece or would putting some screws or extra clips on the gutter be the best option to iron out the low point?

[@metalroofing7210]

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your message. It all depends on how much of a low point it has become. If it is only slight then you could re do the join, making sure you use plenty of silicone between the two pieces and rivet it up. Then lift the gutter up a little bit and put a screw through the back it to fix the dip. If the drop is to much then you will need to remove the gutter and re do the clips in the correct line 🤙

[@Jake-tq3fw]

The way you installed you gutter, Hocking them on and rolling up.will that work for longer lengths 8m for one person ?

[@metalroofing7210]

Hi Jake. Yes it is possible on your own with gutter up to around 9 metres. But if it is your first time attempting this, then I would recommend getting someone to give you a hand

[@lukestivala188]

Would you put the guttering on first or the roofing sheets

[@dannelson6842]

Great video When you have your fall going to the middle of the length of gutter do you do the gutter in 2 pieces or will it bend?

[@metalroofing7210]

Hi Dan. I would still only use one length of guttering, the guttering will bend to suit this small amount of fall but you will need to use some screws through the back of the gutter to hold it in place

[@karinpaxinos6941]

Could gutter be lower? Thinking of keeping it clean in treed area.

[@metalroofing7210]

Hi Karin, Yes you can have the gutter installed a little bit lower than I have done. I like to keep it fairly high because I don’t like to see the bottom edge of the roofing. Only issue you may have if you keep it to low is that in the event of a heavy downpour the water could go over the top of the gutter. Also go with the external gutter clips to make it easier to clean the gutters out

[@cchen2457]

A few of my gutter clips have come off, is it possible to re-clip without taking the gutter off?

[@alandavison7891]

C Chen me too! Would love a solution too!

[@metalroofing7210]

C Chen. Hi guy’s. If it is only a couple of the clips and you don’t want to have to remove the gutter, then you could just hold the gutter in the correct position and put a couple of roofing screws through the back of the gutter and into the facia. This should do the trick. Just make sure to pre drill a pilot hole first, this will make it allot easier 😀👍Daz

[@sajidrafique375]

I have two corners . In one the facia meet at 90deg and the other at 120 deg ..how do i do this with one downpipe ??

[@BNJMIN]

Great video. When replacing guttering with a roof that is already installed is it possible to get it close enough up under the edge of the corrugated roof?

[@metalroofing7210]

Hi Benjamin. It is possible, you just need to come down about 20 to 30 mm lower than you normally would. Unless it is a tiled roof which you can push the tiles up out of your way. Make sure to wear some gloves so you don’t cut your hands on the bottom edge of the roof sheets. 😀 good luck. Daz

[@violettamirlecka7398]

What size of screws you are using for the brackets

[@63Arnast]

Nice work, How far apart do you space the guttering clips?

[@metalroofing7210]

Ad Nast usually we space the clips around 900mm apart. No more than 1 metre 🙂

[@ajithrajapaksa2521]

Thanks, very usefull

[@MetalRoofingOnline]

Ajith Rajapaksa glad you you found it usefull. 😀👍

[@menderesabak5429]

Thankyou

[@metalroofing7210]

My pleasure 😀🏝

[@ALaughNahalf]

Fantastic job! I was just wondering... with the brackets going along the stringline, would I angle the brackets with the slight fall of the gutter? So for example, if you have that 20mm drop and the stringline is now on a slope, would I angle the bracket so that the bottom of the bracket is at the same angle as the string line? if that makes sense?

[@hfb17]

Nah keep them square.

[@ALaughNahalf]

@@hfb17 Really? Is that the standard though? to keep them square?

[@hfb17]

@@ALaughNahalf yup. It works out fine.

[@metalroofing7210]

Angle the brackets along the same line as the bottom of the string line

[@Sydspotterguy]

What happens when your gutter overflow for what ever reason and this does happen. What happens then when the gutters are at the top of the fascia ??????

[@metalroofing7210]

The gutter which I have used has the overflow slots cut into it. It is a requirement in Victoria that all licensed plumbers only use guttering which has these overflow slots cut into it.

[@sudnut]

Exactly, it's a problem. That's why gutters should not be too high on the fascia. No higher than the angle of water flowing off the tile or sheet. This also allows for easier nailing or screwing to the fascia when installing and then easier gutter cleaning once the system is in use. The only possible downside is the slightly larger gap but the benefits outweigh this. Great video, very well explained.

[@quoclien3343]

you got anyexamples of doing corner gutters like corner interior and exterior gutter? very informative the clips you guys have shown

[@metalroofing7210]

quoc lien. Hi there. Yes we do have other videos showing how to do the corners of the gutter 😊Daz

[@MrShakotan]

Should watched this BEFORE fitting the guttering

[@flylice2x]

What size rivets did you use 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch?

[@MetalRoofingOnline]

These are the rivets that we use: www.metalroofingonline.com.au/products/colorbond-pop-rivets-as4-3/ Diametre: 3.2mm. Length 8.2mm. Grip range 3.3-4.8mm. Drill size #30

Spray the bottoms of gutter clips before installing..

[@athenaexclamation4167]

what kind of silicon is used ?

[@MetalRoofingOnline]
