Rainwater Health & Safety

All gutter installations need to be undertaken with safety as the primary concern - we would always advise working from a scaffold rather than a ladder. If you are not confident or do not have the correct equipment then you should consider employing a professional tradesman - accidents at height can be life-changing. However if you are confident in carrying out the work yourself and you are not sure that your equipment is of a satisfactory standard, a call to your local hire shop can often be the answer - they will happily collect and deliver whatever you need.
