Installation - Leaf Safe Guttering - Enclosed Roof Gutter System to keep Gutters Clean, Safe & Leaf Free
Leaf Safe Guttering is a new gutter system designed to eliminate the risk of vermin, leaves and other tree debris from clogging up home gutters thereby creating a significant fire or flood hazard.
Existing Home
All guttering has to be removed and lowered to allow for Leaf Safe system to be fitted underneath existing roof. If guttering is suitable and in good condition, it can be cleaned and reused in conjunctions with Leaf Safe brackets and capping without removing existing roof.
All installation preparation is carried out on the ground as follows:-
Gutter is measured and cut to required length with mitres, stop ends, down pipe outlets, riveted and sealed. (A)
Brackets are set out and riveted to gutter at 1.2 centres allowing for 2.4 capping lengths from mitres etc. (B)

Gutter is then lifted into place on facia allowing 10 mm space betweeen top of bracket and outside edge of roof. (C) (this allows for capping to be positioned later). Temporary brackets are then screwed to facia. Spirit level is positioned inside gutter to check fall to down pipes. Gutter is then adjusted to suit. Remain brackets (D) are screwed into position.
