Using the Box gutter joiner and with all materials prepared, it took 1 person, 1 day to complete this box gutter installation job. Benefitting both roof plumber and client.
Box Gutter Installation Comparisons

Firstly: The Box gutter joiner is easy to install and meets the recommended specifications for the roof (no side shortening necessary). You can see how the two 'L' shaped halves can be placed easily. Undearneath: The recently installed 'C' shaped box gutter had been installed directly on top of the old rusted one, and was already rusting and leaking because of the old metal transferring its properties! If you look closely you can also see the new 'C' shaped box gutter had the sides cut short to facilitate installation but inturn reducing the box gutters capacity and life expectancy and risking overflowing in heavy rain. This box gutter has had a short life because of the difficulty and expense entailed in lifting existing roofs in order to remove the old box gutter and install the new. The two old box gutters will now be removed and replaced with the box gutter joiner.
