Replacement gutter parts needed - Qiubo Su
Hi All,
Yesterday late afternoon, after I poured some more self-made concrete around the paver edges around one ditch of my 2nd vegi garden at the back of my property, I used the a few months ago purchased extension ladder to climb up to the roof eaves area of my property, just above the roof of my garage next to my property, planning to repair the two pieces of cracked roof gutter parts, one gutter joiner and one gutter external corner, see the attached photos for the issues of these roof gutter parts. These roof gutter parts have issues for a long time, whenever it rains, there is some rain water dripping down onto the roof of my garage, this doesn't look and sound good, but this isn't a big issue and not an urgent issue for me either. My property has been in good condition, no issues, except that this gutter parts issue existed for years and the garage metal roof has some slightly leaking issue that started a few years ago, otherwise there is no issue for my property. The garage is an inhabitable area, so it isn't an urgent issue for me to resolve.
I plan to fix this roof gutter parts issue first, then install the rain water harvesting system with the large water tank I purchased before, see the large water tank in one of the photos and the photos taken from the ground for the roof gutter just above my garage roof. From the photos it isn't easy to tell the issue of the mentioned gutter parts.
Yesterday night, I tried to find the replacement parts online, e.g. from trademe, bunnings etc, for these two cracked gutter parts, but I couldn't find the suitable ones at a good price. Does anyone have the right parts at a good price to offer, or the used ones cost a lot less (the used ones would be better, as I'm not going to sell my property, so used ones are fine)?
When I get the right replacement parts, I can climb up there again and repair the issue promptly, with the long enough ladder I now have.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Qiubo Su
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Here's what you need to know before making an offer on a house
🏠 What is the neighbourhood like?
Familiarise yourself with the neighbourhood, to check accessibility to public transport, schools and shops. Visit the street at different times of day, to find out how quiet or noisy it gets. Check with the local council whether they know of any future developments in the area that could increase noise or traffic.
🏠 How much are the rates and insurance?
Do a property search on the local council’s website to see what the rates are.
You can also get quotes from insurers to find out what it might cost to insure it.
Check whether the homeowner is paying off the cost of installing insulation or heating units through their rates, because you will inherit that debt if you buy the house.
🏠 For a unit title, check the pre-contract disclosure
If the property is on a unit title development (for example, an apartment), ask to see the pre-contract disclosure. This is basic information about the unit and the unit title development.
🏠 Get a LIM (Land Information Memorandum) report
A LIM report tells you everything the local council knows about the land and the buildings, for example, what building consents and code compliance certificates they have issued for work done on the property.
🏠 Pre-purchase building inspection
Get an independent building inspector to examine the house thoroughly and look for potential problems with weather-tightness, wiring, plumbing or the foundations (piles).
Ask them to check for features that might make maintenance more difficult. For example, some types of wall claddings need specialist knowledge to maintain, access to the gutters might not be straightforward, and retaining walls can be expensive to repair.
🏠 Check the property title
Ask a lawyer or conveyancer to check the property title for things like easements. For example, an easement might allow a neighbour to access part of the property. The property title should also confirm the property boundary.
