Hi,

We have two gutters that are butted straight up to each other without a union. Consequently there is a leak.

I wish to seal them so that the water does not leak. I am unable to establish the manufacturer. The gutters are folded aluminium sheet.

In my minds eye I believe that some sort of flashing tape might do the job. Either off the shelf or using lead sheet folded and sealed with a glue or mastic.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks,

Peter

A roll of foil faced "flashband" would do the job, but how long it lasts is another question.
