Part 2– Influencing factors when specifying materials Cost of materials & installation Function Design features Performance – long term maintenance Environment – sustainability Health & Safety
Cost of materials & installation The cost of building materials is a major consideration in specification. Specifying the appropriate rainwater systems will significantly reduce installation time & labour.

Performance & Long Term Maintenance Cast Iron Redecoration to prevent corrosion, Gutters may facture and leak where bolt fixings rust Leaking pipe work leads to external & internal damp problems Staining of external walls
Design & Installation The amount of rainwater collected by a given roof area largely determines the choice of gutter system used and the number & positioning of the outlets. Part 2– Influencing factors when specifying materials Health & Safety
Part 2 – Influencing factors – Health & Safety Construction has the largest number of injuries compared to other main industry groups. Compared to other industries, construction has the highest proportion of reported injuries caused by falls from height. On average 12 people a year die at work falling from ladders.
Influencing factors - Health & Safety Plastic is a lightweight material Safer to handle-reduces risk of injury Simple cutting methods - No power tools required Low maintenance material, reducing the requirements for ladders or scaffolding. Safer to work with at height Reduced chance of injury caused by falling gutters due to weather extremities, such as heavy snow fall.
Design & Installation Rainfall Record Rainfall Summer 2007 Summer (May to July) 2007 recorded the wettest period since records began in 1766 England & Wales received 414mm, (16 inches) of rainfall. The insurance costs to home & Business is estimated £3 billion.
Design & Installation Rainfall Rainfall 2008 Flooding of homes and businesses across parts of the South-West Midlands, South and Mid Wales. On the 6th September, flooding affected North East England. Morpeth in Northumberland was badly hit with some 1000 properties flooded.
Design & Installation Rainfall Rainfall 2009 Cumbria In Workington a road bridge collapsed, effectively cutting off half the town, The town centre of Cockermouth was under 2 metres of flood water
Design & Installation Domestic Rainwater Systems
Design & Installation Domestic Rainwater Systems Choosing the right gutter! 106mm Pro-Style & 115mm Deep-style The profiles offer high levels of efficiency Up to 50% greater flow capacity. The potential to reduce downpipes & underground drainage Complement building design Reduce cost.
Design & Installation Domestic Rainwater Systems 100m² Roof area Assuming gutter run is level 100m² Roof Area
Design & Installation Domestic Rainwater Systems 350m² Roof area Assuming the gutter run is level 350m² Roof Area
Design & Installation Domestic Rainwater Systems Sloping Roof In the case of simple roof slopes, the effective roof area is derived from the formula B+(C/2)xL. B=half roof span (4m) C=ridge to eaves height (4m) L=slope length (10m) E=effective roof area (60m²)
Design & Installation Domestic Rainwater Systems Building Regulations H3 Formula – D x L x 1.50 = 60m² 4M - D 10M 45°
Design & Installation Domestic Rainwater Systems Typical Installation of gutters fitted to fascia board
Design & Installation Alternative gutter support methods Rise & Fall Brackets Top/Side Rafter Brackets
Design & Installation High Capacity Rainwater Systems 160mm Roundstyle Gutter
Design & Installation Gutter support spacing Gutters support spacing should NOT EXCEED900mm. However, Roofs with a pitch exceeding 35 deg or Roofs with smooth surfaces or Areas subject to heavy snow loading Gutter support spacing should NOT EXCEED 600mm
Design & Installation Downpipes Pipes are 1.8m in length, Socketed with fixing lugs
Design & Installation Installation of Downpipes Expansion allowance should be taken into consideration for thermal movement Pipes should be retracted 5mm (68mm) & 10mm (105mm) before being fixed to the building.
Design & Installation - Hoppers Authentic Hopper styles & designs provide an opportunity for the client to individualise their rainwater systems
Design & Installation Offset Bends Offset bends are pre-set to replicate the appearance of traditional cast iron. Sizes range from 75mm to 455mm
Design & Installation Downpipe Shoes The shoe adds authentic detailing to maximise the traditional appearance. A shoe is used to divert water into a drainage outlet or onto a paved area away from the building
Design & Installation Soil system To compliment the rainwater systems: The soil system is ‘push-fit’ a standard system with a textured paint coating applied • 110mm socketed pipes • Lengths of 2.5m
Design & Installation Soil system - Shroud To maximise the traditional appearance a shrouded collar is used, developed to fit around pipe sockets and connections between pipes & fittings.
Design & Installation - Colour Options 5 heritage colours available
Part 4 - Case Studies – Location & Conservation Conclusion Questions & Samples
Location & Conservation English Heritage – Conservation Principles, Policies & Guidance ‘The use of materials or techniques with proven longevity, and which are close matches for those being repaired or replaced, tends to carry a low risk of future harm. By contrast, the long-term effects of using materials or techniques that are innovative and relatively untested are much less certain.’ ‘Sometimes the use of original materials and techniques for repair can destroy more of the original fabric, and any decoration it carries,
