Gutter and drain pipe fittings

1874

I am looking for older plastic gutter/drain pipe fittings/brackets/curners, joints for straight runs,
The down pipes are 70 x 70, the profile of the gutter is basic, not quite ogive, Id describe it as standard, but I couldnt get the suitable brackets/fittings in places I tried, brooks and goodwins,
Id new guttering fitted on the house and I wanted to reuse the old guttering for a shed, I know new stuff isnt that expensive but Id prefer just try use it rather than just have to dispose of it,
any options of where I can get the items?? Im in Dublin but even if I have to take a journey to collect.

Have you tried Homebase? Think they have a few different sizes.

Start off by checking the details of what you have. The corners etc. should have make and maybe also size and model. For example, if you know it is Marley or Wavin you will have narrowed down your search.

This might sound silly but why not take a drive around to see if there's anyone who's doing renovations and has thrown any out in a skip? It's a shame the amount of perfectly reusable stuff that's thrown into skips.
I once got pvc window fittings in a skip as I was on my way to buy new ones. I asked the builder if I could have them and he told me to take whatever was any good to me. I gave him the price of a few pints, I had my fittings and we were both happy.

Shoulda gave him a high five . You were making his skip cheaper.

Best chance you have is https://www.celuplast.com/contact-us/ in baldoyle. Send them an email with a pic of what you’re looking for. Forget brooks, Godwins, woodies and the like. They carry little in terms of variety. Failing that, just get cheap and cheerful new stock from them. Cost for a small job is peanuts.

I didnt, i didnt even think of the likes of homebase or woodies, i just didn't think theyd stock it, could be worth a try, or even b&q,

I couldnt determine any names from what i have, someone told me somewhere 70x70 could be wavin, not sure where id get that, eventually gotnthe gutters done and was just planning on reusing the old stuff for the shed, I foolishly thought it would be as handy and theyd unscrew everything out and I could clean it up for the shed, but they just levered it all off, cracked most stuff including corners and joints, all i have is straight lengths of gutter and squate cross section down pipes, need the other bits
