H D Sharman solves leaks with Gutterline system

H D Sharman's Rubberised Plygene Gutterline system has resolved a leaking gutter problem on an aircraft maintenance hanger at Manchester Airport.

The Monarch building's two perimeter gutters are positioned over 18m off the ground and can only be accessed with difficulty.

Each gutter measures around 73m in length and is almost 1m wide, and each one has 11 syphonic outlets.

Building movement and temperature fluctuations had caused the steel gutters' joints to spring.

As the Gutterline system has successfully been used before on other buildings, Monarch was 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.

Both custom made liners were fitted by Leafield Projects 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 one week.
