Try Rainclear for new stuff, or architectural salvage yards for used.

Worst case Pat a friend of mine broke his FIRST piece of his cast guttering and replaced it with plastic and coated it in car underseal - the real thick lumpy stuff and it looked just like cast iron from the ground!

His second but that some kits broke with a football he tacked back to gether with the welder and made a mould and then laid one up in fibreglass and painted it to suit, cant tell the difference with ether to be honest.

let me know if it works!

Mine broke about 2 months ago and with it being a 3 floor building everyone that's come to have a look as declined on the basis they don't have ladders tall enough





If it isn't broke, fix it until it is

Been round the usual suspects and found nothing. The cost from the online place is 26 plus a tenner for pat tax.

So we have some spare gutter so i will weld a new one. Welding cast iron is interesting as you have to limit the heat buildup to small runs.



will post pics later

I know you said 'No Plastic' but this is some 'kind' of compromise The finish is rough, similar to cast iron, only you can't see it that well in the photo.

Any good?
