Installing Plygene® Gutterline

Correct installation methodologies prescribed by Sharman’s 12 Golden Rules are critical to the lifetime performance of the Plygene Gutterline system. Our Trained Contractor network receive comprehensive installation training and ongoing site support is provided by our team of Technical Services Managers. Moreover, a programme of site inspections and or audits is applied on all projects as a prerequisite to release of the Plygene Gutterline 25 year guarantee.

Purpose built training centre

We have two purpose built training facilities – one at our head office in Derbyshire and another in Wiltshire. At both, contractors learn from our experienced Training team about key system components and the installation methods required to secure the system’s 25 year product guarantee. Training programmes include a blended and interactive programme:

A review of the key system components
Hands-on practical fitting skills using purpose built demonstration rigs
Hot air welding techniques for bespoke moulded components

The 12 Golden Rules of installation with supporting videos
Standard and bespoke system fitting options
Digital support tools for installers
Site inspection and certification requirements to secure the 25 year product guarantee
