"Fascia brackets are crucial components of any guttering system, ensuring that your gutters stay securely fastened to the exterior of your home, regardless of weather conditions. Often referred to as gutter clips, these brackets play a key role in maintaining the proper alignment of your gutters to facilitate smooth water drainage. However, their effectiveness depends entirely on correct installation, particularly the spacing between them.
For starters, the initial bracket should be placed about 100mm from the edge of the fascia board, and subsequent brackets should be spaced no more than 1000mm apart. It’s also important to keep them within 150mm of any connections or fittings. If you’re dealing with gutter angles or external stop ends, place a bracket within 15cm on either side. On the other hand, unions, running outlets, and stop end outlets usually come with built-in fixing lugs and don’t require additional brackets. Downpipes and their fittings should be supported by downpipe clips, with one installed every 180cm, especially under any swan neck bends.
The specific spacing of brackets can vary based on the type and weight of your gutter system and the local climate, particularly regarding snow accumulation. For example, half-round, deep flow, square, and mini gutters typically require brackets every meter, whereas industrial gutters like 160mm, 170mm, and 200mm might need them closer together at 60cm intervals. Ogee gutters generally call for brackets spaced 80cm apart.
Improper bracket spacing can lead to instability in the system, causing bending, leaks, or even breaks due to excessive strain on the gutters. Therefore, precise bracket placement is essential for the durability of your entire guttering setup.
If you're in a region prone to snow, keep in mind that accumulated snow can add significant weight to your gutters. While our products meet British manufacturing standards and are tested to handle up to 75kg of snow when spaced correctly, it’s worth considering snow guards if your roof is covered with slippery materials like slate to prevent snow from entering your gutters.
Safety should always be a priority during installation. Use scaffolding or have someone hold the ladder securely while you work. Wear protective gloves and safety goggles when drilling or cutting fascia boards if necessary.
