Images of how end section of gutter joins with down pipe connection.
The gutter ends short and the two ends are held with mastic.
Is this how it should be done ?
Is it acceptable ?
There is a little upstand mid way between the two ends which leads me to imagine the two ends should terminate there.
Should there be rubber sealing strips in evidence ?
My experience of gutters is extremely limited but any I've done had an engineered overlap at the connections and a rubber seal inserted there.
