Aluminium gutters across Brighton and East Sussex eliminate the corrosion and replacement cycles that the coastal atmosphere accelerates — uPVC gutter joints loosen through thermal expansion and degrade under sustained UV and saline exposure, cast iron corrodes rapidly at every joint and cut edge in the salt air and demands repainting every decade, and steel corrodes through at all cut edges regardless of initial coating in the persistent coastal conditions.
Aluminium gutters across Brighton and East Sussex eliminate the corrosion and replacement cycles that the coastal atmosphere accelerates — uPVC gutter joints loosen through thermal expansion and degrade under sustained UV and saline exposure, cast iron corrodes rapidly at every joint and cut edge in the salt air and demands repainting every decade, and steel corrodes through at all cut edges regardless of initial coating in the persistent coastal conditions.
A single factory-direct supply from Alugutter delivers an expected 50-year functional lifespan and an expected 25-year decorative lifespan with minimal maintenance, removing the recurring replacement and maintenance costs that conventional systems impose across the standard ownership period of most Brighton properties.
Alugutter manufactures half round, deepflow, box, and moulded ogee aluminium gutter profiles at factory-direct prices for homeowners, contractors, and developers across Brighton, Hove, Kemptown, Preston Park, and Hanover, and the wider East Sussex area. Every gutter profile is extruded from 6063 T6 hardened aluminium with LM6 alloy castings for all union connectors, stop ends, and running outlets.
Each profile is hand-sanded before powder coating — a step our competitors routinely skip — ensuring the adhesion that underpins our 25-year decorative finish.
Half Round, Deepflow, and Box Gutter profiles feature our unique Snapfit twin-seal jointing system — a click-together method that requires no specialist tools and reduces installation time significantly, making the system accessible to both trade professionals and experienced DIYers.
Half Round and Deepflow profiles in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey and Textured Black are held in stock for five working day dispatch; Box Gutters in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey are also stocked.
All other RAL colours and all Moulded Ogee profiles are manufactured to order and dispatched within ten working days.

Climate Conditions English Channel coastal climate with persistent saline south-westerly winds, high UV intensity throughout the summer season, mild winters, and the warm dry conditions of the Sussex coast
Local Specification Note
Brighton's iconic Regency stucco terraces across Kemptown, the seafront, and the surrounding conservation areas require heritage-appropriate Moulded Ogee aluminium guttering as a maintenance-free replacement for ageing cast iron systems. Salt-laden Channel air destroys cast iron at joints and cut edges within years on Brighton's most exposed coastal properties in Hanover and Portslade.

Frequently Asked Questions — Aluminium Gutters in Brighton
Are aluminium gutters better than uPVC for coastal properties in Brighton?
Yes — aluminium gutters are significantly superior to uPVC in coastal environments such as Brighton. Marine-grade 6063 T6 extruded aluminium is entirely impervious to the saline atmospheric conditions generated by the nearby coast; uPVC degrades under UV exposure, becomes brittle in winter, and suffers joint failure from thermal expansion that salt air accelerates. Aluminium gutters deliver a 50-year functional lifespan with no joint failure, no discolouration, and no maintenance — a standard uPVC cannot approach in any coastal environment.
How long do aluminium gutters last in the salt air environment near Brighton?
Alugutter's aluminium gutters carry a 50-year functional lifespan guarantee and a 25-year decorative life — the powder coating is over-paintable beyond that period. The Interpon D1036 architectural polyester powder coat applied to every profile is specifically formulated for external coastal exposure and resists salt deposition, UV degradation, and the persistent moisture of the Brighton coastal environment without repainting or maintenance. Cast iron gutters in comparable coastal positions typically require complete replacement or heavy maintenance within 20 to 30 years.
What size aluminium gutter do I need for a property in Brighton?
Gutter sizing is determined by effective roof area (the plan area of the roof in square metres) and the rainfall intensity for your location, measured in litres per second. Coastal properties in Brighton should use the BS EN 12056-3 design rainfall intensity for the region — typically 0.021 l/s per m² for a 2-minute storm event. Standard half round profiles suit effective roof areas up to approximately 18 m² per outlet; deepflow profiles extend this to around 35 m². Contact Alugutter with your roof dimensions and we will specify the correct profile and running outlet spacing for your property.
Why are the cast iron gutters on my Brighton coastal property corroding so quickly?
Cast iron corrodes rapidly in coastal environments because salt-laden air deposits chloride ions at every joint, cut edge, and painted surface, dramatically accelerating the electrochemical corrosion process. Properties near the coast in Brighton are in a continuous marine atmosphere that can reduce cast iron gutter lifespan to under 20 years — sometimes significantly less in the most exposed positions. The only permanent solution is to replace cast iron with marine-grade aluminium gutters that the coastal atmosphere cannot corrode regardless of exposure level or proximity to the water.
