Got a hole in your gutter you just can’t wait to fix?
Usually, you need to wait for the rain to stop, but in an emergency you can use Selleys Storm Waterproof Tape and have the hold patched up in a matter of minutes. Not just for gutters, this tape can be used inside the house with leaking pipes too!
A hole this large means it’s time for a new gutter, but until you can replace it you can stop the leak.
Here’s how
Step 1
Use a scourer to clean away dirt and grime from around the leak – but not too hard in case you make it worse!
Step 2
Cut a strip of tape 2-3cm larger than the leak and peel off backing paper.
Step 3
Starting from one side, press tape over leak, expelling any water under it as you go. Monitor for a few minutes, closing any leaks, until the tape grips.
