The Manufacturing Difference: Durability by Design
Not all metal gutters are equal. While many competitors simply degrease and paint, Alugutter employs a rigorous 5-stage finishing process to prevent paint failure:
- Hand Sanding: Every item is manually abraded to create a superior surface key.
- Chemical Degreasing: Removal of all contaminants.
- Etch Priming: A specialist primer is applied to chemically bond with the alloy.
- Powder Coating: Application of Interpon D1036 architectural-grade polyester powder.
- Curing: Baked for a hard, fade-resistant finish.

Quality Aluminium Gutters
If you seek a rainwater system that combines strength, durability, and style, consider our range. These metal gutters address all eavesline roofing requirements, with profiles, sizes, and colours suited to diverse environments, ensuring protection against the elements.
Our systems utilise marine-grade alloys and come in standard finishes, including textured black and RAL 7016 anthracite grey. Custom polyester powder coatings to any RAL or BS reference are available upon request.
At Alugutter, we emphasise superior products at competitive factory prices, supported by our technical team for guidance. These rainwater systems deliver longevity, with functional life expectancy around 50 years and coatings lasting over 25 years with basic care. The fade-resistant polyester finishes maintain appearance over time.
Suitable for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses, all items are designed and produced in the UK by our team.
Easy Install Jointing System
Our unique Snapfit twinseal jointing method facilitates quick, simple, and neat installations. These metal gutters suit installation by any tradesperson and perform well in high winds or heavy snowfall, with adjustable bracket spacing for such conditions.
Fire Rating for Aluminium Gutters
These systems achieve class A2-s1,d0 fire rating, permitting use on buildings of any height.
Maintenance Tips for Aluminium Gutters
Maintenance remains straightforward. Our low-maintenance designs need only occasional cleaning with fresh water and a soft brush. Annually—or twice yearly in marine settings—inspect joint integrity and remove debris.
After extended service, if the polyester powder finish dulls, overpaint with quality metal paint.
In essence, our rainwater solutions provide a stylish, low-maintenance option that surpasses alternatives. With custom choices and support, we address your requirements. Shop the collection, utilise our take-off calculator for estimates, or contact us for tailored advice.

If the colour you require is not within our standard list please contact us for pricing. We can provide our products polyester powder coated to any RAL or BS colour reference.
Guttering with Exceptional Durability
Our systems prioritise resilience, using robust base materials and tough coatings to withstand elements better than alternatives. For gutters requiring infrequent replacement, this material excels.
How Long Do Aluminium Gutters Last?
Produced from marine-grade alloys and exterior-grade polyester powders, these will not rust, rot, or crack like iron or steel. The paint ranks among the most durable decorative options. Functional life expectancy reaches approximately 50 years, with coatings providing decorative finish for over 25 years under minimal maintenance.
Fascia Bracket Spacing
Brackets should space at maximum 1 metre. In windy or snowy areas, reduce spacing. Options include fascia board attachments, rafter arm fixings, and brickwork spikes.
Gutter Joints
The Snapfit twinseal method simplifies installation: apply high-performance silicone sealant (code SU1) between foam spacers in jointers, outlets, and angles, then click together. For Moulded Ogee, male ends slot into sections, sealed with SU1 and anchored via nuts and bolts (code SU5).
How to Install Aluminium Gutters
Any tradesperson can install using mitre or skill saws with metal blades for cuts.

Gutter Maintenance
Powder coated aluminium guttering systems have a proven track record for being extremely durable whilst requiring little maintenance. This is one of the reasons they are widely specified for high end domestic applications.
Aluminium eaves systems are also commonly seen on high rise buildings, office blocks, schools, churches and retail units as regular cleaning is often impractical due to costs and accessibility. Our systems will offer a significant saving on maintenance costs when compared to other guttering materials.
Similar to aluminium windows and other painted surfaces, periodic cleaning of our aluminium gutters should be undertaken to keep the system looking fresh and prolong the life of the paint.
In most cases, rainwater will wash away light grime build-up. To wash away pollutants or salt in coastal environments, polyester powder coated surfaces only require fresh water and a soft brush to bring the original appearance back.
Once a year, or twice in a marine environment, we recommend that the gutter system is cleaned and joint integrity is checked. Any collected gutter debris should also be removed.
Cleaning of gutter systems can often be undertaken at ground level by specialist gutter cleaning companies. Often window cleaning services will also offer this type of service.
Can Aluminium Guttering be Painted?
Following many years of service, once the original polyester powder paint finish loses its original lustre, the painted surfaces can be overpainted using a good quality metal paint.
Surfaces should be first be sanded down with a light abrasive to remove any of the old loose paint. The system can then be cleaned with a soap and water solution in preparation for the primer.
Apply a good quality metal primer as this is the basis for a long durable finish. Leave the primer to dry and then apply the paint as per manufacturer’s instructions.
Top tip: Check the weather forecast! Ideally painted surfaces will need at least 3 days to dry.

Seamless Guttering vs. Sectional: Why Material Grade and Manufacturing Methods Matter
Discover why sectional aluminium gutters manufactured from high-grade 6063 T6 hardened extrusion offer superior durability and longevity compared to site-formed seamless alternatives. While "seamless" systems are often marketed as leak-proof, they frequently rely on thin-gauge metal and inferior PVC joints. In this technical guide, we compare material thickness, the importance of our hand-sanded Interpon D1036 powder coating process, and why a factory-engineered sectional system is the professional choice for the UK climate.
