The PVC guttering (Osma "Squareline") around my property is leaking at several places wherever there is a join or connection. It would seem that the clip, which pulls the guttering down onto a soft rubber gasket is not doing so sufficiently to make a watertight joint. The components are of course designed to allow for the thermal expansion and contraction so I am reluctant to start applying mastic which I feel will not survive the thermal movement. Any suggestions from our knowledgeable ABers would be appreciated. Many thanks.

The seals can become perished and softer over time. I would just replace the jointers. They are easily available and it's a simple job. Far better than trying to resell them

Thanks for your response Builder, I hoped you would pick up on my query. By jointers do you mean the rubber gaskets, they're available separately are they?
The whole fitting, Mal. Look at Tony's link. Perhaps you can get the seals only, but I've never seen them separately.

Thank you both.
Your welcome, hope you get it sorted, malana.
Ah .............. good old Ebay :o)
It might be an idea to put some lubricant on the joints/seals to help with the expansion/contraction.
