The concrete gutters that are removed are replaced with a seamless aluminium pre-painted system that is attractive, durable and economical. Most importantly the 'no joints, no leaks' system is the only gutter system to gain British Board of Agreement (BBA) certification.
The continuous aluminium gutter has a BBA CERTIFICATE which gives it a life expectancy of 30 years.

EVERLASTING ALUMIMIUM GUTTER
Aluminium gutter can be seen in many parts of the UK installed prior to 1970. It is still working well and, like all well installed continuous aluminium gutter, still not leaking!
The Mustang 125mm O.G. seamless and continuous aluminium gutter is extruded on site to fit the house. The gutter machine is in a 7.5 ton truck converted to be a workshop with all the necessary Mustang components in racks.
White is the prettiest but (like all types of white gutter) will show the dirt after a number of years. Darker colours are better for long term visual effect as dirt collected over time is not as apparent. We now have the latest fashionable colour Anthracite Grey!
LEAFGUARD / SNOWGUARD
If you never want to have to clean your gutters again, you may be interested in a product known as Leafguard and Snowguard.
Having been thoroughly tested and proven in the harsh extremes of the Canadian climate the "MustangGutter Systems" attained British Board of Agreement (B.B.A.) approval under Cert. No 91/2625 in 1991 and is exclusively installed by professional installers using 'Iron Man' gutter roll forming machines. Mustang's unique polycarbonate locking corners, locking connectors and stop ends make it the premier product of its type. With over 3 000 miles fitted to date it is the undisputed solution for replacement guttering in private and public sector housing and increasingly on 'new build', often being installed with maintenance free uPVC fascias, soffits and 'colonnade' powder coated extruded aluminium downpipes.
Advantages of Leafguard / Snowguard
- The leaf guard allows water to be recycled efficiently as it is so debris free.
- No leaves and small pieces can get into gutter. They just float away in the wind.
- Moss stays on top of the leaf guard and will wash over the top in heavy rain.
- Snow can’t get into gutter as the initial snow freezes on top of the mesh. As it melts it just runs off into the drain pipe.
- The leaf guard is tested to take 2ft. of rain per hour!
- Long lasting (minimum 40 years).
- Leaf guard comes in different sizes to fit various gutters. It is however NOT suitable for plastic gutters.
Leafguard can be fitted in the gutter at any point; however it is more costly to fit it retrospectively.
When we are fitting the gutter, fitting the Leafguard / Snowguard has no additional fitting cost. High quality leaf guard is expensive but worth the money. Buy cheap, pay twice!!
