In this video I show you how I repaired a dripping gutter today whilst it was raining, using a cast iron gutter joining kit.
I did have to improvise as the gutters, over 50 years old need fully refurbishing. Today's repair was intended to stop rain water dripping onto the path below and into the house, causing damp. On tightening the bolts to clamp down the EPDM gasket, one end of the repair was still leaking. You are advised not to overtighten cast iron gutters, and on tightening the bolt a little further to stop the leak, the gutter cracked. I have plenty of spare guttering and will cut a new section in the summer, but today to complete the repair, I used some Geocel superior construction sealand.
