“Strong stuff, not easy to fit”

★★★☆☆

written by on 24/10/2012

It's very annoying to be told that a product is well designed and easy to install, if it isn't. I have had Lindab's steel guttering three times now, twice on rise and fall brackets for stonework, and once for a fascia. The product is expensive and the quality looks amazing. I don't think they have thought through the needs of the UK market, though. Using the R&F brackets (they are massively strong and heavy, as they should be, for the price) there is lots of scope for adjustment so not too many problems. Fixing to a vertical fascia which already has roof sheets overhanging it by an inch or two is something else. When standing on a ladder, it is near impossible to snap the gutter into the fascia brackets (type KFK)as the rolled front edge is so strong. I rigged up a clamp, but the gutter was being permanently deformed by the clamp and still it would not go in. The eventual solution is luggage straps - to compress the gutter by 20mm right along each 3m length before offering it to the brackets. Lindab do make another type of bracket (SSK) which opens at the front, but beware of this - on a vertical fascia you may only be able to use one screw, as the screwhead gets in the way. The company appears to know there is a problem. I spoke to the sales rep and he knew exactly what the problem is, his only suggestion was to set the brackets out on spacers, which in fairness does help, but what a PITN. The company's fails to answer emailed enquiries and one email to the sales address even bounced back undeliverable, something which I found hard to believe. Great product Lindab, shame about the service and some of the details.

I posted the above review of Lindab guttering myself and would like to clarify that the problems I have had, relate to the brackets (fascia fixing). These are issues which Lindab really ought to sort out, as the product is good, really good in other respects.

This is a further update to my earlier comment and relates to a batch of Lindab galvanised guttering fitted on Lindab's rise & fall brackets on a house in Derbyshire. The job was done in June 2014. Now, in June 2015, most of the lengths of galvanised threaded bar Lindab supplied for the R&F brackets are rusty. The main components appear to be of excellent quality, but Lindab, a chain is as strong as its weakest link.
