GUTTERLINE FLIES TO THE RESCUE

Monarch Aircraft Engineering Ltd have recently specified H D Sharman’s Rubberised Plygene Gutterline system to resolve a leaking gutter problem on their colossal maintenance hanger at Manchester Airport.

The building’s two perimeter gutters are positioned over 18m off the ground and can only be accessed with difficulty. What’s more each gutter measures some 73m in length and is almost 1m wide. Just to complicate things further, each one also has 11 syphonic outlets.

The problem was that building movement and temperature fluctuations had caused the steel gutters’ joints to spring, but because they had used the Gutterline system with great success on other buildings, Monarch were confident that the made-to-measure liners, which create a seamless ‘gutter within a gutter’ would be the most efficient and cost-effective solution. Rubberised Plygene Gutterline is BBA approved, tolerates building movement and temperature changes and also carries a 20-year guarantee.

Gutterline is manufactured exclusively by H D Sharman Ltd and both custom made liners were fitted by Leafield Projects Ltd of Accrington using a high reach cherry picker to access the roof. Despite the scale of the task and the difficulties involved, the entire job was completed in just one week.

Following severe weather testing of the Gutterline installation, the leaking gutter problem has been solved and Monarch had no hesitation in congratulating Leafield and H D Sharman on a job well done.

Interbuild: Stand No. 05-E30 For the answer to leaking gutters

If visitors to this year’s Interbuild wish to know how to stop gutters leaking, they only have to visit H D Sharman’s stand number 05-E30, where once again they will find everything they wish to know about Rubberised Plygene Gutterline.

Gutterline can be used on virtually any type of building and any profile of gutter, no matter how wide or long it may be. Gutters in excess of 200 metres in length and over 4 metres wide have been successfully lined using this highly regarded waterproofing system.

All Gutterline is made-to-measure for every project and is supplied in a one-piece, joint-free roll that is simple and quick to install, even in the inclement British climate.

As a ‘total system’ the Gutterline programme includes all sizes of outlets, bespoke corners, junctions, weirs, overflows, side boxes, stop ends and boundary joints etc. It can also be used with syphonic outlets.

H D Sharman’s Gutterline system is made from the company’s own patented Rubberised Plygene material, which is extremely tolerant of temperature change and building movement. It has been specified for all types of buildings from huge warehouses, offices and small retail units, to iconic structures such as the world famous barrel roof on St Pancras International. Gutterline is also increasingly specified for new build structures as a cost-effective ‘insurance’ against joint failure in the gutters.

For buildings that incorporate Finlock style sectional concrete gutters as frequently found on public sector housing stock, there is a special Gutterline secondary gutter system.

Property owners, architects and specifiers, as well as builders and roofing contractors, will benefit from visiting the H D Sharman Ltd stand.
